I am using WordPress and I would like to develop more services for my website. I am thinking of creating new tables inside WordPress database. Will this approach work? I don’t want WordPress to delete my tables while updating etc.
These services will be on separate pages, they will not be WordPress plugins. I just want to use the WordPress database to store my tables.
As referenced by a WP Tech Ninja (Samuel Wood, aka Otto) in this post on wordpress.org, you can safely add tables to the WordPress database and it shouldn’t be an issue for upgrades or maintenance.
