[wp-hackers] How to use $wpdb in plugins

[Stephen Harris]

If you are referring to the default database tables then there are 
functions available that allow you to add/remove/insert records. If 
these are custom tables then I typically would create functions which 
handle those operations, along with any required validation and 
sanitisation. That way any SQL statements (and the global $wpdb) are 
contained within those three (or thereabouts) functions.
