This is a slightly OT question and I know it has been debated before but we have a client that is intent on having us store all their files in a DB and I can not for the life of me come up with any good reason to do that. So I would like to ask the community to help me out here:
What are the Pros and Cons of storing files as BLOBs? And What are the Pros and Cons of storing files in the file system with the names stored in the DB? Files can be of any MIME type and of various sizes. Any assistance with this will be greatly appreciated.
