bytearray - Save byte array in sql server

Question

Am looking to use an approach in saving passwords that requires using byte array as in this post

So which data type should i use in sql server to save byte array? and how can i pass and retrieve the byte array using SqlCommand?

Answer 1

If it's always going to be the same length, then binary(length) would be suitable. If it's going to vary in length, use varbinary(maxlength).

binary and varbinary.

And, as @p.s.w.g says, you pass it from code by placing it into a suitable parameter.
