>>all your data is stored in one
location. This means if you move your app to your server, all the files go
with it.
1. you can also store all your images in one location, in some images
directory.
if this directory is inside your site -- which is better if you want
your images to be
viewable by browsers -- it will move with your application as well,
2. unless you store your images in an access DB, which is not even "not
recommanded",
but rather "retarded", you won't move your app by just moving some
files.
>>There's no point in putting static files/images that are part of the web
application itself--that would definitely add overhead you don't want.
Definitely.
>>There's also some maintenance advantages. If you need to remove files
because the data has been deleted, you don't need to delete data in two
places (database and file system) you can just delete it from the database.
Not really a big deal, and definitely not a good enough reason.
