Storing a PDF File as an Image?
I'm saving a PDF file in a SQL Server DB. The column in the Table is defined as varbinary(MAX). I was wondering if the PDF can be stored as an Image DataType? If so, which is more efficient to do? Is there a better way altogether?
If you could provide a code example in VB.Net, I would appreciate it!
Thanks!

I usually just store the files location in a regular varchar column. Just be sure to store the full path (the full UNC is of course preferable).
Your VB program can then use the path's string value (eg. using the IO namespace...ie. IO.File.Open).
