Hi!  
If I add some code that uses ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute  
method to create and remove a table respectively on each install and  
uninstall in the install.rb and uninstall.rb of a plugin that I am  
writing for myself, then would it work?

there’s a rails db:create that I’ve seen floating around. Not sure if  
you can call things similarly in install.rb or not.
