Interesting article. I will have to look into it more.
We took a slightly different approach. We are using the
Configuration Block. Since another group owns the
credentials for the connection strings to production
databases, we just agreed on the keys to use to get into
the block. The operations group controls where the data
is actually stored and the underlying values.
But I will have to look at this. It looks like something
I will have to keep in my backpocket for later use.
