Actually, putting all the files in the SQL or Oracle DB is exactly where the world is headed.  The next version of Windows Server (after the 2003 version that comes out in 7 weeks) will use MSSQL Server for it's file system.  Oracle already has a bunch of products based on using the DB as your file system, including an explorer interface, etc... 
 
We haven't looked at this since CFMX, but storing the files in the DB in CF 4.x/5.x was a real pain.  ASP/ASP.NET have a lot more finite control over this.
