用于图像和文档的SQL列的哪种数据类型

Question

What data type should be use for files such as:

doc, xls, jpg, png, dwg

With a size of between 0.1 to 10 MB what should be?

Varbinary (x)
Varbinary (max)
Image

Answer 1

I would recommend you to use varbinary(max) for every file

In SQL 2012 you might use image but it wouldn't be supported in next generations of SQL Servers.

Varbinary (x) will be useful for avoiding storing larger files than desired.
