BLOB Data Type
Feb 24, 2004
Does anyone have any experience of this type of data please? I have been asked to work on a project where it looks like we will be taking MS Office files and scanned images and storing them in a SQL 2000 db so that they can be aquired by a third party application. I am most intereested in the size of the records as the server may need upgrading, for space and performance.
I am also interested in how a BLOB record is created, is it a particular save process from Word / Excel etc or can you specify to import as a BLOB from a SQL script?
Any info welcomed as i really dont know where to start !!!
TIA

Hi all,
I am trying to store binary datafiles into a SQl Express table. However I can not find the BLOB data type when I am designing the table. Are we limited to using that kind of data type in the Express edition? Thanks.

I am using SqlServer 2000 and Jdbc connectivity in my application on windows.So, when i execute a query on Sqlserver database as :
Select * from DBO.RS_TABLELOB where Rep_sync_id > 15 and Rep_server_name != 'replicator' order by Rep_sync_id;
This problem is only with the BLOB data types in table RS_TABLELOB.
Then i got an error as:
[Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]ResultSet can not re-read row data for column
1.'.'.at com.microsoft.jdbc.base.BaseExceptions.createExcep tion(Unknown Source)at

Please help me out, if you have any idea!!!
Thanks in advance

Hi! I tried to save some image data, but it get truncated at 8000 (the table column is defined as Image). I then wrote a converter to try ntext-datatype instead, but it gets truncated at 4000.
Error message:
System.Data.SqlServerCe: @3 : String truncation: max=4000, len=4168
The code uses only ADO entity framework for database access. Is there a way to store binary data larger than 8000 bytes? I am running SQL Compact 3.5 sp 1 BETA.

I have a column in my table that is an Image (blob). The data storedin this blob is basically pdf files. I need a query to determine thetotal size of these blob's in the database. Here is what ishappening, if I run it as below I get 23736000 for a result.select sum(datalength (cast(document AS binary(8000)))) fromplan_reportIf I run it like this select sum(datalength (cast(document ASvarbinary(8000)))) from plan_reportI get 23736000 also as a resultIf I run it like this select sum(datalength (cast(document ASvarbinary))) from plan_reportI get 89010 this as a resultIf I run this: select datalength(document) from plan_report then Iget a result for each row and when I sum those rows I get 5584452854this as a result.I do not believe the first 3 queries are returning correct result setsdue to the limit on the fields (binary/varbinary) and since this is animage field I cannot convert to anything else.....I am out of ideas, and any help you can give me will be greatlyappreciated...

After testing out the application i write on the local pc. I deploy it to the webserver to test it out. I get this error.
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: The conversion of a char data type to a
datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.
Notes: all pages that have this error either has a repeater or datagrid which load data when page loading.
At first I thought the problem is with the date, but then I can see
that some other pages that has datagrid ( that has a date field) work
just fine.
anyone having this problem before?? hopefully you guys can help.

Hi,
I can populate a dataTable with type double (C#) of say '1055.01' however when I save these to the CE3.5 database using a float(CE3.5) I lose the decimal portion. The 'offending' code is:
this.court0TableAdapter1.Update(this.mycourtsDataSet1.Court0);
this.mycourtsDataSet1.AcceptChanges();
this.court0TableAdapter1.Fill(this.mycourtsDataSet1.Court0);
This did not happen with VS2005/CE3.01.
I have tried changing all references to decimal (or money in CE3.5) without luck.
I'm beginning to think that string may be the way to go!!!!!!!
Can someone shed some light on my problem.
Thanks,
Later:
It's necessary to update the datatable adapter as the 3.01 and 3.5 CE are not compatible.

We have some columns in a table where the date is stored as 19980101 (YYYYMMDD). The data type for this column is NUMBER(8) in Oracle.
I need to copy rows from Oracle to SQL Server using SSIS. I used the Data Conversion transformation editor to change it to DT_DATE, but the rows are not being inserted to the destination.
On Error, If I fail the component, then the error is :
There was an error with input column "ORDER_DATE_CONV" (1191) on input "OLE DB Destination Input" (29). The column status returned was: "Conversion failed because the data value overflowed the specified type.".

