Can a Plugin create DB tables?

Hey again,

I am in the final step of making my payment gateway plugin and I need to store some id's given by the gateway to be cross referenced

when checking the gateway for the payment status

Is there is way to do this in the plugin it self or do i need to modify the core project?

Yes, you can create database tables. But in most cases it's easier and faster to use built-in capabilities like SyncMapping, GenericAttibute etc. for it.

thank you
