I always read that storing binary data in Sql Server degrades performance and I have a question about this. Let's say you have a 100000 record table with 5 columns, one of them is blob type. You have like 5mb of binary data stored each blob row. Questions is, will the performance worse than not having blob data even when you don't use the blob column? I mean what about the performance when you only query the other columns?
