I don't think this plugin does what you want, unless you are willing to write code. The data stored is in JSON, one dictionary per book. It would be very difficult to write a query in SQL.

As for not populating: it works for me. I can think of two possible problems:
1) You haven't enabled the plugin for the library you are using. To enable the plugin for the current library go to Preferences / Plugins / Library Closed Plugins / Save Composite Columns / Customize Plugin.
2) You are running calibre with python 3. I haven't tested the plugin in that environment.

You can see what is happening by running calibre in debug mode. When you quit calibre you should see a message similar to

Code:

plugin Save Composite Custom Columns library C:\...\...\Library.test_small: updated 77 books in 0:00:00.082000