Hi all,It was my understanding (Please correct me if I'm wrong on this!) thatBLOB data actually reside on their own separate pages and a BLOB fieldonly holds a pointer to the location of the actual data, therefore theBLOB data per se would not get written to the log, only the pointerwould be written.If log shipping works by applying the transaction log to the standbydatabase, then what happens to the BLOB data?Related question, how does transactional replication work? Is it alsobased on the transaction log?TIA,Ellen

Hi, I have to migrate an oracle database over to SQL Server 2005. One of the tables has PDF files stored as BLOB. All the ORACLE providers in SSIS do not support BLOB column. What can I use or how can I get the PDF files into my SQL table? The SQL column can be either IMAGE or VARBINARY(MAX).
Thanks,

hi,
i learned that BLOB data types are out-row data by default, i think it means it will not store in the row of table, because the max-length of a col is 8KB.
but will the system store those BLOB data? and is there any way to specify where should it be stored, like tha Partition Schema.
i am using SQL Express, so i hope it works for express.(partition does not work for express)

Hi,
I have a problem with writing BLOB data into type of 'image' field.
If the data size > ~280 MByte (< 2 GB) the operation failed.
It is appear on SQL Server 2000 and 2005 (MSDE and express also).
Detailes :
column type : image
Server : SQL Server 2005, version - 9.0.3042
technology : OLEDB, from C++ -> CDynamicAccessor
protocol for communication : TCP/IP
Size of the DB : ~3 MByte.
As I see the provider read partially (~267 943 936 byte if all is 280 MB) of data from my ISequentialStream.
Error of OLEDB:
DB_E_ERRORSOCCURED : 0x80040e21
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionWrite(send()).]
General network error.
SQL Server error log entries :
10/05/2007 16:52:53,Server,Unknown,A fatal error occurred while reading the
input stream from the network. The session will be terminated.
10/05/2007 16:52:53,Server,Unknown,Error: 4014<c/> Severity: 20<c/> State: 1.
Entries of SQL profiler :
Error: 4002, Severity: 16, State: 4
The incoming tabular data stream (TDS) protocol stream is incorrect. The stream ended unexpectedly.
I used to set up the bug with contents of a ~350 MB .zip or .mdf file. Everyting is ok when the data <= ~250 MB.
I had ran MS Network Monitor on the server side and not found partially transmitted frames (but I use it on first time).
We try it on another machines, on another LAN with other BLOB (and the bug arised).
I had try 'named pipes' protocol for communication (and the bug arised).
I will be glad if somebody maintain that how can I found the origin of the bug (tools, log options, protokol settings etc.) or
I can present my simple test program (VC 2005 project) and its database (MS SQL 2005).
Best Regards,
Imre

How do I use the GetBlobdata to get the string representation?
I have tried numerous version of Encoders thinking that
System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding(Row.TextData.ColumnInfo.CodePage).GetString(b) (where b is the byte array returned by GetBlobData)
But this doesn't work. I have had to resort to converting the field in SQL, so I don't have to deal with blobdata.

Hello,
I have SQL Server 2000 and I'm trying to import data from a paradox v5 database. Everything has moved over fine but the data from the blob fields. When I use the import tool and try connect to a paradox blob field, the import wizard does not "see" the paradox blob field. here is and example.
If I have a table with the following fields.
id char(20)
description char(120)
image blob
the ms-sql import wizard sees
id char(20)
description char(20)
I find this very odd, but I do need a solution. Any Ideas?

I have a field that is currently stored as the data type nvarchar(10), and all of the data in this field is in the format mm/dd/yyyy or NULL. I want to convert this field to the smalldatetime data type. Is this possible?
I've tried to use cast in the following way, (rsbirthday is the field name, panelists is the table), but to no avail.
SELECT rsbirthday CAST(rsbirthday AS smalldatetime)
FROM panelists
the error returned is "incorrect syntax near 'rsbirthday'.
I'm rather new to all things SQL, so I only have the vaguest idea of what I'm actually doing.
Thanks for the help!

We are debating what is industry “best practice� for serving huge numbers of images in an industrial scale website. More directly, which approach produces the best performance and the best scalability? For example, how do sites like ebay, Amazon, and other large sites handle the millions or billions of images they must deal with?
Store as BLOB in sql server?
Store in /images folder and store url text into sql server?
We always assumed that the second approach is what most sites must do. But do they?
One developer on our team maintains that storing one million or more image files in a directory will most certainly result in poor performance, because the server must scan the directory, searching for the correct file, each time a web request is made. The directory is not indexed (?) so performance must eventually suffer.
Other developer counters that storing millions of images as BLOBs into sql server will result in poor performance and HUGE database. An additional layer of access (webserver to sql server, back to webserver, then to client) causes a delay and performance hit.
Who is right? What do the gurus as the world class sites do?

we need to store values as is

I am trying to use the Bulk Insert Task to load from a csv file. My final column is a bit that is nullable. My file is an ID column that is int, a date column that is mm/dd/yyy, then 20 columns that are real, and a final column that is bit. I've tried various combinations of codepage and datafiletype on my task component. When I have RAW with Char, I get the error included below. If I change to RAW/Native or codepage 1252, I don't have an issue with the bit; however, errors start generating on the ID and date columns.
I have tried various data type settings on my flat file connection, too. I have tried DT_BOOL and the integer datatypes. Nothing seems to work.
I hope someone can help me work through this.
