I need to write codes to access many image files and wave files and display them on the webpage. Both of these files are stored on the server (as many experts in this forum adviced) and their locations are in the SQL server database. About the wav files, I think I will have to convert them to MP3 first for fast delivery on internet. Since I am a newbie, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
I have a table structure like this
EmpID LastName FirstName Emp_Picture
100| x |T |<BINARY>
200| W |W |<BINARY>
..
..
ETC
This table has 935 rows in it with Emp_Picture Blank.
How to insert the jpeg files into the Emp_Picture Column??
Do we have run the update statement for each and every employee or is there a
way to get around this problem..
Thanks in Advance

What are the negatives, challenges and issues going to be if we choose to store 300-1000 GB worth of image, xml and PDF files (avg size 1 mb) in SQL server 2005 db.

I'm not trying toparse files into rows, I want to stick the actual file in the column.Is there some kind of insert script, or bulk copy that I can use?I have about 150 docs and I would rather not go through the whole app,pick the file, upload it. etc.thx,M@
View 1 Replies View RelatedHello,What's the best way to store files of an arbitrary size in a SQLServer / MSDE database? Some files will be text, but most should bebinary (images, audio, and video). I'd like to be able to store allthe files directly in the database so that backing everything up is asingle operation (I can do this, right?). Data retrieval speed is notoverly critical, as the code in question will be running on the samemachine as the database and will only have a single instance of theclient application. Any advice and/or hyperlinks to whitepapers on thesubject would be appreciated.Thanks,Will GantJoin Bytes!

I need to store a few thousand images in a sql server database.
I've managed to write the asp code to retrieve images that are already in the pubs database, but haven't been able to find a satisfactory way of inserting new pictures in the first place.
At the moment we're using Notes and its great 'cos you just cut and paste them in. But now we need to take them all out and put them into sql server it's proving to be a nightmare. Any clues anyone??
Anyone have any luck using "Upload multiple files to SQL Server Image column"
www.databasejournal.com/features/mssql/article.php/3444771
I did some quick Googling and didn't find the article of my dreams here. Any experience with storing files in the db in 2005? Any opinions?
Here's the deal. We have our new 'Enterprise' software being designed and written in St. Petersburg (not FL) and I'm reviewing the design for dealing with letters and forms that are generated as hard copy from our business (by the thousands per month) and sent to clients for review, signature etc. Then they are returned by fax or snail mail.
The current design has all of these being stored in image data type columns in the database--storing saved files of the actual outgoing stuff and saved files of the stuff that comes in (scanned copies or the files from our fax server).
This screams 'BAD IDEA' based on our experience doing this in SQL Server 2000. We get things like 23 page faxes from Dr's offices, large packets of FMLA forms returned, etc. In 2000 they tended to get rather large when stored in the DB and caused us all kinds of headaches when Microsoft changed how it recognized and displayed certain types of files, e.g. tiffs.
Further, the outgoing stuff is largely boilerplate with added fields from the db--name, address, a few dates. My proposed design for outbound notifications and forms was to keep only references to the template used, the date created, and an id to link it to the personal info of the schmoe to whom it was sent--essentially, store which document template and then just enough data to map to the variable content that is pulled from the db. Then you can recreate the file that was printed and mailed at any time in the future, but you don't actually save the .doc (or Word .xml) anywhere, not in the file system, not in the db.
The current developers feel this is way too much work to design--and it is certainly more effort than just generating .docs/.xml files via a merge with Word and then stuffing those into the database. They also argue that having them in the db makes them 'more secure' and more 'accessible' to users around the globe.
Does anyone know if the image storage is any better in 2005 than 2000? The .docs & .tifs we used to store just about tripled in size when we put them in the db in 2000. Plus there were the defrag issues and generally it was an unsatisfying experience.
Does anyone know what the advantages/disadvantages of generating Word .xml files might be? Can they be stored as xml data type in SQL Server? Perhaps this is a better option?
If anyone has the time to digest this, please send opinions.
Thanks!

As part of a web site I allow users to store documents in SQL Server 2000 using an Image column on a table. After the file is saved the user can open the document through the browser. This works great for most file extensions such as ".XLS" or ".DOC" but fails when attempting to open ".MSG" files (saved outlook messages). XLS documents will open in Excel and DOC documents open in Word, but MSG documents open in Notepad and display what appears to be binary data. I'm trying to figure out if this is a SQL Server issue or some sort of ASP/ASP.NET webserver issue.
If I attempt to open an MSG file stored directly on the web server, the file opens correctly using the "Microsoft Outlook View Control", but when attempting to open the same file saved in SQL Server, it attempts to open in notepad.
Any ideas?
I have been fighting with this all day. If you can point me in the right direction I'd appreiciate it. I need to load about 500 jpg files into a table. The table has 3 columns an "ID", "Filename" which has the filename of the jpg in it already, but not the unc path, and a ("Photo" Image Datatype)column which is not populated yet. I need to store the Image file in the photo field so that I can run reports in reporting services and so on and so forth. I am not sure how to complete this task.

When images are uploaded and stored directly into a sql database as binary data (eg in the club starter kit) how can those images be accessed and displayed.
When I open the images table in VWD and select display data, the cells holding the image data hold a <binary data> tag. What I want to be able to do is get at that data, or actually get at the image so that it is displayed. My reason is this, at the moment the only way to access the images in the sql database after they have been uploaded is to log into the website and view them as an administrator of the site. It would be much simpler if I could access the database directly and view the contents of the images table.
Any ideas?
Thanks
I want to be able to load and unload, byte-for-byte, a file to and from a field of data type IMAGE in a SQL Server CE database. The files are larger than 8000 bytes so IMAGE appears to be the way to go data type wise.
I'm using VB 2008 but pseudocode for any VS language would be awesome.
I was able to do this without much effort using ADODB and its stream object, fetching a recordset object and updating the appropriate data field one "chunk" of bytes at a time. I cannot for the life of me find a way of doing this using, for example, a SqlCeResultSet.
I've tried using ADODB to connect to a SqlCe SDF database file, using a connection string that I found online, and am able to write action and select queries successfully against the database... but when I try and return a recordset that is updatable, it returns an error. So no help there.
I've searched other threads in the forums, and online in general, and I've found information on loading/unloading graphic files using a memoryStream and the toArray method thereof, but this will not work as many of the files I want to load and unload as BLOBs are not graphical in nature. FileStreams do not implement the toArray method, so I can't just stream an arbitrary file's worth of bytes that way. I also do not want to change the original file in any fashion--e.g., a hash of the source file should be identical to the file after it has been loaded into the data field and then unloaded into a new file.
Any thoughts? Your help is MUCH appreciated!

I saw a data type named "image", so it means to say you are able to insert an image and not the path, am I right? I spent a lot of time to do this but still, I don't know how to store the image to the db. Please post your example code if you want... I will appreciate all your suggestions or comments about this. Thanks!

I have created a table that contains an image field and inserted 37 images into this table using the writetext method. But when I try to save the image to a file using Visual Basic I get an invalid format error when I open the bmp, gif, jpg file.
I tried doing the exact same thing with the pubs..pub_info table and the bmp, gif, and jpg file all open with no errors.
I then tried to insert one of these files into my table and see if it worked it did not.
So my question is how do I insert an image into a table correctly? Is there another way other then writetext?
