Remarks

The SqlFileStream class is used to work with varbinary(max) data stored with the FILESTREAM attribute in a SQL Server 2008 database. You must install the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 (or later) to use SqlFileStream to work with FILESTREAM data.

Specifying the FILESTREAM attribute on a varbinary(max) column causes SQL Server to store the data in the local NTFS file system instead of in the database file. Transact-SQL statements provide data manipulation capabilities within the server, and Win32 file system interfaces provide streaming access to the data.

Note

Individual files stored in a FILESTREAM column cannot be opened directly from the NTFS file system. Streaming FILESTREAM data works only in the context of a SQL Server transaction.

The SqlFileStream class is derived from the Stream class, which represents an abstraction of a sequence of bytes from some arbitrary data source such as a file or a block of memory. You can read from a FILESTREAM by transferring data from a stream into a data structure such as an array of bytes. You can write to a FILESTREAM by transferring the data from a data structure into a stream. You can also seek within the stream, which allows you to query and modify data at the current position within the stream.

For conceptual documentation and code examples, see FILESTREAM Data.

For documentation about setting up and configuring FILESTREAM data on SQL Server, see Designing and Implementing FILESTREAM Storage in SQL Server 2008 Books Online.
