Whole site in MySQL db's?

[verdus]

I posted this question in the PHP forum, but i think this is the right place.
I know a little PHP/MySQL. I've done image galleries, basic search scripts, news modules on small to medium websites.
Now I need to develope a website with a complex structure tree, with a lot of static pages, but still I have to put news, articles, search, etc.
My question is:
Should I put all contents in MySQL db's, so I could search easily, update, link the site sections with related news,etc?
Or should I separate the static contents in HTML pages and leave the db's just for dynamic content? If I do this, how can I search thru this pages?

Thank you!

Put it all in the DB. This has severel benefits, and unless your site exceeds abotu 10GB of data, not many bad things...

1) Easy to structure/restructure the site whenever desired
2) Easy to controll access to content based on login, date, etc
3) Same interface for creating/editing all the site's content

The list goes on an on...

Yeah, I agree -- don't BLOB the images... It's so incredible to me that people would actually do it that I forget to mention that... nice catch r937!

Thank you guys.
Yes, I've decided to put everything in the DB. Working this way, creating the structure of the site is so intuitive. I'd recommend it to anyone who is beginning a site from scratch.
I won't BLOB the images, i will use URLs to do it.
As i said in the first post, i asked this same question on the PHP forum. If someone is interested, this can be viewed here: http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?t=231744
