 * Hi [@mbabin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbabin/) ,
 * Thank you for reaching out.
 * I have not been able to reproduce this issue in my testing environment, but this
   sounds like an issue when the plugin tried to interact with your WordPress database,
   which tells me that there’s likely a database user restriction in place (i.e.,
   the database user associated with your WordPress environment cannot create tables).
 * There’s likely a database error that occurred when this PHP error was thrown 
   out, I would recommend inspecting your database error logs for insights and possibly
   fix the restriction or user privilege setting on your database.
