But hasn't this gone around the list a dozen times and, while either will work, isn't the general feelign that the best idea is to keep those big files (pictures, documents, music, movies, ...) out on the filesystem rather than inside the database? Sure, small data (comments, for instance, as you'll have noted) is great in the DB, but stuff as big as that just clogs up the DB and requires an extra export step to get out anyway. Um, right? Besides, this way I can leave the quota restrictions to the OS :-) % % > My real question comes down to table layout.

Unless you want to give each customers % its own _database_ (not just tables in the same database). I don't nkow that I want to do that, though that's an interesting idea that hadn't occurred to me.
