Actually, I wonder...

... my setup is pretty standard, i.e.

- DBTables are represented by rows in one DB table, say, T_TABLE
- all DBRecords of all tables are represented by rows in another DB table, 
T_RECORD, with a foreign key into T_TABLE.

Therefore, whenever DBTable records are used anyhow, *always* the huge T_RECORD 
table is filtered by the desired foreign key. Of course there is an index on 
that column, but since the table contains zillions of records, it is still 
somewhat at the slow side.

Conceptually, it would make much better sense to have a separate database table 
for records of each T_TABLE row: almost all operations need just records of one 
table; there is a very little or nothing to do over records of more different 
tables at once. Database-level, I can pretty well imagine something like many 
tables named T_RECORD_X where X would be e.g., the primary key of each 
T_TABLE_ROW. Nevertheless, I can see absolutely no reasonable way of 
EOmodelling such a thing? (Note that _tables_ -- not just rows -- would have to 
be added/removed to/from the schema on-the-fly, as users create/delete tables. 
Table creation/deletion _can_ be slow though; we need table processing to be 
fast.)

Are there some well-tested tricks for such cases?

Thanks again,
OC
