Perhaps the problem is that you are trying to destroy the very
foundation of RDBMS by mixing data and metadata in the schema?

Let's get back to the basics of an RDBMS. Rows are not records; fields
are not columns; tables are not files. You use the wrong words BECAUSE
you have the wrong mental model.

Read a book that will teach you about normalization, RDBMS, and data
modeling. You are not going to get this in a Newsgroup -- you need a
year or more of education.
