Will it ever be possible to store documents in SQL database?

Obviously i know they can be stored / shared on a file server or in the document store on Royal Server but it would be nice to have the option

Hi Stephen,


there are no plans to store a document in a SQL db. I'm curious, what benefits do you see storing documents in a SQL db?

Well, storing the data on SQL is not as straight forward because internally we don't store the data in a way to make it easy for SQL storage. A completely new data access layer has to be implemented to make this possible. Anyway, Royal Server for team environments is not mandatory. You can still store it on a file share and let multiple users sync their changes.

Would save on the cost of buying Royal Server in a team environment, it would also be possible to do SQL Log shipping for a DR scenario without having to make sure a file is backed up and stored someone central in two different locations
