Should I Store Images In The Database Or The Filesystem?

Images - Store In A Database Or File System?
Jun 19, 2007I have recently designed and built my first database using SQL server 2005 express. I have included an image (BLOB) column in one of the database tables. This is a bad idea according to some experts, and some say it is OK!
I am currently carrying out a trial with just 3 pictures via Visual Basic 2005 express forms, and there is no problem so far as the images are displayed for each record. But I anticipate between 300 - 1000 images for the table, and this could pose real problems for SQL server 2005 express and Visual Basic 2005 express, I guess.
I have just been reading that the cost of storing large images in the database is too high! I have also read it's better to store images (BLOB) into the file system because it is cheaper to store them no matter how many there are.
But the question is how I can reference an image in this path: C:PictureProductGrocery 0052745.jpg in the database table, so that when I select a record Visual Basic 2005 forms the image is displayed accordingly, similar as when stored directly in the database table? Your help very much appreciated.

How To: Store And Retrieve Images In A Database As A Byte Array.
Feb 28, 2008I€™ve inherited a project from one of the guys on our team who will be out sick for a while. He developed two for marshaling data between System.Drawing.Image and System.Byte(). He€™s storing the byte array data in a database image field.
I€™ve retrieved the byte array data from his database image fields and have successfully converted them to images using his ConvertByteArrayToImage method below. I have also converted and image to a byte array with his ConvertImageToByteArray method below and succfully stored the data in a database image field. However, when I retrieve the byte array data that I stored in the database the last line in his ConvertByteArrayToImage method throws an exception (Parameter is not valid). I€™ve not been able to find a working copy of his code that€™s storing the byte array data. Does anyone see anything I€™m overlooking?

What Is The Better Way To Store Images In MSSQL 2000?
Jan 2, 2004hi guys, are there any official or some sort of documents to talk about the advantages and disadvantages of storing image in the SQL's Image datatype field or storing the pointer to the image file? i have lots of static images (no more than 1MB each) that requires little updating and i need to retrieve them constantly. i am really struggled here on which method i should store the images: to store the images as Image datatype in SQL or save them as files and store the paths to the files. i would like to know, in my case, would there be any performance and efficient difference on using either method?
naturally, i'd think the 1st method seems like a better solution. it's easier to back up and it protects integrity. But at the same time, i am not sure if the constant inserting and retrieving of images will affect the performance? also, i want to share the images and may create a ticker thing (using JavaScript) to display the images on the web page randomly and it seems like the 2nd method is easier to program. if you were me, which method would you use and why? thanks!

Photos In SQL Server: Store As Images Or Strings With Path && Filename?
Apr 4, 2008Hi, for my photo album database I'm trying to decide whether to store the actual photos as images in the db or whether to leave them in file directories with just the path & filename in the db. As a beginner in this field I don't know how either of these options compare (e.g. in terms of performance, complexity, flexibility and maintainablity) so any advice on the pros and cons of each would be appreciated.

Does It Store All The Results To Tempdb Database When I Query Against A Large Table Which Joins Another Table?
Jun 25, 2007Hi, all experts here,
I am wondering if tempdb stores all results tempararily whenever I query a large fact table with over 4 million records which joins another dimension table? Since each time when I run the query, the tempdb grows to nearly 1GB which nearly runs out all the space on my local system drive, as a result the performance totally down. Is there any way to fix this problem? Thanks a lot in advance and I am looking forward to hearing from you shortly for your kind advices.
With best regards,

Add Many Images As Varbinary(max) To Table
Jun 6, 2008Hello,
I am trying to create a statement that will update many rows in a table with images, stored as varbinary(max), into a new column.
The path/file information is all stored in another table, but I can't find a way to update more than 1 at a time. Here is the statement that works for 1 row at a time:
update tblphotos set photo = (select
BulkColumn from
Openrowset( Bulk '\**servername**PropsImagesDon Giovanni 2002PropsHorses Guts 2.jpg', Single_Blob) as photo
)
where photoseq = 27
but if I try to do something like this:
CREATE TABLE #temp (
photoSeq int,
photoLoc varchar(255),
photo varbinary(max)
)
INSERT #temp
select p.photoseq, f.fldlocation + p.photophyloc as files,
(select
BulkColumn from
Openrowset( Bulk f.fldlocation + p.photophyloc, Single_Blob) as photo
)
FROM txprops t
join tblfolders f on t.fldlocation = f.fldseq
join tblphotos p on p.photopropseq = t.propseq
begin tran
update a set photo = b.photo
from tblphotos a
join #temp b on a.photoseq = b.photoseq
where a.photoseq = b.photoseq
select * from tblphotos order by photophyloc
commit tran
drop table #temp
I get an error: Incorrect syntax near 'f'.
I think this is because I can only put a path in beside BULK.
I have investigated BULK and bcp commands, but cannot find anything to satisfy this. I tried the DTS package route, but am not getting very far.
Any suggestions? Is DTS the solution for me?

View 1 Replies View RelatedRetrieving Images From Database
Jun 10, 2008Hi.
I've been traling the forum and the internet for a striaghtr forward solution on this.
I'm trying to do what loads of people have already achieved: retrive images from an SQL database.
I have successfully uploaded inages to an "iamges" table, storing the image as SQL type "image", also storing size, type, description, name etc.
I want to be able to read one or more of these images (and other data) back from the table.
I'm using C#, ASP NET 2.0, SQL,
Any examples I've found needed a lot of tweaking, and for some reason or other didn't work!
Please don;t just pose yet another URL to an example - I've probably tried it and failed already.
I don't mind if I display the images in a GridView or just within an aspx page.
Ideally I'd be able to dispaly a few images on a page.
I know how to read and display the rest of the data in the "images" table.
Can anyone help please?
Do you need more info?
Thanks in advance,
Garrett

Storing Images In A Database
Oct 6, 2005An odd question from me, I know, but this time, I assure you a twist.
I have a group that wants to store images in either a database or a file share, in order to make a certain website able to run on a load balanced web farm. These images are around 1KB each in size, and have a lifespan of exactly one use (think of graphs). I went a-googling, and found no shortage of articles that say "don't do it, but here's how you can do it", but I did not find any real hard statements as to why to not do it. Needless to say, this is hurting the case for not putting these images in the database. I have found an article that says images over 8KB will have worse performance, but I can not use that factoid here. For the moment, I have the developers leaning toward the fileshare, because they will be writing transaction logs all day, which will be more work than the fileshare needs to do....I think. The best I can do, is cut the text/image datatype overhead, and have them create the table as varbinary(2000), but even then, I don't like the look of the idea.
Anyone out there have good articles/whitepapers that detail the differences between writing single-use images to a fileshare vs. a SQL database? <baiting=blatant>Failing that, do any of the Microsoft development team have an opinion?</baiting>
Alternatively, what is the general opinion of keeping session state information in a database (because I bet that will be my next battle). I see .NET includes a session state server, but not being a programmer, I can not create an opbjective test.
