I'm learning Rails, and the target of my experiments is to realize something similar to Zoho Creator, Flexlist or Mytaskhelper, i.e. an app where the user can create his own database schema and views. What's the best strategy to pursue this?

I saw something about the Entity-Attribute-Value but I'm not sure whether it's the best strategy or if there is some support in Rails for it.

If there was any tutorial in Rails about a similar project it would be great.

Probably it's not the easiest star for learning a new language and framework, but it would be something I really plan to do since a long time.
