I want to write a plugin that creates a database. Then the user can select to have or not have data from the table. This needs to show up on the front end with their profile. How do I go about doing this?

17,730 PointsYou mean it needs to create a table in the wordpress database or do you seriously need it to create an external database somewhere else? What kind of data are you pulling in? Just a few options, large amounts of data, ...?

13,708 PointsHey Andrew, thanks for the response. It can be in the same database that wordpress is installed. It needs to store company names and their email. I want people to then be able to select or deselect companies (add to their profile) they want an email send to.
