Hi!

Can anyone tell me if there's a simple way to
store doc and xls files in MS SQL. I've read
somethig about BLOB's. The problem is
I want to edit them and then save back to the DB.
Env. - MSSQL + A2K + WINXP

TIA :]

Regards, Leon!

Unless you have a very special reason, you are going to see better
performance if you store the files in the file system and use the db to
store location and other metadata about the files. The file system is
optimized for this, a relational db is not.

Hi

You may want to look at the bii and textcopy examples. Also there are plenty
of postings available if you use these as keywords to search google.
