I don’t understand why wordpress stores that kind of data: posts’ content and pages’ content, directly within the database instead of storing it in the filesystem and referencing them in the database with an URL/path. Could someone please explain it to me?
–EDIT
As far as I know storing raw images in within the database is a bad practice since it increments considerably the size of the DB unneededly, and that’s fine because images aren’t stored within the database (i think), so my question is about “Why text isn’t treated the same way?” and “If you have a large amount of huge posts wouldn’t it somehow encounter the limits of the database sooner or later?”
