Is it possible to assign your own table name for tables in the DB?
The automatically generated tables in the database are very confusing and impractical.
"wv_wpdatatable_1", "wv_wpdatatable_2" ....
Especially when you work with SQL queries you don't know what is behind the tables. It would therefore make more sense that the creator can assign a table name.
I am sorry to disappoint you, but unfortunately, something like this is not possible with the plugin's built-in features.
It would be possible, of course, using some custom solution, but please note that modifying the plugin like this, and developing a custom solution like this is not included in the provided support for the plugin, so we can't help you with making the necessary changes.
It would be very easy to display a "Tablename" field in the form and then to create the table with this name when you save it. Before that, of course, a little check whether this name already exists. SQL queries with the generated table names are really terrible. ;-)
you can close this ticket. I renamed the database names directly in the database and tables and that works fine. You can only forward it to the developers if you see my suggestion as something that could be improved.
Please feel free to add this as a feature suggestion as well. It's always good for customers to add their suggestions because we develop features and modify the plugin based on the number of customers' requests.
So, more votes means that it's more likely this will be implemented sooner.

Hi Aleksandar,
sorry that I ask again.
It would be very easy to display a "Tablename" field in the form and then to create the table with this name when you save it. Before that, of course, a little check whether this name already exists.
