As our ERP system grew, which is written in house (previously with the lead developer and me but now solely by me) we decided to split the different areas of the ERP into separate applications in order to make development/maintenance easier(the users did not appear to mind).

From the very early days I started shifting hard-coded lists, within the UI code, out into the back-end database. I have also written some tools to help me administer this database.
In practise what this means is that I can make quick changes to lists within applications without having to roll out new releases to users.

The example I gave above is an over-simplified version of what I have built.
The reference table, for lists, also allows stored procedures to be used for populating lists(with parameters being supplied from the client side) and even allows cascading dropdown design (e.g. country and state dropdowns).

This has made my life so much easier, so I can concentrate on developing new features rather than spending hours on amending the contents of dropdowns.
