Storing SQL Queries for Reuse in Apps

Hello All, I just want to survey the list and see what kind of solutions people are using for the storage and reuse of SQL queries. Right now I am working on an application that has native SQL queries as well as custom queries that can be added by developers as they build on the framework. In the past I have done several things to store large sets of SQL queries. Some are better than others and some just shouldn't be used (hardcoded): - Hardcoded into the application (written into classes or procedural code as needed). - Stored in a delimited text file. - Placed into a function or class method using switch to iterate by category and ID. - Stored in an XML file. I am kind of leaning towards the XML solution since the native queries can then easily be updated for people using the application. Of course using XML adds execution time and complexity to the app. Anybody have any other solutions I haven't thought of or trick/tweaks to the ones I have listed? Thanks!
