title: how to store text and image in the same column?
body: <p>I have a table in SQL server 2008 R2 where I am storing values of translations.
  The translated values can be a text or it can be an image also. We want to use same column for storing the image and text so when we do a search we don't have to give 2 queries based on type of data.
  my question:-
  1. Can I store image and text in the same column?
  2. should I do that? or should i have 2 different columns? (one with varbinary and other simple nvarchar)?</p>
