Chris,
So this person thinks that the use cases will be nailed down up front? For some probably strange reason I find that to be quite funny.

If we idealize the problem and assume away all of the other details it really is just that simple.
Just have a "database" for each use case and when new use cases develop write some interface between the data stored for each of the use cases. Each can reside in memory only.
Brilliant!

I think that it will only require one table with 1023 columns each with datatype anydata. That way it will be flexible. And it will only require one sequence.
