Creating tables dynamically at runtime

Question

Is creating a table dynamically at runtime based on a user\'s interactions a good or bad thing for a web-app? (I\'m talking java, but question probably applies to more).

Answer 1

In general no, it's not a good idea. Normally whatever they would be creating would be records within a table.

But there are exceptions, for example if you are creating a hosting account for them, with the tables that they will then use personally.

Without giving more detail on your situation I can not give a better answer than that.
