So are we talking about putting everything into the database - i.e. login
forms, search forms, plain text content with HTML formatting, etc.???

Jeff, 

We do it for ease of maintainability.  By using a db, we can maintain
content through a web-based admin module we designed.  However, we are a
relatively small company and I am only working on our Intranet, so
bandwidth/hits on db issues are not issues for me.

Subject: Static vs. Dynamic Content?



Moving this to a new thread ... what are the good vs. bad points of moving
all static content to a database?  For example, if I wanted to provide a
contact page - the way I have been doing it would be to just hard-code the
contact information into HTML in the display fuse.  I would have a
home.contact fuseaction that only had this one display fuse - that way I
could make use of nested layouts etc.  This contact information is not
something that would change frequently, so why waste the
bandwidth/processing time to make a hit on the database?

Recent discussions (see Indexing a FuseBox Site thread) seem to point
towards people storing all of their content in the database.  I would like
to hear some discussion as to why you would want to do that (other than
making it easy to search)?

Thanks
