The Plugin Table Inspector helps identify non-core tables, estimate their probable owner and decide whether they should be protected, exported or reversibly quarantined.
Unknown does not mean junk
An unknown table is not automatically unnecessary.
Astricode Ops deliberately restricts quarantine when ownership cannot be established with sufficient confidence.
The interface warns that quarantine is enabled only when a known signature identifies:
- an installed but inactive plugin; or
- a plugin that is no longer installed.
Tables belonging to active plugins cannot be quarantined.
Table information
The table list can show:
- table name;
- estimated owner;
- owner status;
- rows;
- size;
- protection status;
- Inspect action.
Known ownership signatures
Astricode Ops can recognize signatures associated with known plugins. Recognition is an estimate based on table naming and plugin state, not a universal guarantee of ownership.
Review the Estimated owner and Status together.
Protection
Important tables can be protected from quarantine.
Core WordPress tables and essential Astricode Ops tables remain locked by design.
Manual protection is useful when you know a table must remain even if its plugin ownership appears inactive or uncertain.
Reversible table quarantine
Supported tables can be moved to quarantine through a reversible rename within the same database.
Astricode Ops records the original table name, the quarantine name, integrity context and retention information.
Use Reversible Quarantine to restore the table or permanently delete the quarantined table later.
Safe test
The interface includes a Run safe reversible table test action for validating the quarantine mechanism without treating an arbitrary production table as disposable.
