How Do You Load .JPG Files Into A Image Datatype Column
Sep 9, 2006
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.

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!

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?

Hello,
Here's my need :
In one directory there's several excels file. Theses file have the same structure :
col : LOOKID, LOOKNAME, ASMPID, ASMPNAME, LOOKTYPE, LTYP_NAME, PAR_TYPE, PTYP_NAME, PARAMETER, VALUE.
The problem is that the cell format of the PARAMETER col. is different bewteen excel files. It could be date, numeric, ... The col destination in sqlservr database is Varchar(10).
I've created the ssis package with a ForEach Loop, and in the ForEach loop I've created a Data Flow Task.
In the data Flow Task I've created an excell source file (using excel file with col PARAMETER in date format) with an OLE DB destination.
When I launch the package on the same excel file as the one using to create Excel Source object it's OK, no errors, and data in the sql table are OK.
But when I launch the package on Excel file with col. PARAMETER in numeric format, there's no execution errors, but in the destination table the value of the PARAMETER col. is transform in date format.
I tried to change in Excel source object the datatype of the input PARAMETER col, but I've got some compilations errors. It seems that SSIS recognize automaticaly excel source data type col. But may be I did something wrong in the excel source settings ?
Is there a way to force the excel source datatype with varchar(10) ?
I've also tried to do the treatment with an script task but my vb.net knowledge isn't enought to do that.
If you have some suggestions, I'm listening.
Thanks
Luffy

I was confused on what to do on a Image datatype.
I had created a dummy database name "DUMMY_DB"
On that database I created a table name TB1 having a fields name: Picture as image
Text as text
through queries I insert a value to each field but the problem I can't insert a value on column Picture.
What value would I insert on the field "Picture"
Is it the directory where the picture was stored??

Is there any method to find out the size of an image datatype currently in the database. For example I have 2 tables that contain the same image, but the archive table is not displaying the same as the main. I am thinking the image file was corrupted somehow but don't know how to check this out.
Any ideas?

I have a table with an IMAGE datatype. Without using xp_cmdshell and bcp, is it possible to get this image to disk? We do have the OLE procedures enabled so I can use those to create in instance of the Scripting.FileSystemObject and write to disk but how do I convert the image datatype to something I can store on disk and it actually be a readable format? If it helps, we only store this particular field in JPEG format in the database.

Hi all,I have a database with 40GB of binary objects stored in image columnsin two tables.Our database server is also used for another 15 databases.SQL Server caches the image-column, causing the cache-hit-ratio todramatically decrease, since fetching a couple of binaries from theimage-column uses up thememory, and throws other cached objects out of the cache.Is there a way, and could someone tell me how, to avoid caching ofspecificcolumns/tables?Regards///Magnus

I have a column called "Image" in a table that stores all the user information. Image holds the data for the user's badge photo. I'm currently working on a project to move some of the data from the users table to more relevant tables. With the SQL script I wrote to copy the data into the new tables the image data appears to not have been transferred correctly. I had tried storing the image data into a variable of type varbinary(8000) before inserting it back in. Is there a certain datatype that must be used to store the data when reading from a column of data type "image" and then inserting it into another column of data type "image" without getting truncation or corruption of the data?

We used SSIS to move data from a table in SQL 2000 which had a column with the image datatype to a column in a table in SQL 2005 that has a datatype of varbinary(max). No errors were produced from the SSIS package.
There were a number of records where the DATALENGTH of the column with the image datatype was greater than 8000. Was the data truncated for these records?
This is probably a very elementary question, but I am not familiar with the application or the data.
Below is the source table in SQL 2000 and a select count(*) ...
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[LSCHANNELCUTDATA](
[UIDCHANNELCUT] [numeric](19, 0) NOT NULL,
[VALUECODES] [image] NULL,
...
selectcount(*)
from[LSCHANNELCUTDATA]
whereDATALENGTH ( [VALUECODES] )> 8000

Hi everyone.
I have a field that is image datatype. That table is included in a snapshot replication. When I try to update that field - on the publication server, which is the same as distributor server - if the image is too big (in size), an error message appears. When I try to update with images that has less size it works. If I take out the subscriptions, it works for every image size.
Any ideas?
