Title: SQL Executioner Author: Justin Watt Published: Novemba 12, 2012 Last modified: Septemba 28, 2016 --- Tafuta vijalizi This plugin **hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress**. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/sql-executioner.svg) # SQL Executioner By [Justin Watt](https://profiles.wordpress.org/justincwatt/) [Pakua](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/sql-executioner.zip) * [Details](https://sw.wordpress.org/plugins/sql-executioner/#description) * [Reviews](https://sw.wordpress.org/plugins/sql-executioner/#reviews) * [Installation](https://sw.wordpress.org/plugins/sql-executioner/#installation) * [Development](https://sw.wordpress.org/plugins/sql-executioner/#developers) [Saidia](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/sql-executioner/) ## Maelezo Instead of needing a tool like [phpMyAdmin](http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/index.php) or the mysql command line client to view and modify your WordPress database, the SQL Executioner allows you to run arbitrary SQL queries against your WordPress database from within the Admin. In many cases this allows you to bypass the inherent limitations of the WordPress Admin interface, and use the full expressive power of SQL to analyze and update your blog’s database. To use simply install and visit the Tools > SQL Executioner page. If you’re interested in contributing to the code behind this plugin, it’s also hosted on GitHub: https://github.com/justincwatt/wp-sql-executioner ## Screenshots * [[ * This is what you get after describing the posts table. ## Installation Extract the zip file, drop the sql-executioner folder in your wp-content/plugins/ directory, and then activate from the Plugins page. ## FAQ Does this plugin have any undo? No. It executes SQL queries directly against your database. If in doubt, run a ` SELECT` query before attempting an `UPDATE` or `DELETE` query to confirm what you are about to modify. Can I irreparably damage my WordPress database using this plugin? Yes. Do I have to know SQL to use this plugin? Yes. Other than a basic facility that will `DESCRIBE` each table for you, there is no GUI (graphical user interface). ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7c440804c2cf0e5154238823a3ce9938f0d702b6674452eac39be4a09058619a? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Still works for deleting 40,000 pending comments](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/still-works-for-deleting-40000-pending-comments-2/)󠁿 [neilturn](https://profiles.wordpress.org/neilturn/) Julai 21, 2021 Haven’t tested more than that, but it still does in 2021.

Unfortunately it is incompatible with Xenial Xerxus (or Ubuntu 16.04 LTS if you wish) – I had to remove it via command line as it was crashing my blog after OS upgrade. Will definitely reinstall once the issue is fixed.
