Is it a good idea to store files in a different SQL Server 2005 database ‘FileDb’ and point to it (files) in the ‘AppDb’ by ‘FileId’.
Please take in consideration that I have a dedicated server and I can create as many Sql Databases as I want.
update:
Which perform better single database or multiple databsae?
You can use filegroups to separate your data files. You can create one separate filegroup for storing the file data.
