I do not have to keep file system and database in sync. That makes it easier to test the application. Yes, I think it is slower to access the files via DB (I haven't done any benchmarks). If it becomes an issue, I have to change it. But I am confident it is not necessary. The reason I store files in the database is simple: it is easier.

But still, thank you for the information in case I ever need to store files in the database. I agree with Felix and am wondering about your reasons behind this decision.

I've heard of people doing it before but I always thought that a database is a bottleneck for this kind of operation. Because very often the database connection is established through a tcp/ip connection which is way slower then accessing the hard drive directly. So I try to store my files locally whenever possible. Any reasons why you want them in the db? Well, I’ve never worked with Blobs before, but I don’t know why you would use them to store actual *files* in a database?
