Why would you not have the articles themselves in the
database? I mean storage space wise it makes sense to
keep them there, in terms of accessing the article
itself it makes sense (its faster to acces it from a
database, rather than to get the referral from the
database to an individual file), and it would be
easier to update in the database (you would look up
the article then change it, instead of looking up its
referring point in the db then finding the article
itself and changing that).
I don't quite understand what advantages there are to
a database and a large collection of files, over a
simple database.
