I once worked for a company that had everything in the database. All static assets, all CSS, all HTML, entire CMS components. Oracle PL/SQL would dynamically generate the response and stream it back to Apache (mod_owa) for each client request.
Back when I was doing my webcomic, I had the "brilliant" idea of storing large PNGs as blobs in a table, then serving them as base64 data: URIs within the generated HTML.
Needless to say, I switched away from that when I started putting more thought into it. And when I stopped doing my webcomic, I turned it into a statically generated site that hasn't been updated in probably a decade.
