I've seen that route before and I have to say that I would be strongly against 
that. The only saving grace could be multi-db which could allow you to have a 
specific settings database that's separate from the core. 

Having data and settings intermingled in the same area just causes too many 
problems. Further, it detracts from the ability to run the project without the 
database around. In the scenario of a larger environment with more delineation 
of roles, it may not be possible.
