Section 1.8. Where Are the Files?


1.8. Where Are the Files?

If you install SharePoint, create a few sites, then search your server's file system, you might be surprised that you can't find the web pages you just created. That's because SharePoint stores content in a SQL Server database, not in conventional files and folders.

Using SQL Server gives SharePoint advantages in performance, security, and indexing (for site searches). Remember what I said about lists being tables? Tables...SQL...does it start to make sense?
