For SQL 2000, the max size for binary is 8,000 bytes. For 2005 I think it is 2,147,483,647 bytes.

Store only physical path of the files in the column and store files in the server directory

BINARY and VARBINARY can hold 8000 bytes, IMAGE can hold 2GB. In 2005 there is a special case VARBINARY(MAX) that like IMAGE can hold up to 2GB as well.

-- This one's tricky. You have to use calculus and imaginary numbers for this. You know, eleventeen, thirty-twelve and all those.
