Can I delete the DLL-File C:\PATH\TO\DLL\FILE.DLL after creating an assembly with
CREATE ASSEMBLY MyAssemblyName FROM 'C:\PATH\TO\DLL\FILE.DLL'
?
Everything seems to work fine after deleting the file. But
SELECT * FROM sys.assembly_files
shows the path of the file in the name column. Can this cause problems? (or is the content of the DLL stored in the database)
The assembly bits are transfered into the database, the original DLL location is irelevant. The idea is that an SQL loaded assembly should continue to work after a backup and restore on a different machine, it has to be entirely contained inside the database.
