[Building Sakai] Is anybody storing resource bodies in database?

[Alex Ballesté]

Hi,
In University of Lleida, the content body is stored in DB. We believed 
that it was a good strategy to centralize the data  in unique point  
(simplify backups, etc.. ) because we don't have a lot of data.. Now, 
after read your mail I see that we should have a bad idea.
We are using an Oracle 10g and we are running a sakai 2.5.3 in 
production. We migrated last december. Also we run script to convert 
content to BINARY_ENTITY style. We only have arround 60 Gb of data in 
content.

What do you recomend?

Thanks.
