Guys,
Filestream in SQL Swerver 2008 means that these files could be part of the database (for backup and transactions) but remain as physicakl files (for streaming for example).

It’s very possible that image data could be directly stored in the SQL database — would make sense, architecturally. I’ve seen it done before.

Surely you don’t think this SQL database will be in the petabyte range. The image data may very well reach a petabyte or more, but the SQL database itself should be quite small.
SQL tables will not be storing images but rather image related data.
