I would actually have to agree with Flanigan - a managed system would be the better way to go.
But I don't even think a database solution is structured enough to handle a task as serious as storing config data - you'll need real people with real skills for this job. I suggest opening a small office away from the city manned by 2-3 of the best developers. The application would request config data by sending emails to the appropriate person, and that person would in turn phone the response back to the system. Here's the break-down: 1. Application requests a DSN: getDSN() 2. The getDSN() method sends an email to the config team asking for the DSN 2. Config Team receives request and looks up the DSN 3. Config team calls a special phone number and, using touch-tone, types the DSN into their phone 4. Their response gets translated and sent to Coldfusion 5. A listener CFC receives the information and sets the DSN appropriately 6. Application continues on No fuss, no worries. Using this system you remove stress from the application and DBMS while HARNESSING the power of gateways. You can finally say goodbye to that 512mb RAM upgrade you were thinking about.
