smd_query
If you ever get the urge to just dive into the TXP database and run an SQL query to do stuff, this could be the ticket. It’s a halfway house between the existing TXP tags/plugins and writing PHP directly. If you know SQL syntax, you can use this plugin as it allows you to run pretty much any SQL query you like and parse each row, one by one, via a form (or using the plugin as a container tag).
In true smd_ fashion you can specify that any input strings to the SQL queries are read from the current article, file or link fields (it does not currently read from the address bar, since that’s a huge security hole).
Use it wisely — carefully — and it might just touch the parts other plugins cannot reach, but if your database turns to spaghetti, it wasn’t me. Honest.
