Storing values of package variables in user table in any database

  • Is it a good practice or not instead of using configs/xml/text/etc.  just
    create 1 table somewhere with columns like 
    VarName, VarValue, PackageName, VarScope, IsProduction, ... etc.
    and then retrieve them via a simple executeSQL task at the start of the package?

    I am not finding anything on the internet about such simple and straightforward way of saving runtime variables outside the package.

    If someone has an opinion on that please share.
    Thank you.

    As always, it depends!

    Suggest you search for "SSIS configurations in a database", plenty of material out there. Further, SSIS has the option of storing configurations in the SSIS database.
