Database or configuration file?

Dear all,

I am building an application whcihc requires different set
of parametes in order to work and get configured
correctly. Those configuration parameters can be global to
all modules of that application or can be module dependant.

A kind of configuration could be a list of authorised user
that can access to different part of the application,
which mean that is is like a kind of indivudual user
profiles with all seetings and user right access.

At first I was thinking of a configuration database for
all of my components, but now I am hesisate between that
solution and individula configuration files.

Which solution will you choos for helping me?

thanks for your commnents

If these values are fairly static and won't be updated from by your program
then a configuration file is probably best.
Otherwise a database is a good choice.

Dear all, Here is the first installment concerning ATA disks and RAID controller use in a database server. I happened to have a Solaris system to myself this week, so took the opportunity to use it as a "control". In this post I used the ATA RAID controller merely to enable UDMA 133 for an oldish x86 machine, the effect of any actual RAID level will (hopefully) be examined subsequently.

I have experienced a problem here while doing a form for accessing datadbase using MS Access. I'm using the AccessDataSource control, and using Gridview to pull the data from the database.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
