There is no difference if you save simply all the data either in Database or List of tables in a excel sheet. But one advantage of storing all the data in the database is, any DBMS software can easily (of course it can take it from Excel sheet too) extract the data using SQL and it can easily provide the following functionality
1. Consistency of the Database
2. Durablily
3. Automicity
4. Isolate transaction execution
5. Data Security By giveing proper authorization.
But those things will be missed if you simply store the data in a Excell sheet or list. Those things should be taken care by a programmer by their code.

When it is more appropriate to use a file system rather than a database?
One answer is when you are dealing with image files like JPGs or PDFs. One mistake I see people making is storing image files within a database. That's a poor design. They bloat the database and can't be indexed. You should store the images in a file system and simply put ponters in the database.
