Advantages of interface metadata in a database?

I guess it would be an advantage if you wanted to be able to modify those things without re-compiling. It may also allow you to avoid forking the source and then having to maintain both variants. Maybe the developer was thinking about internationalization, which certainly affects labels and may also (as a consequence) affect size and position too.

In principle, you just need to swap in new table contents you're ready for a different language.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
