Remote BLOB Store (RBS) is designed to move the storage of large binary data (BLOBs) from database servers to commodity storage solutions.
With RBS, BLOB data is stored in storage solutions such as Content Addressable Stores (CAS), commodity hardware with data integrity and fault-tolerance systems, or mega service storage solutions like MSN Blue. A reference to the BLOB is stored in the database. An application stores and accesses BLOB data by calling into the RBS client library. RBS manages the life cycle of the BLOB, such as doing garbage collection as and when needed.
RBS is an add-on that can be applied to Microsoft SQL Server 2008 and later. It uses auxiliary tables, stored procedures, and an executable to provide its services. A reference to the BLOB (provided by the BLOB Store) is stored in RBS auxiliary tables and an RBS BLOB ID is generated. Applications store this RBS BLOB ID in a column in application tables. These columns in application tables are called RBS Columns in this specification. The RBS Column is not a new data type; it is just a simple binary(20).

How we can get the data in resultset from two different database server(SQL Server) having same table structure on both table into these two servers…?
@Rajesh,
Why don’t you try using fully qualified name?
