    Can't tiki wiki use DDL to build databases instead of storing the data sequentially..

    Tiki trackers used to have a feature called Mirror Tables, it allowed you to create separate tables for individual trackers, instead of splitting up the fields in the tiki_tracker_item_fields table.
    http://doc.tiki.org/Mirror+Trackers
    I found creating separate tables very useful, plus I could write programs that just used the tracker table as a regular MySQL table. But the feature had bugs, lost support, and has been abandoned. (I don't remember if, as the term "mirror" in the feature title suggests, the data in the mirror table was also mirrored in tiki_tracker_item_fields table.)
