Re: CMS tutorials

JC,

I'd also recommend to store binary objects as BLOBs in the database, 
although I have not seen any RDBMS handling them well either.
Storing them in the filesystem often does not work under certain 
circumstances: Just keep redundancy and cluster environments in mind... 
It is much easier to mirror and backup a database than a filesystem - 
not only for security reasons. Implementing an RDBMS/CMS into an 
existing cluster environment whereas binary objects are being stored in 
the filesystem can be a non-trivial job.
