Configu

ration
Each plugin requires specific configuration parameters:

table: Name of the database table to use
fields: Field definitions for the table (for destination plugin) or field names to select (for source plugin)

Notes

The module automatically manages the creation of tables for the destination plugin.
Each table automatically includes id and created fields
When a table already exists, the module will only add new fields, not modify existing ones.
