SQL Data Sets can also identify various file formats that may be stored in a binary column. In the current version of SQL Data Sets, the following file formats are supported:

· Adobe Acrobat (pdf)  
· Bzip2 archives (bzip2)  
· unprotected Microsoft Office files (doc, xls, ppt)  
· Winrar archives (rar)
