Hi , i want to save a employee image in my database. I have chosen field type as varbinary. Now is there any way to save image directly (like other data e.g text,no) into table column using Enterprise Manager ?????
Using ASP.net I need to be able to save and retrieve PDF Files in SQL.I believe the best way to do this is through a BLOB datatype.I have been searching (without luck) for a tutorial/code sample explaining how to do this.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Chrisp.s. I know many prefer to store the files on the server and simply store pointers to the files in SQL, but I need to store the actual files in SQL.
Hi all, Can someone please brief me on how to save 'pdf' files(there are about 15 files) into a SQL database and retrieve/open it from a datagrid? I have about 15 pdf files on my webserver and need to save it in the SQL database, so every pdf file saved in the database will have a primary key and the file will be saved either as 'ntext' or 'binary' type...I just have this rough idea. If someone has a ready code in VB.net then nothing better( i know thats a shortcut :) but it will help me like a tutorial. C# code will do too, I can then convert the code to Vb.net Thanks a ton.
Hello:I didn't find any documentation that notes save point names are casesensitive, but I guess they are...Stored Proc to reproduce:/* START CODE SNIPPET */If Exists (Select * From sysobjects Where Type = 'P' and Name ='TestSaveTran')Drop Procedure dbo.TestSaveTranGoCreate Procedure dbo.TestSaveTranAsBeginDeclare@tranCount int--Transaction HandlingSelect @tranCount = @@TRANCOUNTIf (@tranCount=0)Begin Tran localtranElseSave Tran localtranBegin Try--Simulate Error While ProcessingRAISERROR('Something bad happened', 16, 1)/*If this proc started transaction then commit it,otherwise return and let caller handle transaction*/IF (@tranCount=0)Commit Tran localtranEnd TryBegin Catch--Rollback to save pointRollback Tran LOCALTRAN --<< NOTE case change--Log Error--Reraise ErrorEnd CatchEndGo--Execute Stored ProcExec dbo.TestSaveTran/*Should receive the following message:Cannot roll back LOCALTRAN. No transaction or savepoint of that namewas found.*//* END CODE SNIPPET */What is really strange, if there is a transaction open, then no erroris thrown. So if you execute as so:/* START CODE SNIPPET */Begin Tran--Execute Stored ProcExec dbo.TestSaveTran/* END CODE SNIPPET */There is no "Cannot roll back LOCALTRAN...." message.Questions:1-)Can someone confirm save point names are case sensitve and this isnot happening because of a server setting?2-)Is this a logic error that I am not seeing in the example codeabove?We have changed our code to store the save point name in a variable,which will hopefully mitigate this "problem".Thx.
I have an SSIS package that creates a new file and saves results into that file. However, the requirement has it that I need to create this file on a server residing in a different domain. How can I achieve this in an SSIS package when it is scheduled as a job?
I know this is a very minor gripe, but I cannot find any way to get SQL Server Management Studio to stop prompting me to save queries. I've poked through all the options without success, but it doesn't seem possible that they would have left this out.
Hello -- I'm building an app that will allow users to create their own photo galleries. At this point, I'm planning on storing all photos as byte arrays in SQL server image fields. Besides the organizational benefit, is there a space benefit to doing this? That is, if I have 1MB of .jpg's, will those same images take up less than 1MB of file space within the database? One of the reasons I ask is that most hosting plans out there seem to offer more "normal" disk space than is allocated for the database, so I'm trying to make a best plan to accommodate what will probably end up being the biggest disk space consumer in my app (the photos, that is). Any other recommendations re: this scenario (hosting, best practices) are appreciated. TIA, Eric
I'm just starting off in SSIS and have a question that I can't find an answer to...
I'm loading in a number of files (in separate Data Flows) and performing some transformations on them before merging them back together. What I'm not sure about is what I should be doing with the data at the end of each of my "Import Data From XXXX Flat File" Data Flows. Am I better off using OLE DB Destinations (or SQL Server Destinations) and saving this intermediate data to temporary tables, or am I better off using a Raw File Destinations and saving this intermediate data to files? Or is there, perhaps, a better option that I'm currently unaware of?
