bruno, help me out here.  are you saying that a table
in the db should have columns for table, column name
and field type (same as data type, right?)?

Would the layout look as follows?

Table: t_form

Columns: table, column, data_type

Sample Entry: customer, customer_name, varchar
Sample Entry: customer, customer_phone, varchar

tia...
