I would say that the biggest pluses to this are
1. Security
A. DOM Objects are usually just text files, so they can be found
on the network and read/modified with out any security
B. Since they are in the database you can make them available to
the internet without exposing them to BOTs that catalog all files they
can under you Web Site folder and make the accessible without your
realizing
2. Management
A. Central Management of Storage, reduced possibility of files
spread throughout network
B. Control who can see and change
C. Version control
Draw Back
1. Need a DBMS that can handle large database sizes
2. Central point of failure

Subject: Witango-Talk: Dom object stored in DB column
At the conference, someone demonstrated using a Dom stored in a column
and
did a search for records based on an element value. What is the
advantages/disadvantages to using this technique?
Opinions?
