I am able to build an HTML table containing the data I need and I can then use the javascript from datatables.net to act on that data for display. I also purchased a license for wpDataTables, which is a paid plugin for that javascript that also provides tools for building a query into the WordPress database, or directly into SQL. The problem is that I have no idea how to handle relational data. I have 3 post types; items, cases and products. Products are created by picking a case and filling it with items. Products have some of their own custom fields.

I need to display a product price list that shows products, including specifics about cases and items, so I need to be able to get the correct relational data structure.

I've also asked this question to the authors of the wpDataTables plugin. It would be great if your 2 companies could provide a walk-through for how to set up a data connection from wpDataTables to Toolset custom post types and custom fields, particularly relational data. This combination would really be useful.
