How to push json to datatables from multiple seperate queries

How to push json to datatables from multiple seperate queries

I need to create a datatable which draws information from multiple SQL queries (NOT JOINS)
Essentially I need to run 3 queries to get the information, and will create my JSON array in memory.
HOW do I get that "pushed" to data table sing server side processing?

I will use this for initial table load, as well as an ajax response to a custom button (which will change the data source)

Essential I am building a summary table (similar to an excel pivot table) which will respond to "filter" changes.

The queries are not "joinable" as they constitute several independent queries which provide COUNT fields.
I do not clearly understand the Server side of the equation, as the examples all involve running the query within the server side methods.

Thanks

    DataTables itself doesn't really "care" where the JSON comes from - for example if you have a JSON array in PHP you would just use echo json_encode( $myArray );.

    So basically you just need to have your server-side script result JSON.
