 * When I upload media, the details of the image are inserted in the mysql table
   with the posts. Wouldn’t better to have a new table in mysql just for the uploads?

 * Let me use my site for a few examples:
 *  [http://guff.szub.net/2006/01/29/woof/fire-dog](http://guff.szub.net/2006/01/29/woof/fire-dog)
 * That’s an attachment (i.e. upload) on the post “Woof.” If I wanted to, I could
   have allowed commenting to it, etc. like this:
 *  [http://szub.net/visuals/wallpapers/divergent-cartography/](http://szub.net/visuals/wallpapers/divergent-cartography/)
 * Although it may *appear* like a normal post, that too is just a file attachment(
   to my ‘Wallpapers’ Page).
 * Your point is valid, and I could probably come up with a few arguments for how
   attachments might benefit from their own table. But there are some interesting
   side effects to treating file attachments as post-like objects in WordPress.

 * ok, thanks for your reply i understand your point of view now. You are right 
   now that I think wordpress is for blogging, if I would like a more specialized
   approach for medias I could use a gallery and integrate them.
