#021: Table Wizard

Module Link: http://drupal.org/project/tw

  • Who: Only technical users - You pretty much have to understand how tables in databases work to get the most out of this module.
  • What: The Table Wizard module allows you to interface Drupal with non-Drupal database tables in the form of views.
  • When: Use this module when you need to pull data from a table that isn't related to Drupal but it does not need to go into nodes. Note: This module is useful for niche operations by its self but it really shines when paired with the Migrate module.
  • Where: You can find this module in the admin back end under content management.
  • Why: Not everything needs to be a full Drupal module. If you just need to reference data out of a database and you don't need it to be a full node, this is the module for you.
