We use the second model mentioned above. Use the database to store paths
and file names, attributes and details of the files, but store the files on
the file-system.
Makes queries and searches simple (database calls), and only pull the data
fromt he file when needed.
The fact that the files happen to be gzipped to save disk usage is just a
side note..
