I'd like to learn more about storing XML in the database myself. I really
haven't had much experience there so I couldn't say if it is beneficial or not.
I started out as a database developer so I tend to rely heavily on the
database for a number of things, system prefs being one of those things.
Oracle( as I'm sure other vendors do as well) uses 'codelist' tables for
storing a great deal of application metadata and I've always liked that
approach.
As I said, I wrote/am still writing a system where I define codelists that
define different preferences ('show_x', 'hide_a'). A user preferences table
contains user_id, but also columns name and value which would include
'show_x'/'true', 'hide_a'/'false').

I forgot to mention:
1) I cannot use Xindice since I do not feel it is
viable.
2) I expect to have thousands of users with a moderate
load.
3) I am leaning towards Michael's suggestion:

Comment appreciated :)
Thanks again, Julian
