I'm sure there have been bugs, but the only real problem I can think of with the way SP stores files in SQL has to do with accessing them via IIS--there are hard limits to the file sizes you can use. -----Original Message----- From: Sam Cayze [mailto:sca...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, August 05, 2011 11:08 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: SQL for File Storage? Yes, I think there were problems though, and iirc MS is trying to move away from that. To 'BLOBS' or something. Some sort of external SQL storage mechanism. -----Original Message----- From: Tigran K [mailto:tigr...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, August 05, 2011 1:01 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: SQL for File Storage?
