I think its more accurate to say mixing meta and binary data in the same 
MySQL table is not a good idea.

Storing binary data in a separate table (and even database) from meta 
data minimizes the binary data's performance impact and allows one to 
use MySQL to manage referential integrity across the meta and binary 
data.
