I do scanning of the documents and saving the images to a folder onWindows OS.

We have more than 1 million tiff images in the windows folder.

I read in some articles about not to save the images in the database as BLOB objects. These images are like 50 MB size also more than 250 pages in each tiff image.

Can you please share your thoughts on this.

Thank you very much for the information.

the article is right. Save the file name and the filepath to the database.

Please backup all of your databases including master, msdb and model on a regular basis. I am tired of telling people they are screwed. The job you save may be your own.

I am available for consulting work. Just email me through the forum.
