 * Add custom table for ACF data save to custom database table:
    [https://hookturn.io/downloads/acf-custom-database-tables/](https://hookturn.io/downloads/acf-custom-database-tables/)
 * **Features**
    - Easily create custom database tables with our simple UI
    - Data storage in core meta tables can be deactivated entirely
    - Relational fields can form their own tables
    - Map ACF fields to columns in custom database tables
    - Detailed documentation and help is built into the plugin
 * **Benefits**
    - Portability – export a whole table with ease
    - Searchability – structured data can be searched much faster
    - Speed – structured data can offer less work to database engines
    - Scalability – more efficient queries == less strain on resources
 * Would also make the frontend search functionalities faster when searching through
   ACF values with it’s own table and index.

 * Hey Rookie,
 * I don’t really understand the feature request? You want me to integrate “Custom
   DB Tables” plugin directly in ACF Extended? You want an alternative version?
 * The plugin seems to do a nice job on it’s own. However, I’m still looking forward
   the repeater/flexible content integration which is lacking for the moment.
 * Making an alternative version would require a lot of work, and it’s not in the
   scope of ACF Extended for the moment. However, I should take a look at how to
   make ACF Extended new fields compatible with this plugin.
 * Regards.

 * [@hwk-fr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hwk-fr/) I understand.
 * No, my feature request was creating the same and add it into acf extended. But
   I understand it may be out of the scoop.
 * Do this plugin speed up backend and frontend performance as well? Or would it
   just help organize and make search functionalities faster for ACF fields?
