I have several large data sets that I'm trying to show in tables on a report website. Some have more than 30,000 rows and 50 - 150 columns. Running them through DataTables they always error out because they can't load all the data in time. But I have a work around that doesn't use DataTables if there are more than 500 rows returned. I would still like to use the DataTable buttons though.
Is there a way that I can use the DataTable buttons on a table that doesn't get formatted by the DataTables extension?

It sounds like you might be able to benefit from using server-side processing, which will cope with millions of rows.
However, in reply to your specific question: no, the Buttons extension is specifically designed for use with DataTables and its API.
