I have done this. There is no reason not to do so. By putting stylesheets in a database, you get the relatively more sophisticated security features of a database (as compared to a file system), and you get an easily-implemented and automatic versioning system controlled by stored procedures.

Subject:   storing xsl in database?

	
 Hi - 
 Some of my colleagues are considering putting in all xsl stylesheet into
database rather than a flat file.
 They want to read in a correct stylesheet on the fly and feed it into
transformer engine as a string.
 I think it is a bad idea, but can not come up with a good reason.
 Any of you tried to put xsl stylesheets in the database? any reason we
should or should not do it?
 Thanks
