Table row with text block...

How large is large? If you're talking a few MB or less I'd just keep it in the database. Keep things simple and not have to mess around with keeping external files in sync.

 

If you're using a TEXT type for the column then mysql will store it outside the primary data area so having a bunch of text in the database shouldn't affect performance much. Mysql won't be trying to access it unless you specifically request it.

 

If you're getting into the hundreds of MB or larger then it may be worth moving it out to a separate storage location to keep the overall DB size down so you can backup the database quicker and easier.
