As other people have pointed out, storing files inside of the database
does not make his files more secure.  In fact, I would argue that it
creates additional security flaws - if you accidentally introduce an
opportunity for an SQL injection attack, someone could potentially
access anything in your DB via the web.

I'm not sure how you can allow the web server access to the files
without also granting access to anyone with root on the machine, but
there's got to be a better way than dropping them all in the DB.
