Integrity - you may trash your "database" via a fatfingers (or late night) typo, very easy to do if you delete where you should have inserted.
I've heard so many horror stories about late night mistakes like forgetting about WHERE part of UPDATE or DELETE queries that I don't think that SQL database is any safer than filesystem in this respect. In reallity no matter what database backend you use backups are must have for important data. The latest stable release doesnt support transactions Not true (for quite long time) with InnoDB table type which is part of source MySQL distro and part of MySQL-Max binary distro.
