A change in the code to only require one change in a source code file for an 
added column in the database is a big plus. 

This way you get the documentation, the necessary data structures and so on 
correct without the possibility to forget something - less bugs, no 
repetitive coding. 

A small disadvantage is that it is quite uncommon to have typical source code 
files autogenerated from xml. An extra warning ("Do not edit this file, 
edit ... instead and generate this file with blablubb") should be included in 
all autogenerated files, especially if they have a common ending like .h 
or .c.
