How to Create Tables in WordPress using BerlinDB

I recently discovered a wonderful module in WordPress which can help you create tables in WordPress easily.

Here is the Client Code. I did some modifications in the BerlinDB class as well so that I pass the table columns in the Client code.

$columns = [

    //id
    'id'           => [
        'name'     => 'id',
        'type'     => 'bigint',
        'length'   => '20',
        'unsigned' => true,
        'extra'    => 'auto_increment',
        'primary'  => true,
        'unique'  => true,
        'sortable' => true,
    ],

    //url
    'url'         => [
        'name'       => 'url',
        'type'       => 'mediumtext',
        //'length'     => '127',
        //'unique'  => true,
        'unsigned'   => true,
        'searchable' => true,
        'sortable'   => true,
    ],

    //title
    'title'         => [
        'name'       => 'title',
        'type'       => 'mediumtext',
        'unsigned'   => true,
        'searchable' => true,
        'sortable'   => true,
    ],

    //author
    'author'         => [
        'name'       => 'author',
        'type'       => 'mediumtext',
        'unsigned'   => true,
        'searchable' => true,
        'sortable'   => true,
    ],

    //date_created
    'date_created' => [
        'name'       => 'date_created',
        'type'       => 'datetime',
        'date_query' => true,
        'unsigned'   => true,
        'searchable' => true,
        'sortable'   => true,
    ],

    //date_published
    'date_published' => [
        'name'       => 'date_published',
        'type'       => 'datetime',
        'date_query' => true,
        'unsigned'   => true,
        'searchable' => true,
        'sortable'   => true,
    ],

Here I’m setting the columns for the table. Now I need to pass these value to the table Class, which will create a table in the DB.

/**
 * TABLE SETUP
 * This creates the database tables, and add the table to the database.
 */

// Instantiate the Books Table class.
$table = new Build_Table( 'my_links', $columns);

The above code will create a table named wp_my_links with columns
