Hi,

I want to implement a data-driven approach of defining properties of various CursorAdapter objects in my application. So I need to store the values of the column names, types, etc. etc. in meta table(s). I am considering 3 options for meta data:

1. .DBF files (even though the application work with SQL Server database)
2. XML files
3. Table(s) in SQL Server.

Which one of the above you (collectively) would use? TIA.
