You call it "nice" to put *code* in a database? I would call it an ugly
hack.

I know, some products like vBulletin do this in production environments
- they put all their plugins and some other stuff in the database.

But this does not mean this is "nice" nor even something you want. Even
WordPress does not try to put code into the database ;-)

This is only a hack for situations where a plugin installer in the
administrative backend may not be able to write the files.

Some may this even call more "secure" since you can set the folder
permissions more restrictive. Some may call this more "comfortable"
since you don't need to give the web server permissions to write to the
document root. But in the end - it doesn't matter if an attacker is able
to overwrite files or overwrite database content, and securing the
database is not as easy as protecting the filesystem.
