Your opinion doesn't necessarily = good practice.

Storing data of this type in a database is not good practice, it should be
avoided at all costs...

I'm trying to do the same thing, with little success.  I can't get the
binary data inserted into SQL, however, I can use ToBase64() and insert
it, but that's not really what I want to do.

I am able to get binary data (jpgs) from a database, but I'm not able to
insert a binary file.

I hope someone can shed some light on this for us all.

Thanks

How do you add a file (e.g. PDF) to SQL Server as opposed to
creating a row that you convert to a URL that links to it.

I want to create an application that includes student dossiers
so I don't want them to be locatable or downloadable by anyone or
anything other than application users. Security is at application level
and managed by the application, not directory level.

Is this the best or recommended approach.
