I believe that Mephisto uses the acts_as_attachment plugin (which works *great* by the way), and you can set this plugin to store attachments in either the file system or in the database. While waiting for a real solution for the images issue in Radiant, I hacked together a rich text version of Radiant using this plugin. My client has been using it for 2 months now without a single problem.
