I would avoid this approach. The tendency is to put all those script snippets in a db and then you lose source control, versioning and testing.

Fair enough. They best store them in a separate git repo or wherever. Updated my answer to say that snippets should ideally be under version control.

Could they be stored in something like a properties file? I'm trying to avoid having fixed Customer properties exist in more than one location, otherwise it's easy to devolve into unmaintainable spaghetti.
