Adding a database to a WordPress plugin can be a challenging task, but not impossible. First, you’ll need to identify the type of database you want to use. There are several popular options, including MySQL, MongoDB, and PostgreSQL. Next, you’ll need to find a plugin that handles database activation and management.

Some popular options include WPBakery Page Builder by WordPress.com and Database Manager by Codeigniter. Once you’ve identified the plugin and installed it, you’ll need to create a database and add a user. Finally, you’ll need to create a plugin activation code and add it to the plugin’s functions.
