dbfiles is a plugin that enables storage of files to the MySQL database. Why store files in a database? Short answer: it is easier to handle file meta data. Some say that storing files in a db will degrade performance... They are right of course 🙂 The plugin is not intended to be used for ALL images etc on a site, only those downloadable (small) files that can belong to posts - example codelistings, images, sounds etc.
