The Art of SQL Server FILESTREAM - Red Gate Software

Chapter 4: FILESTREAM with Entity Framework and LINQ to SQLEach lab will follow the same basic structure.1. Create a stored procedure through which EF will access the FILESTREAM data.2. Create a console application project.3. Add an Entity Data Model Object to the project.4. Create the ORM.5. Insert a row with FILESTREAM data into the table.6. Retrieve rows along with FILESTREAM data.In both cases, the goal is to help you to get started with writing EF applications that readand write FILESTREAM data. We will examine only a few basic features offered by ADO.NET EF, a more detailed discussion of which is beyond the scope of this book.Rebuilding the sample databaseBefore we get started with the labs, we need to create a new sample database. Run theT-SQL script in Listing 4-1 to rebuild the NorthPole sample database.USE masterGO-- ----------------------------------------------------- If the sample database exists, drop it and re-create-- ---------------------------------------------------IF DB_ID('NorthPole') IS NOT NULLDROP DATABASE NorthPoleGO133
