I am glad you asked that. I think for my application, I am going to set up a blank set of tables in the database, and as a new user subscribes, simply move the blank database into their personal directory, that way I can keep all of their data segregated from other users. It may take addition physical disk space, but it would simplify my management dramatically.
Thank you for that question.
