How Do I Store Images (like GIFs) In Sql Server 2005?

Jan 2, 2007

I have a web server running fine together with an sql 2005 db. I use asp as my web server programming language and want to be able to display images that are stored in the database.

My question of course is how do I put images, for example an image called "image1.gif" into the database?

After having stored the images in the db, I guess that the are displayed on my web pages the same way as all text information (by writing something like <%=rs("image_column")%> ).... Anyway first I need help with how to store imgs in the database...

Looking For Opinions.....want To Use SQL Server To Store Images

Apr 25, 2006

I have a client who wants to be able to upload images to his website for his customers to access.  It will probably max out at 100 images a month...so not a huge amount of data.  I am using asp.net 2.0 and SQL Server 2005. 
Does anyone have thoughts or opinions on why I should or should not take this approach?

Photos In SQL Server: Store As Images Or Strings With Path && Filename?

Apr 4, 2008

Hi, 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.

What Is The Better Way To Store Images In MSSQL 2000?

Jan 2, 2004

hi 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!

Should I Store Images In The Database Or The Filesystem?

Jun 7, 2006

Images, PDFs, word documents, etc..., will it affect the performance of my sql if I stored them in it as blob objects? Or it's better to use the filesystem instead and just store file paths in my sql?

Images - Store In A Database Or File System?

Jun 19, 2007

I 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:PictureProductGrocery0052745.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, 2008

I€™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?

Imports System.Drawing
Imports System.IO

Public Sub InsertImage(ByVal pFilename As String)

Try

Dim lImage As Image
Dim lBA() As Byte
Dim lSQL As String
Dim lQuery As Alcon.SQLServer.Database.clsQuery
Dim lParameters As New Alcon.SQLServer.Database.clsParameters

lImage = Image.FromFile(pFilename)

ConvertImageToByteArray(lImage, lBA)

' Initialization
lQuery = New Alcon.SQLServer.Database.clsQuery(mConnection)

lSQL = ""
lSQL += "INSERT INTO [TBL_PCL_LENS_DATA]("
lSQL += "[SerialNumber], "
lSQL += "[ProcessedDate], "
lSQL += "[CartonLabelImage]) "
lSQL += "VALUES ("
lSQL += "@SerialNumber, "
lSQL += "@ProcessedDate, "
lSQL += "@CartonLabelImage "
lSQL += ")"

lParameters.Add("@SerialNumber", SqlDbType.VarChar, ParameterDirection.Input, mSerialNumber)
lParameters.Add("@ProcessedDate", SqlDbType.DateTime, ParameterDirection.Input, Now)
lParameters.Add("@CartonLabelImage", SqlDbType.Image, ParameterDirection.Input, lBA)

' Execute query
lQuery.Execute(lSQL, lParameters)

Catch ex As Exception
Throw
End Try

End Sub

ConvertByteArrayToImage(ByVal pBA() As Byte, ByRef pImage As Image)

Try

' Declaration
Dim lMS As MemoryStream

' Initialization
lMS = New MemoryStream(pBA, 0, pBA.Length)
lMS.Write(pBA, 0, pBA.Length)
lMS.Position = 0

' Create image
pImage = Image.FromStream(lMS, True)

Catch ex As Exception
Throw
End Try

End Sub

ConvertImageToByteArray(ByVal pImage As Image, ByRef pBA() As Byte)

Try

' Declaration
Dim lBM As Bitmap
Dim lBR As BinaryReader
Dim lMS As New MemoryStream

' Initialization
lBM = New Bitmap(pImage)
lBM.Save(lMS, Imaging.ImageFormat.Png)
lBR = New BinaryReader(lMS)

' Create byte array
pBA = lBR.ReadBytes(lMS.Length)

Catch ex As Exception
Throw
End Try

End Sub

Sql Server 2005 And Images Suggestions???

May 24, 2006

hi,
i am working on a website that will be storing millions of images. i have read various advantages/disadvantages of saving the images on sql vs. file system.
i would like to keep all the data in one location (sql server in this case), so what i had in mind is following:i am going to save the original image data on a sql server. now, the website user can view a (multiple) thumbnail version(s) of the original image and the orig. image itself, so instead of getting the original image from sql and resizing it everytime, i was going to create a file(s) on a sep. server with the resized image(s) that would be called instead (think of it as file-cache). this would reduce the load on the sql server drastically since all the thumbnails (and orig. image) would have the file version of themselfes and would be loaded from the separate server. this way i could have all my data on a sql server, have thumbnail images on an "image server" and everything should be fine with the exception of the increased disk space. Also, i would not have to worry about having 2 backups since i have all the data on sql and each image/thumbnail would be file-cached on it's first call. if the file-cache of the image is not available for whatever reason i would just load straight from the db.
i would appreciate any suggestions on this.
thanks :)

Storing Images In Sql Server 2005

Jun 5, 2006

Hi There

I have not had much luck finding info in BOL.

I have a directory with many images, i need to load these images into sql server.We want to staore them in the database instead of the file server.

What is the best way to do this? TSQL (i am hoping), .NET code or maybe even SSIS ?

I have been reading what i can find in BOL basically all i know so far is that image data type will be no more in the future and i should use a varbinary(max) data type.
Basically i need a good link or something that can demonstrate how one can go about loading images into Sql Server 2005.



Thanx

Load Images Into Sql Server 2005

Jun 5, 2006

Hi There

I have not had much luck finding info in BOL for tsql or SSIS that tells one how to load images on the file system into sql server 2005.

All i have really been able to find is that IMAGE data type will not be used in future and that one should use a varbinary(max) data type.

I am thinking of using a for each file loop in SSIS, but then how do i load the images (.tif) into a sql server database table ? Perhaps i need to use a sql task with the filepath , or an active x script.

Anyway if anyone knows how i can load images from the file system into sql server 2005, please let me know.

Thanx
