Thanks a lot for your help.
In my humble opinion, not having the time to move the file server implementation would be my only argument here. From the small description you gave, it really seems as using the database was overkill, only adding unnecessary complexity to the system.
And as a general principle, I don't lie to my customer.
But I am curious:
What are your time pressures? Why did you start with a database? And where does the requirement to move to a file server come from?