If the Raw File Destination is the way to go, then isn't there a maintenance issue with cleaning up all the files created? And will there not be a management issue to ensure that there is sufficient disc space available on the drive you are saving to?
I'm a bit confused and overwhelmed by SSIS at the moment, so any help would be much appreciated!
I am new to sql sever management studio express, but a long time query analyzer user. This is a very basic question.
I want to change the default directory in sql server management studio express so that when I go to save a query, it is already pointed to the correct one. Where do I change that?
I've created a linked server (and set up the corresponding schema.ini file) in order to perform bulk-inserts from some CSV text files into SQL tables (from my standpoint the text files are just for reading purposes). The linked server works fine (I can select the data in the files without a problem).
Now the question: is possible to automatically detect when one or more of those files change in order to start the import process automatically? Something like having a trigger created on the CSV files Or there's no easy way to do that so I have, to say something, to create a Job that periodically checks if the files have changed programatically (say, recording each file's timestamp everytime is imported and comparing the recorded value with the current one, or whatever)?
I proposed on a new server that we separate Data Files, Log Files, tempDB, Backups, etc. onto separate LUNS on a SAN with High Speed Solid State Drives.I was told that with the new technology with solid state SAN's that it would decrease performance and that it did not work the same way as it did when you had RAID 5's etc.I thought that if things were cared out correctly by a SAN Administrator they would know how to configure for optimal performance.
It works remotely if I run it via command prompt. But when I add this to a TSQL job on my remote SQL instance, it runs without deleting anything. What I'm missing?

When I am trying to save byte[] of an image to SQL server which is having an image column, I am getting an error like this " A severe error occured on the current command. The results, if any, should be discarded.". I am trying to save through a stored procedure. In the sp also, the datatype is image.
Hi im trying to save the location of images to a sql server db in the form of a url, i am trying to find out what datatype this comes under here.

Hello All, I have a problem with my database. It appears that it does not save the passwords for a login account that I have created. Every time I put in the password (using the Management Studio) it looks like the new password has been accepted. But when I look at the password using properties, the password is different. Any ideas? Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi, I want to upload a file (e.g. .xls, .pdf, .doc) and save into the Sql Server 2000 database through the web interface, and then to download this file. Any idea???
Hi,on my dev-machine i am running SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition.Now i have to do a project for a client who is on a server with ASP.NET 1.1 and SQL Server 2000.Is there a way i can build his database in 2005 and export or whatever it as SQL Server 2000?I don't really like the idea of installing 2000 and 2005 side by side on the same machine.Thank you very much in advance.Tjerk Heringa
Hi there,Not sure if this is the right place to ask. I have a custom object in ASP.NET called TransactionResponseObject.And I want to save this object AS IS - in one piece in SQL Server 2005 (instead of taking each and every property of it and individually saving it into separate columsn of a table in the database).Question:1). What type of SQL Server 2005 datatype will I be using in this case ?2). Is there a good and easy tutorial on converting a custom object into XML format? and perhaps saving the xml into the database (I feel it's just an extra step - meaning extra processing which i want to avoid).ThanksTorontoMale
I previously installed SQL 7.0 on my machine. The name of the Server was DEVELOPMENT. Unfortunately I needed to change the computer name, but I had already created my databases and did not want to lose the information. It was suggested that I should simply change the computer name and reinstall SQl. I changed the name to DEVSERVER. This seemed to work fine. Now I am having a problem when I try to create a DTS package on the renamed server from another SQL server . I receive the following error. "A connection could not be established to Development. Specified SQLserver not found" The server which is now called Devserver, is registered on the server I am creating the package from, however the message seems to imply that the server I'm connecting to is still called Developement and cannot be found. Any ideas would be appreciated.
I am working on query performance and tuning. I want to save current statistics for the latter use. do SQL Server provide any utility or command (like exec dbms_stats in ORACLE and OPTDIAG in sybase) to do this? thanks
