There are known instances of what I described happening. I'm not claiming it's common. It's *more* common than a single corrupt file in the file system trashing the entire file system, taking all your data with it. What exactly does storing the binary file in SQL get you? Does your SQL search through the binary data doing a face-recognition match in some customer MySQL library code to find criminals by facial features?
