I can't see it having much performance benefit, as DaWei says, nor any security benefit. The only reason you'd do something like this is out of necessity, for instance, if your web host doesn't provide any databases that you can use directly.

But yes, the only other way to do it is to populate a file of some kind. Perhaps a file that has some SQL in it so you can run it directly against your database.
