The problem is not so much creating them but keeping track of them. Here is
a possible solution:
# a table of tables
db.define_table('meta_table',Field('name'),Field('fields','json'))
# for each table in meta_table define or create the table:
for table db(db.meta_table).select():
db.define_table(table.name,**[Field(item['name']) for item in
table.fields])
# make an action to populate the meta_table:
def create_table():
form = SQLFORM.factory(Field('name'),Field('fields','list:string'))
if form.process().accepted:
db.meta_table.insert(name=form.vars.name,fields=[{'name':name} for
name in form.vars.fields])
redirect(URL('somewhere'))
return dict(form=form)
This assumes all fields are string but you can easily change that. ;-)
