Perhaps that is true in the majority of cases, but there are
exceptions. I can think of a couple of instances where one might need
to do it:
1) A general database exploration or visualization application, or

2) Where one needs to perform a similar operation on several different
tables. In a current case of mine, I'm converting from several
externally provided tab-delimited tables to an in-memory sqlite
database. Most of my app is tied closely to the model, and needs no
such dynamicity. However, I want to automate the conversion, so I
don't have to write 20 or so similar functions.
