The data which are storing in the table are structured data, because we organizing the data in proper way. but most of the data are unstructured, such as text file, word documents, images, music files, videos, power point slide, etc., mostly these kind of data are stored in different storage area, outside of the system. In this case, database management is very complex, becoz data are scattered in different places instead of in a single place.
Filestream is a new Feature in SQL Server 2008. which allows storage of access to BLOB data using SQL server with NTFS file system. so that Files can be managed by SQL Server. To utilize this new feature, you need to enable FILESTREAM feature on SQL Server 2008. The FILESTREAM feature is disabled during the default SQL Server 2008 installation.
Refer the below link to know about, How to enable FILESTREAM feature manually on SQL Server 2008,
http://blog-mstechnology.blogspot.com/2009/11/enable-filestream-in-sql-server-2008.html.
There are many APIs, utilities and script files are avaialable to enable filestream in programmatic way.
Following VBScript will help us to enable the filestream thru command prompt.
