SQL 2008

  • hi,

    Is it possible to add a FileStream for a column in a table which has a int data type with primary Key constraints as another column.

  • Filestream requires that there's a column in the table or type ROWGUIDCOL. The rest of the table (as far as I know) doesn't matter.

  • I've only started testing filestream but, other than what Gail has already outlined, there are no other restrictions on columns in the table. That's a big part of the idea behind it. You treat the column that is using the file system through the filestream just like any other column. The rest of the table largely doesn't matter (so far).
