Is it easy to store phots and PDFs in SQL Server?

Is it easy to store and retrive photos and PDFs in SQL Server? Is any
programming involved or is it transparent to the user?
Thank You,

wawork@.hotmail.comThere are SQL data types that allow storing such data - binary, varbinary
and image. But it's not very efficient - much more efficient to store the
paths to the actual files and retrieve them via code. Not sure what you mean
by "Is any
programming involved or is it transparent to the user?". There is always
*some* programming involved...
