Gravity Forms - WPDB / MySQL Connect

Gravity Forms – WPDB / MySQL Connect is a professional WordPress plugin that directly connects Gravity Forms forms to your MySQL database tables. Designed for developers and professionals who need total control over the storage and management of data submitted through their forms, this plugin eliminates the limitations of default entry storage and allows you to write, update, and delete records directly in custom database tables.

The plugin integrates natively with the Gravity Forms Feed Add-On framework, meaning setup is simple and familiar: you simply add a WPDB Connect feed to your form and map each form field to a column in the desired table. You can define a primary key so that any edits or deletions made from the Gravity Forms panel are automatically reflected in the corresponding table, ensuring perfect synchronization between both systems.

One of its most powerful features is the ability to dynamically populate fields using SQL queries. Select, multi-select, radio, checkbox, and chained select fields can be populated directly from the database. Similarly, pricing fields (product, option, and shipping) can be filled with values and prices obtained through queries. Additionally, it offers validation of text fields against the database, as well as SQL validation at the entire form level, allowing you to apply complex rules at submission time.

The plugin supports a wide variety of Gravity Forms field types, including standard, advanced, post, and pricing fields, as well as the chained select and credit card fields. It also includes full support for the Gravity Forms API (GFAPI), allowing entries created or updated through the API to also trigger feeds. Conditional logic allows feeds to be processed only when certain conditions are met, and merge tags can be used within queries so that they depend on values from other fields in the same form.

In summary, Gravity Forms – WPDB / MySQL Connect is the ultimate tool for those who need to integrate their forms with custom databases, automate data flows, and build robust web applications on WordPress. If you have SQL knowledge and are looking for a flexible and secure solution to manage data at the database level, this plugin is for you.
