Description

I have downloaded and installed the Northwind database for SQL Server.
In the tables "Categories" and "Employees" there are actually images stored:
Categories
Employees
But how can I get the actual image files to use in my application?
How can I export these rows to get the physical files? (= jpeg, png or gif files)
Can I export this with SQL Server?
