I recently heard from Josh Berkus that at least one major CMS
application uses Postgres to store entire HTML pages (including image
files) in order to support full versioning.
As a general rule, I prefer not to store BLOBS in a DB- I'd rather
leave the BLOB in the file system and let the db save only a pointer
to it. However, if you need to store BLOBs in a database, Postgres is
one of the better platforms for it.
