I want to store Word document in a table. First I tried to add the physical path of file to the table and later retieved it. Now As I dont want others to physically open the files, I decided to store the file itself in a text datatype field. Is this a good idea? And I dont know whether text field is capable of storing the files having 5 or more MBs. What do you think is the feasible method?

This will be a binry file so should be stored in an image datatype.
5 or more MB is not a proble (up to nearly 2 GB)

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.
