Episode synopsis

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