Actually, your method looks quite effective and relatively simple.
However, you may want to reconsider this method of storing values in
the database. What I do is create a table called global_admin:
CREATE TABLE global_admin (
value_name VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
value_format VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
admin_value TEXT NULL
);
And then I can store all of my random, persistent setting data in one
table:
value_name value_format admin_value
'Coporation' 'Text' 'Lugini Corp., Inc.'
'Home Town' 'Text' 'Singapore'
'Timeout Interval' 'Interval' '30 minutes'
'Max Reports' 'Integer' '5'
etc.
