How do I store an image/photo/picture in a database?
I have a database called database1 with a table called table1 like:
Table1:
Personid Name1 Name2 Address
and I want to stora a picture of the person in the database (SQL Sever 7) c:picture.jpg. How could I do that? I would like to use a stored procedure to do it. Something with BLOB?bulk insert? how does it work?
I am new to SQL Server and I have got this problem and I am wondering if anyone could provide me with a solution, please.
I created a Product database table using Visual Basic 2005 Express and SQL Server 2005 Express. I have just added a new column [Picture] with IMAGE datatype to the database table, which of course, should store an image or picture of a product. I am writing to kindly ask you guys for help.
i) How do I store a picture or image for each record of this column [Picture] of database table? I have tried and all that I can see is < binary data > in the picture column, and when I start the VB 2005 Express form is a blank picture box!
ii) How do I get this image to display on Visual Basic 2005 Express form, so that when a product is selected the product image is displayed too? All text data appears but not the picture!
I'v been looking for a sample that illustrate how to send an Image(jpeg/gif/bmp) using SSB. The initiating client should pick an image stored locally on a folder in that machine and send it over to the target broker instance using TCP. The target should verify the contents of the message and then insert the image in a table, which i assume should have a column of type varbinary(max).
Sir, Is there any way to insert picture to image datatype in sql server 2000 without using front end. If so please let me know. Thanks in Advance,Arun.
Hi I have a asp:FileUpload conponent that I am trying to use to retrieve a picture file from the clients pc and store it in a SQL database. The table is called PropertyImage and it contains the following fields: imgID (type = int - autoincrement); imgData (type = Image); imgTitle (type = VarChar); imgType (type = VarChar); imgLength (type = BigInt); I have a button (Button1) which when clicked calls Button1_Click() --------------------------------------------------protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {byte[] fileData = null; Boolean status = false;if (FileUpload1 != null) { // Make sure the file has data.if ((FileUpload1.PostedFile != null) && (FileUpload1.PostedFile.ContentLength > 0)) { // Get the filename.string fn = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(FileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName); try { // Access the file stream and begin the upload. Store the file in a memory byte array.Stream MyStream = FileUpload1.PostedFile.InputStream; long iLength = MyStream.Length;fileData = new byte[(int)MyStream.Length];MyStream.Read(fileData, 0, (int)MyStream.Length); MyStream.Close(); }catch (Exception ex) { } } }SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection("Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\heidihomes.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"); try { connection.Open();SqlCommand sqlCmd = new SqlCommand("INSERT INTO PropertyImage (imgData, imgaTitle, imgType, imgLength) VALUES(@data,@title,@type,@length)"); SqlParameter param = new SqlParameter(); // String connectionString = new SqlConnection(sqlCmd, connection); param = new SqlParameter("@data", SqlDbType.Image); param.Value = fileData; sqlCmd.Parameters.Add(param);param = new SqlParameter("@title", SqlDbType.VarChar); param.Value = fileData; sqlCmd.Parameters.Add(param);param = new SqlParameter("@type", SqlDbType.VarChar); param.Value = fileData; sqlCmd.Parameters.Add(param);param = new SqlParameter("@length", SqlDbType.BigInt); param.Value = fileData; sqlCmd.Parameters.Add(param); sqlCmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); connection.Close();status = true; }catch (Exception ex){ }if (status) { UploadStatus.Text = "File Uploaded Successfully";Server.Transfer("Admin_PropertyView.aspx"); } else {UploadStatus.Text = "Uploaded Failed"; } } } -------------------------------------------------- But when I click on the button, nothing happens. Please could someone help me out here. I have tried this a few times and still haven't come right. Also, if there is something else wrong with the code, please let me know. Thanking you in advance.

Hi when I store html file with image in image data type of database sqlserver, where will actual data store (content of html file, and file image which display on html file), in which folder Can I help you
does anyone know a way, using native SQL, to store a result of a query in an image field of a certain table.
The case is we have a selfmade replication to communicate with several SQL servers in stores, this replication is over a telephone line. So we collect all the data using SQL statements and store them in a separate table as an image field. This is done know through a Delphi application that streams the resultset to a image field.
I am creating a document management systems using asp. I have beenresearching the different ways of handling the documents such as using thefile system and storing the path in the db, and actually storing thedocument in the db. I like the idea of storing it in the database muchbetter because I can allow users to manage documents themselves (I alreadyhave the code in place to do it if I decide), having a central system withthe ability to add my own document properties by adding fields to the table,security, and backups. I have found that most think it is better to storethe path due to performance issues and the rate the db can grow. I havelooked at our current system in access and we have a total of 4400 documents(of which probably 25% are in the database but don't actually exist anymorein the file system, one hangup about the file system) since 1988. Thiscomes to about 300 documents added each year. The other thing is the issuewith the size of the db. I don't see a whole lot of difference with thisissue because it is going to take up space in your file system too, althoughthe file system may be more efficient at storing them. I would say that 95%of our docs are under 1 mb in size and done in ms word.The last thing is using full-text search capabilities in SQL Server. I needto be able to search the contents of the field.Is there other issues around storing documents in the db to consider besidesthe above?

I was wondering if anyone knows how to convert an array of bytes to an SQL CE 3 image type and vice versa.
I am using the SDF Signature control and I would like to store the signature as an Image. It needs to be an image so it can be synced with a desktop access 2003 database.
I was working on figuring out where a certain application wasstoring the multiple selection choices I was doing through the app.I finally figured out that they were being store in an IMAGEdata type colum with the variable length of 26 bytes.This is the first time I ran into such way of storing multipleselections in a single Image data type.Is this a better alternative than to store into a One-to-Manytables? If so then I'll have to consider using the Image datatype approach next time I have to do something like storing1 to thousands of selections.Thank you
Hi, I have a website and i am uploading the gif image to the database. i have used varchar(500) as the datatype and i am saving the file in the webserver so the path to it c:intepub....a.gif
my upload table has the folliwing feilds UploadId Int Identity, Description, FileName, DiskPath varchar(500), weblocation varchar(500). I have a main sproc for the report where i am doing a inner join with other table to get the path of the gif..
So my question is how can i get a picture to show up on the report. . What kinda datatype the gif file should be stored in the database? If it is stored as a varchar how can i access it and what is best way to reference that particular.
Hi all, quick question. A while back I developed a website that allowed upload of photos. At the time, I used ASP and VBasic-behind and wrote code to store and retrieve all photos in an SQL database in binary format. I am looking at a new project, very similar, and was wondering if anybody had any idea how this method might compare to simply storing the image files on the server and using the database to simply point to their location. I am wondering how the two methods compare spped wise and hard drive space they may consume. Does anybody have any idea on a direct comparison?? Any benchmark tests anybody has seen or ran? Thanks all, Chris
