Hi, I'v never used movable types before but have been given a task by my boss using it.
Basically I need to make a plugin that can create edit a mySQL database, add tables, add columns add data etc, and I have looked online and can't find any way on how to do it.
So basically I would like to know two things, can a plugin contain mySQL commands or is there a page with the movable types/perl database commands?
Thank you.

Movable Type has the object-oriented API to get/put data into the database. Although it is possible to write raw SQL queries in your plugin, it is not recommended as the framework. These developer guides help to understand the basics of the plugin development.
