I don't know if it is strange or not, but it came to me as a natural
choice for my application.
Think of a logging application where some variables need to be logged
and we need a table for
each variable holding a great number of "timestamp - value" entries.
The thing is we don't know beforehand which variables we need to log,
but the app user specifies that dynamicaly. These variables
could be hundreds or even thousands so it doesn't make sense to create
a table at the beginning
for each and every one of them. I want to be able to create a new table
at runtime as soon as a new
variable is selected for logging.
