Saving documents in SQL2005

Hi,
I was wondering if I can save documents e.g. pdf, word, excel or anyother format in sql2005.
If yes what datatype should I use and what would be the best way to go about it.
Thanks in advanceYou could

But you would be better of just storing the file name and path of a file server in the database and storing the documents on the file server

Look up image datatype in BOL|||Thanks for the quick reply. So your suggestion is saving the docs on file server and the path and file name in sql server which is what I am doing at this time... but I thought saving docs in sql itself would have been a better option for security and ease of use etc.

Can you please give me some reasons why would it be better if I not save files on sql e.g. lots of load etc. so I will give that explaination to my boss here :).
Thanks|||From what I understand it'a a maint nightmare, plus you have to get the data out chunks, it's not a simple operation, and then you have to put them all back together

You have BOL?

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms130214.aspx|||Oh thank you for the link there for BOL :).
And I would go with your suggestion for using file server instead of SQL for saving files now it does makes sense.

Thank you very much for the help.
