SQL Server 2008 - Reading FileStream Data

Posted: 19/12/2007 by Mike Taulty

If you experience any technical difficulties viewing this video please email us at ukmsdn@microsoft.com.

Overview

SQL Server 2008 has a new extension to the varbinary(max) datatype which allows you to store arbitrary large blobs "in the database" from the perspective of data access and backup but the actual data is stored in the filesystem.

In this session we take a look at how we can use FileStream and access it (for read-only) from the client side.

In a subsequent video, we'll take a look at write access.
