I’m intrigued!
Honestly, I was looking at https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=22343 <https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=22343m> and I was thinking that it was too bad we didn’t have a more generalizable CRUD setup. Using that “configurations” table could make that a lot easier. I’m not 100% sure what I thought about the db schema design. It doesn’t seem like there is any way to group configuration rows together, so I’m guessing for anything multi-value (like SMTP servers or Z39.50 servers), you’d be storing some JSON as the value?

It can be easily extended with new constraints as well. Hi all, I wanted to highlight bug 26129 [1] which proposes to add a new table, for storing configuration entries. It differs from the systempreferences table basically on the ability to set values with per-library, per-item type and per-category basis, as well as default catch-all. It is the result of noticing that the smtp_servers table I was going to add on bug 22343 [2], could be easily generalized and could become useful. If someone is willing to do it, we could migrate systempreferences into this new table, but that definitely deserves more thinking. The SMTP configuration page won't live in the sysprefs page, and so a way to differentiate them could be added. One sample use of this configurations table, could be moving z39.50 servers there.
