I would like to know what do you think about storing chat messages in a database?

I need to be able to bind other stuff to them (like files, or contacts) and using a database is the best way I see for now.

The same question comes for files, because they can be bound to chat messages, I have to store them in the database too..

With thousands of messages and files I wonder about performance drops and database size.

What do you think considering I'm using PHP with MySQL/Doctrine?
