How to execute SQL database with chrome extension?

Question

I have a react app with a connected SQL database running on local host, this works fine. I have now moved my react app into a chrome extension, which also works fine with my database.

My problem is that every time I open the chrome up app I need to run npm run devStart in the console of my SQL server so that the app is able to send and get data.

Is there a way I can automatically start the SQL server when I use the chrome app?
