I have no web site for this but here is a begining list for you:

Pros:
  1. Relational in Nature.  
  2. You can access it from any location on your network with a multiple of
programs.  These can range from Excell, Word, SQL Plus, Toad, etc. etc. etc.
  3. Multiple people adding, deleting, changing, looking at at the same
time. (i.e. Locking).
  
Cons:
  1. Expensive
  2. Support needed to maintain.
  3. Expensive

And I am sure the rest on this site have more.

Hi all,
We are proposing a project to convert applications that use flat files to
Oracle databases. An essential piece of this proposal is to present to the
management the advantages of databases over flat files. Are there any
websites, whitepapers that talk about this? I know this probably is a
no-brainer for most of you but we just want to have all of our ducks in a
row so that we can make a strong case.
TIA
