How Can I Copy Data From A Table Containing A Binary Column?
May 14, 2005
I have a table called 'Articles' whose columns are articleId (int), authorName (varchar) and article (binary). The primary key is articleId. I tried using DTS wizard available in Enterprise Manager 2000, to import the data from this table into a remote database table, but the data copy failed. I am thinking the binary column is causing the DTS data copy to fail.
If someone could tell me what else I could do to transfer binary data to remote database(like an example of a data transfer query), then that would help me greatly.
Hi, I need to write a script that will be called during the database upgrade of my application. This is part of reorg of the tables. The script has to get data for say 4 columns from table A and insert it into another table B. Table B has identity insert column and remaining 4 columns matching the ones to be copied. The data is dependent on user database, hence number of records needs to be copied might be different. Also the columns can have null values.
I tried using bcp Command as follows.. bcp "select colA,colB,colC,colD from A" queryout "c: empA.dat" -t" " -r"" -c
I'm able to get the dat file, but not the format file. Can anyone tell me how to get it using query file with -c option. Also if there is better option to copy data, kindly let me know.
Hi, All, I have agentID in product table. Now I add agentID column in transaction table. Now I want to copy all agentID from product table to transaction table based on the order_id in both table. Can you show me an example? Thanks Betty
I have a table with 10 rows with a varbinary column
I wish to concatenate all the binary column into a single binary column and then write that to another table within the database. This application splits a binary file (Word or PDF document) into multiple segments (this is Column2 as below)
I wrote this query to pull some information involving 3 tables dbo.NewFamNbrs$, dbo.CGIItemMaster and dbo.CGIFamilyMaster. In addition I want to perform an update statement to update column dbo.CGIItemMaster.FamilyIDX with the information of dbo.CGIFamilyMaster.IDX. I also know that truncation is indicating that I'm trying to insert data into a field not large enough. So I performed a len() function on the both columns and order by desc and they both came up with 4 as being the max.
Query:
SELECT a.PART, a.Family, b.FamilyIDX, c.FamilyID, c.IDX FROM dbo.NewFamNbrs$ a LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.CGIFamilyMaster c ON a.Family = c.FamilyID LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.CGIItemMaster b ON a.PART = b.PART
Results of query:
PART Family FamilyIDX FamilyID IDX 000127233TF011468 TF01 506 000129880TF011468 TF01 506 003110 MET061468 MET06 1915
UPDATE STATEMENT:
begin tran update dbo.CGIItemMaster set FamilyIDX=c.IDX FROM dbo.NewFamNbrs$ a LEFT OUTER JOIN CGIFamilyMaster c ON a.Family = c.FamilyID LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.CGIItemMaster b ON a.PART = b.PART
When I set a column to have a default definition that uses a UDF, I am receiving the "String or binary data would be truncated" error.
The UDF:
Code BlockALTER FUNCTION GetDefaultClientTier ( @ClientAssets decimal(15,2) ) RETURNS char(1) AS BEGIN DECLARE @Result char(1) -- Get the first result in case of overlaps. SET @Result = CAST((SELECT TOP 1 ClientTier FROM ClientTiers WHERE @ClientAssets BETWEEN ClientAssetsFloor AND ClientAssetsCeiling) AS char(1)) RETURN @Result END
ClientTier is defined as char(1) in the table. I simply have (isnull([dbo].[GetDefaultClientTier]([ClientAssets])),(null))) as the definition. I can't use a computed column because I the values need to be editable. When inserting with SSIS, the insert works fine but the column has a value of null for each row.
When putting a character as the default (like 'A') the insert works fine.
The cast is there only because I have tried everything I can think of to get around this.
First of all let me say that ASP.NET a new programming environment for me so please forgive my ignorance. Can someone please tell me how to write data to a SQL table that is a Binary data type? I have a stored procedure on the SQL server that I am calling to insert data into a table. I build a parameter list and set the values. It worked just fine before I added a binary field to the SQL table. My problem is that I don't know how to set the Binay data type to pass it to the stored procedure. Here is part of the code: GetCMD = Myconnection.CreateCommand GetCMD.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure GetCMD.CommandText = "SCHEMANAME.InsertLineItem" GetCMD.Parameters.Add("HEADER_ID", SqlDbType.VarChar, 150) GetCMD.Parameters("HEADER_ID").Value = "some value" GetCMD.Parameters.Add("@OPTIONS", SqlDbType.Binary) GetCMD.Parameters("@OPTIONS").Value = HOW DO I SET THIS VALUE???? rowsaffected = GetCMD.ExecuteNonQuery() I assume serialization but have not figured out how. Anyone's help is greatly appreciated!!
I'm using a bit-wise comparison to effectively store multiple values in one column. However once the number of values increases it starts to become too big for a int data type.you also cannot perform a bitwise & on two binary datatypes. Is there a better way to store the binary data rather than int or binary?
Hi all, I have one table with a column of type 'image'. There are manytypes of files saved in that column (i.e. .Doc,Xls,Pdf,jpg,gif etc.). What I want is, read that files from database and save it in temp folder on d drive of server. Can anyone help me in my problem? Thanx in advance
I want to store Images as binary data in SQL table and compare it each time with a image file I am getting. I've tried below approach but getting error:
DROP TABLE #BLOBTest CREATE TABLE #BLOBTest ( TestID int IDENTITY(1,1), BLOBName varChar(50), BLOBData varBinary(MAX) );
[Code] ....
