I can access my server's sql server database using a Direct Connection in ArcCatalog. I can succesfully display shapefiles.
What I need is just import/export raster images from ArcCatalog to SQL Server and viceversa, in the similar way as with Oracle. Is that option available?
Should I enable the option (right-click over the connection) Enable Geodatabase..?
It sound like you SQL Server database is not a geodatabase. You can have feature classes in your SQL database, the feature geometry is stored as SQL Server Geometry. If you would like to use the full functionality of a geodatabase, I would recommend enabling it. This will allow you to import/export the raster data that you need.

Well, now it is obvious that the ArcGIS Server is needed, and this is what we are trying to avoid precisely. I thought that just by having the ArcGIS Advanced license was enough.
