Hi all,

We are using an 'image' data type as the sql type when we need to use blobs in our application.

As Microsoft states here:  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/data-types/ntext-text-and-image-transact-sql?view=sql-server-2017, data type 'image' is deprecated and will be removed in one of the future versions of sql.

Does anyone have any experience using the varbinary(max) with the ByteArrayColumn in Firefly.Box code? does it work seamlessly? or do We have to do some adjustments?

Any information regarding this issue will be greatly appreciated.

Should work - we've seen it in multiple migrations.
