title: Is it good to store long strings in a database?
body: <p>I need to store long strings in a database. the string may be 5 or 6 sentences long. do you think this is a good design strategy. or should I store an id for that string and then create a relationship with another table that contains the location of the file storing the string.
  could you please give advantages and disadvantages of both.</p>
  
  <p>the strings have been preprocessed and stored in the database. any modification would read the entire string and replace it completely. so you can assume that the string is indivisible.</p>
