Actually worse. How do you store a 120 MB include file. In the database itself or in a file with a pointer to the the filename in the database. "Blob" handling is a problem.
We have 2 GIG of data flat files with pointers kept in a SQL daatabase. Keeping the pointers consistent is a real problem.
Particularly if the files are created and maintained (drag and droppable) with windows.
