ABSTRACT:
Large, unstructured objects can be manipulated within a relational database management system (RDBMS). A “filestream” data storage attribute is provided that can be used to tag a column in a relational table. The filestream attribute identifies the data for that column will be stored as a file in the file system in the operating system. The RDBMS manages the creation and deletion of the file in the file system. There is a 1:1 reference between the file in the file system and a cell (intersection of row and column). The data in the filestream column can be manipulated the same way as the data in other columns using a programming language, such as SQL or MICROSOFT®'s T-SQL.
