Save Setting Value in Settings File or Database

Question

Where should I save the setting value like length of member code, separator for member code, in settings file or database? What is pros/cons? Thanks.

Answer 1

You should consider saving those details in setting files. You can use the scope as "user" so you will be able to modify these values at run time.
