I just don't like to have useless tables hanging around in my DB. It's an habit. I use most of the time one DB per application and I end up with too many tables.

If that's the plan, I don't see why getting rid of unused tables would make a problem. Upon upgrades, users could easily create the needed tables without changing the existing ones. I just don't see why one would need a 'level' or 'language' table if one don't use them. >> I am waiting for a light version release before using it in production (with >> a frontend :)). > > DB_Medium is currently in the works thanks to Arnaud.
