A while ago at our company, a request was made to me to create a separate instance of one of our webapplications for a select group of customers. In doing this, I had to create a separate instance of the backing database and copy over much of a preexisting version of the application's database which was simply configuration data.
It occurred to me today while working on another part of the application that I really should have separated the configuration from the data. The hard part about that is keeping security intermingled between data (for audit trailing) and keeping security intermingled with the configuration data (as part of configuration). I'm still searching for an answer to that one.
