EasyTable Pro

EasyTable Pro supports all the standard types found in EasyTable for J! and two additional fields types to help provide better display, sorting and storage features.

It also support field options that affect the formatting of each field, you can read more about that in EasyTable Pro - Field Display Options. This article is about the way each type is stored in MySQL and some things you will want to watch out for. When you change the field type in an EasyTable you've created the underlying MySQL column type is changed as well, when this happens MySQL tries to convert any data in the columns to fit the new type - sometimes this can cause issues. The two most common issues are data truncation or data in an invalid format for the new type.

The good thing is that you can re-import the data from your CSV or TAB file quickly and easily if you experience a problem.
