Interesting. We built a couple of systems many years ago using SQLite as the storage engine for binary files - one was a kind of mini version control utility for storing report files for a legacy ERP system. I always thought that the SQLite system was far quicker to search and retrieve files from the dataset than it was doing so in our previous version, using hierarchical file folders. Interestingly, we canned the project because the ERP vendor themselves release a similar tool using - wait for it - individual files in a folder system... (Addendum - much later on they switched to - wait for it - CVS for version control.... in 2010!!)
