What can this extension do?

It allows you to query any database and generates a wikitext table from the result. Currently only MySQL tables are supported.

Usage

This can be used to pull data from your databases.

We used it on SICSRWIKI to bring info about food joints which was lying in an old archived Intranet portal.[3]. In fact that was the inspiration for writing this extension!
