I just read this: (it claims you can move wooCommerce meta to a custom table)
https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/mb-custom-table/

I like the fact that it’s possible to do. I am wondering if anyone has a step-by-step guide on making this happen? I have wooCommerce (just installed), and need to move this metadata to its own custom table.

Any help (write-up / instructions / guide) would be welcomed.

Thanks

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us. Hope you are well today.

The extension MB Custom Table helps you to create a custom table and support to save the post meta (fields) which is created by Meta Box easily.
https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/mb-custom-table/#using-custom-tables

And you can also save any post meta to the custom table but WooCommerce or other plugins have its own procedure to save its own meta to the database. For example, WooCommerce saves the product meta SKU, Price, Stock Quantity … to the table wc_product_meta_lookup

So if you want to save this meta of Product, you should create action and fire when WooCommerce saves the meta and save it to the custom table.

Here are some guides for you
