Estoy divirtiendo el siguiente código para mostrar datos de la base de datos utilizando datos de datos de jQuery

    $(document).ready(function() { 
    var oTable = $('#example').dataTable( {
     "bProcessing": true,
     "bServerSide": true,
     "sAjaxSource": "server.php" }
     ); 
     } );

El código anterior muestra los datos en la tabla.

 <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="display" id="example">
    <thead>
      <tr>
        <th>first name</th>
        <th>last name</th>
        <th>email</th>


      </tr>
    </thead>

    <tfoot>
      <tr>
        <th>first name</th>
        <th>last name</th>
        <th>email</th>
      </tr>
    </tfoot>
  </table>

Ahora quiero agregar / actualizar y eliminar datos. ¿Cómo hago eso?

Lo intenté

 $(document).ready(function() { 
    var oTable = $('#example').dataTable.makeEditable( {
     "bProcessing": true,
     "bServerSide": true,
     "sAjaxSource": "server.php" }
     ); 
     } );

pero los datos no aparecen. ¿Cómo debo ir?

EDITAR:

Aquí está el archivo server.php que usé. server.php es solo un nombre que le he dado al archivo server.php
