Configuration Application Block - SQL versus XML

When using the configuration application block what are the pros and
cons of using a SQL configuration provider as opposed to an XML file
configuration provider. In what situations sould you use one over the
other.

Any information or current documentation on the matter would be
greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Steve
