There are many. It allows you to share data between user accounts (IMHO it doesn't make much sense to have separate bayes databases for each account, at least they are of a 'massive' sort and users are not allowed to feed their own spam/ham etc. - because they share mostly the same data and the bayes is more up-to-date if one single database autolearns from many mailboxes). It allows you to share data among several hosts. It allows you to keep data on a remote host if you don't have enough space. Etc.
Perhaps if you are a single user on your machine, converting to sql storage is not worth any time spent to do this, but in a more complex enviroment it simplifies several issues.
