my BLOB's are mainly PDF files (all stored in one single db, that stores nothing else) that once they are in the db never change. I receive a lot of research from investment banks. To make my life easier I store this in a db, grant access to whoever of senior management is interested in, have some asp pages to access and that's it.

I thought someone came up with arguments about losing performance, a db isn't supposed to do things the filesystem can handle more efficiently....and arguments like that.

Glad to see noone mentioned that!

Cheers,
