Large Text and Images In SQL

Question

Is it a good idea to store large amounts of text (eg html pages) inside your SQL database? Or is it a better idea to store it as html files in the filesystem?

Answer 1

The more you put in, the more you will be moving around so the more overhead you will be creating.

If you have a great web server, no point in adding all of the extra stress to the database for no reason when you can delegate all of that stress to the web server.

Even from a maintenance point of view, it is a lot easier to move around and work with the files in a nice logical structure rather then constantly working with the database.
