Hi, I am not new to SQL but have a project coming up where we are storing MP3 files and letting users search, download and pay for them (in Thailand). I was going to store the files in BLOBS but was wondering how to just link to them and store them on a RAID 5 array and keep the music files outside of the database. I have not tried this before and was wondering how to do it in MS SQL.
Thanks many times

Hi,
This is Relatively easy and it is What I do for all of my Digital Media. I figure the SQL server is not a Fileserver so I would prefer to store the Files on my web or ftp server.
All you have to do is have a column in your database that has a string for the address of the file that you want to use then in your App use the string in the Href of the <A> tag
Hope that Helps
