Solution 1

You store it as a blob, and you retrieve it and then write the byte array you got back to the hard drive, then you can open it.

Create a table with a field of type Image.

CREATE TABLE files
(
id int IDENTITY NOT NULL,
filebytes image
)

Now follow the steps mentioned here
Store image in Database[^]

You dont need to hesitate about Image. You can store any file in Image DataType. Just put Byte Array of the file content.

For security, store the filename and Mime Type of the file with the same record.
