Dynamic surveys

Hello!

I'm trying to implement a online application to generate online dynamic surveys. Like a CMS, the admin will be able to choose the number of questions and for each qüestion the data type, restrictions, etc using a web GUI. This is not a problem, even the storage of the survey structure.

The problem is how to store the user's answers. My first approach is to create a table for each survey, with the proper structure. This seems a good solution because not only both table design and the data storage are optimal but also it is possible to search and summarize using SQL.
But I'm not sure if this is the optimal solution. If the number of surveys increases, the DB will be full of tables and perhaps the performance will degrade. However, I'm not able to find another suitable solution.

Do you have any suggestion?

Thank you!
