I don't agree with that for a couple of reasons. One) redundant data; 
Two) what path? The path you're using today or the one you change to 
later?

I think it is far better practice to just store the names in the dB 
and then to provide the path as needed. That way you can move your dB 
and files anywhere you want without having to rewrite the paths in 
your dB -- and you don't have that redundant path to the file name 
appearing throughout your data.

Cheers,
