Overview
This ACF plugin makes it possible to store ACF data in structured database tables instead of WordPress core meta tables.
It uses ACF’s acf/update_field_group hook to create/update the database and then uses acf/save_post hook to store the data.
It was heavily inspired by Austin Ginder’s post https://anchor.host/acf-custom-fields-stored-in-custom-table/.
