Hi ,
I want to store large files in a table.I am using SQLserver 2000
and working on vb.net . Should i pass file contents as input variables to the stored procedure or my stored procedure should
read the file content itself before inserting the data inside the table.
Files are both text file as well as XML.
Let me know which approach is more feasible and how do it.
Later i also need to read contents of the file from the table.

Regards,
Vikram

storing large files is better in the file system server and saving only the path in the sql server.
if you must store files in your table use image datatype.
