Creating a Plugin for Wordpress

[ciber]

I am currently trying to create a plugin for wordpress, basically I need the main page to show a list of all the items, when I click the title of an item I want it to edit.

There is also an add feature, and all this is stored in a database.

 

Now creating in PHP for me would be easy, but with wordpress I am confused as hell as to how it queries stuff and accesses the database. Does anyone know of any basic applications I can use to see how it works, or even better a tutorial or book that shows this.

 

Thanks

Wordpress queires the database through a function wp_query. You can read about it at http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/WP_Query. You dont require to specify the database setting just fire the query using wp_query. Thus makes it simpler to use wordpress with your database.
