Chapter 10: Integrating <strong>FILESTREAM</strong>with other <strong>SQL</strong> <strong>Server</strong> FeaturesAs we have seen in the previous chapters, the <strong>FILESTREAM</strong> feature is implementedas an additional attribute added to a VARBINARY(MAX) column. This model keeps<strong>FILESTREAM</strong> features and the complexities associated with managing BLOB datacompletely transparent to the T-<strong>SQL</strong> programming interface; T-<strong>SQL</strong> code can access<strong>FILESTREAM</strong> data just as if it were a regular VARBINARY(MAX) column. Mostly, thismeans that existing <strong>SQL</strong> <strong>Server</strong> features that work with VARBINARY(MAX) columnswork with <strong>FILESTREAM</strong> columns without requiring modification.In this chapter, we will look at how well the <strong>FILESTREAM</strong> feature aligns with the<strong>SQL</strong> <strong>Server</strong> features below.• Replication• Log shipping• Full-text indexing• Database snapshots• Change Data Capture (CDC)• Data compression• Transparent data encryption• Database Mirroring• High Availability Disaster Recovery – Always On (HADRON).351
