Using a database to store data is preferred in below scenarios

  1. When data to be stored is huge and/or is growing rapidly
  2. When there are concurrent connections trying to perform DML operations on the data(Insert/Update/Delete)
  3. When you want to apply some kind of security on the data to determine which data should be accessible to whom
  4. Whenever you want to bring in some reliability in your results even in case of any intermediate failures like power outage etc
