I am using the ACF Custom Fields plugin to store some info, but to my understanding, it is stored in the wp_postmeta table. Is it possible to store it in a custom table instead? So for example, the data would be: fullName, age, gender. and I would like to create a table called personalInformation and have these 3 columns.

It is possible to save ACF data in custom tables by using a separate paid plugin called ACF Custom Database Tables.

However, if your goal is just to keep the database as light as possible, meevly.com’s solution of creating your own custom metaboxes would be the lightest-weight option, versus adding two plugins just to track a few bits of data.
