That's a design question. Maybe it's better for you to do your config
in the database. I usually find that these config files include
database credentials (server, port, user name, password), so they have
to be (a) outside the database, (b) outside source control, and (c)
separately configurable for test and production systems, even if they
run on the exact same hardware. So for those situations, it makes more
sense to have them in a script or INI file, rather than the database.
Your situation may well be completely different.
