Getting data from multiple db-tables

verba

Hi all! I'm very new to DataTables and I'm trying to figure out how to get data from multiple mysql tables. I can get it just fine from one table but I am doing this stats-site that requires me to get data from multiple db-tables to show up in one html table. Is this possible?

Sure it is - have you used JOINs in SQL before? That's what you want to use to get information from multiple tables. A bit outside the scope of this forum since its SQL rather than DataTables Javascript (although obviously related :-) ) - but this link might help you get started: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Join_(SQL)
