Hi Hatem.  This issue has been discussed several times in this list
(this is the famous ``VLTable`` affair ;):

http://www.mail-archive.com/pytables-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00555.html
http://www.mail-archive.com/pytables-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00156.html
http://www.mail-archive.com/pytables-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00084.html
http://www.mail-archive.com/pytables-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00077.html

In short: for the time being, you can use a separate ``VLArray`` with
matching row numbers, or a wide enough string field (for strings, of
course), and avoid some overhead by using compression.

As a side note, columnwise tables may also do the trick, but PyTables
doesn't support them yet.

HTH,
