 Other than a sharable set of routines, is there any reason for storing  form in the database? I had always thought so until a friendly oracle  consultant pointed out that it appears to be faster to load and save  *.inp forms than it is to save the forms in the tables.

 One of the advantegous, to this method is the amount of tablespace  stored while not actually working on a form. Inp files can be stored  via RCS and can be edited by your favorite editor (emacs, perl, or vi)

 The mind could boggle at the possiblities here.
