 Q1264. What are the advantages disadvantages of keeping config entries in database instead of property file and vice versa ?Design
Ans. Entries in DB will be retrieved at runtime unless a cache is maintained in application. Entries in File will be loaded to memory by default. Both can be implemented in 1 manner or other. By default property file will take space in memory, will be faster, and will require application restart on change. By Default DB config will be pulled at runtime, will be little slower, and doesn't require an application restart.
