Large Text and Images In SQL

Question

Is it a good idea to store large amounts of text (eg html pages) inside your SQL database? Or is it a better idea to store it as html files in the filesystem?

Answer 1

I think you could argue either side, but I come down on the side of large amount of text is OK (and thus becomes searchable), but images should be stored as separate files with links in the database. I have never come up with any compelling reason to store images in the database, even though its possible.
