hi,

I had a query on sql database, we know we usually store files of

different type in sql database and its helpful for searching and

retrieving the documents from the database, but one query i had was

related to the amount of space required to store the files in the

database. For Eg., say i have a word document which is of 5Mb thn how

much space does it occupy in the database if i store it in binary
format

b'coz i know it'll occupy less than the original file size but i
wanted

to knw exactly how much space it'll take in the database and y?

my mail-id is apondu@gmail.com, if someone knows the answer then
please

let me know

Thanks for the response and help people here are providing

Regards,
Govardhan.
