I was going to reply the same: you can, but you probably shouldn't. Databases aren't built for speed. They are built for robustness: Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability (ACID). If that's what you need, then you should use a database. Otherwise just use the filesystem. It's designed to be able to return you your data as fast as possible. If you need even more speed, then distribute your data to a Content Delivery Network (CDN) so it's closer to your users. (I think the previous answerer meant to use the term CMS (Content Management System) where they used CDN).
