Don't put your code in the database! You will regret it!

I used to have to use this horrible tool called the Illustra Web Datablade. It kept all the code in a database table. As a result, I had to edit the code in a browser text area! This is about as painful as editing gets.

My advice is to avoid storing anything you will need to edit with a decent editor in the database. Put it in the file system instead.