Error: Msg 4861, Level 16, State 1, Line 10 Cannot bulk load because the file "C:Files12656.jpg" could not be opened. Operating system error code 3(failed to retrieve text for this error. Reason: 15105).
I am trying to produce a matrix (crosstab) report in SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services Report Designer, where the column headers contain a binary data type storing a png image.
By just simply using the report wizard and assigning the binary (image) data value to the column headers, and then previewing the report, I get following error:
An error occurred during local report processing.An error has occurred during report processing.The Group expression used in grouping 'matrix1_COMPETITOR_EMBLEM' returned a data type that is not valid.
Is there any way to include binary data types, or images per se from the database into a matrix or even table item in a report ?
Hi, I have two users tables. One users table has a deleted column. The other users table is made up of users based on what dept they are in etc. I would like to get the values from a column (deleted) in the first table and copy the values over to a column in the second table. I would appreciate any suggestions you might have. Regards, Tony.
I have run the select query which returned one row. There is one column in it which has got large amount of data. I want to copy the complete content of that column(varchar(max)), but I am unable to do it. It's not the xml data. I don't want to do any conversions.
I'm working on a report to show financial transactions from a table over a certain period. For most transactions there is a PDF document that is stored in a separate table in a binairy format. In my report I would like to include a link on every line with transaction information in the report that opens the PDF that is linked to that transaction. Just to be clear, I don't want to embed the PDF in the report but I want the users of the report to have the option to view the PDF that is related to that transaction in their standard pdf reader (adobe).
Code to do the following:
Once a user clicks on the link to view the PDF I need the code to get the binairy data of the PDF file from the table, convert it back to a PDF and open it in the default pdf reader (for example adobe reader). If it can't directly open the file then it's maybe possible to activate the 'open or download' pop up that you also get when you download something from a website.
I thought I saw this done once before. So today I hunted around inBooks OnLine and did a Google search. So far I have found nothingclose. So if you know how to do it, please tell me or if cannot bedone, I'd appreciate know that too.Thanks in advance,IanO

I need to move data from a large table (350GB/395,000 rows) to another table within the DB, but onto another disk. The table has an image data type so I have to create a new table onto the new disk. My original table looks like this:

My plan was to use import/export wizard to move the data over to the new table, while set to Bulk Log recovery, drop the original table, then create the indexes/constraints on the new one. With this much data, I'm wondering what else I should do. Anyone have a better idea? What am I missing?
There are some data in a table with TypeID=23 and I need copy all rows with TypeID=23 to the same table, I mean append at the end, and make the copied rows TypeId=24 for some tests purpose.
Write a query that will grab bin# from table A and if its missing on table B copy it. I tried and update query but it doesn't work and also a select Into and failed too.
I want to move or copy a row of data from one table to another, but not sure how to go about it! I have SQL 2000, and using Enterprise Mangager with SQL query to run the script. This will be used in a procedure once I get the Query to work.
Hi All I have two tables one is old and another new table. I need to copy the data from old to new table. using stored procedure. How can I do the same. Please help me.
I have a table that I need to move all data to a secondary data file. I have to copy all data from the table to another table to make this work since I have an image data type. My initial table is set up like this:
USE [PD51_Data] GO /****** Object: Table [dbo].[SCANNEDDOCUMENTS] Script Date: 05/27/2008 11:26:36 ******/ SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO SET ANSI_PADDING ON GO CREATE TABLE [dbo].[SCANNEDDOCUMENTS]( [DocID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [CaseID] [int] NOT NULL, [DocName] [varchar](50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL, [Doc] [image] NOT NULL, [DocLocation] [varchar](255) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL, [DocNotes] [text] COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL, [TopicID] [int] NULL, [ScannedDocumentsCheckSum] [varchar](128) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [DocID] ASC )WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY] ) ON [PRIMARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]
GO SET ANSI_PADDING OFF GO ALTER TABLE [dbo].[SCANNEDDOCUMENTS] WITH NOCHECK ADD CONSTRAINT [ISCANNEDDOCUMENTS2] FOREIGN KEY([TopicID]) REFERENCES [dbo].[TOPICS] ([TopicID]) GO ALTER TABLE [dbo].[SCANNEDDOCUMENTS] CHECK CONSTRAINT [ISCANNEDDOCUMENTS2]
My new Table is set up like this: USE [PD51_Data] GO /****** Object: Table [dbo].[SCANNEDDOCUMENTS2] Script Date: 05/27/2008 11:27:23 ******/ SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO SET ANSI_PADDING ON GO CREATE TABLE [dbo].[SCANNEDDOCUMENTS2]( [DocID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [CaseID] [int] NOT NULL, [DocName] [varchar](50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL, [Doc] [image] NOT NULL, [DocLocation] [varchar](255) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL, [DocNotes] [text] COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL, [TopicID] [int] NULL, [ScannedDocumentsCheckSum] [varchar](128) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL ) ON [SECONDARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [SECONDARY]
GO SET ANSI_PADDING OFF My plan is, once I move or copy the data to the new table, I will then drop the original table, rename new table to the original, create the indexes and FKs. What do you think would be the best way to move the data to the new table?
