Yes. If I recall, we were doing both OpenSim.ini and Regions.ini from a sql backed php script, but we had trouble with processes starting up regionless, despite multiple configuration attempts to stop that behavior.

I'm surprised that you were having issues with it as Avination
doesn't use flat files at all, we web-load all configuration always
and had zero failures doing that.
Our configuration source is database tables and XML is produced on
the fly using PHP scripts. Works perfectly every time.

On MOSES, we had been loading the configuration files across the network
1-2 years back.  However, it was unreliable (failing to load the url for
unknown reasons), and sometimes did not behave as expected (some values
did not appear to be respected).  The functionality appears to be rarely
used by other grids, so the testing is low.  We now have a monitoring
process on our region host that pulls the remote config from the url,
and then writes the expected OpenSim.ini file before starting
OpenSim.exe.  The reliability and behaviour improved when we made the
switch.

Question:

would it possible to load region information/data from online (grid mode
only of cource)  when setting up a "clean" instance (new database)

opensim.ini:
     ;# {regionload_webserver_url} {region_info_source} {URL to load
region from?} {}
     ;; Determines the page from which regions xml is retrieved if you are
     ;; loading these from the web.
     ;; The XML here has the same format as it does on the filesystem
     ;; (including the <Root> tag), except that everything is also enclosed
     ;; in a <Regions> tag.
      ; regionload_webserver_url = "http://example.com/regions.xml";;

..

maybe experiment with this..??
