Does anyone know SQL 2005 have any improvement the performance (read/write) of image/text stored in table?
As my experience, saving the image/text in folder and using a pointer in sql table has the best performance in SQL 2000.
My situation is:
Cluster server, 4 processors, 6 G memory, instance have one database only.
We have a lot of data including image/text imported to SQL daily.
The import tool is a C# App. It inserts data to SQL row by row (open connection, inserting data, close connection through a loop)
In SQL 2000, we saved image/text in folder without any problem
Since upgrading to SQL 2005, we save the image/text in SQL table.
I got following in SQL ERRORLOG many times per day:
A significant part of sql server process memory has been paged out. This may result in performance degradation. Duration: 302 seconds.

I also get SQL server alert many times per day:
SQL Server Alert System: '020 - Fatal Error in current Process' occurred on XXX server
I told developer that they need to address this issue, but no one buys it because there is no problem in SQL 2000, neither is 2005. They ignore the changes they made.
I need your input:
It is storage issue (text/image in SQL table) or
It is loop issue or
Both or
Something else
I am using the 3-tiered architecture design (presentation, business laws, and data acess layers). I am stuck on how to send the image the user selects in the upload file control to the BLL and then to the DAL because the DAL does all the inserts into the database. I would like to be able to check the file type in the BLL to make sure the file being uploaded is indeed a picture. Is there a way I can send the location of the file to the BLL, check the filetype, then upload the file and have the DAL insert the image into the database? I have seen examples where people use streams to upload the file directly from their presentation layer, but I would like to keep everything seperated in the three classes if possible. I also wasn't sure what variable type the image would be in the function in the BLL that receive the image from the PL. If there are any examples or tips anyone can give me that would be appreciated.
Hello Everyone I am trying to write image files to sql server using the following code. I have recieved the following error message Failed to convert parameter value from a String to a Byte[].

Hi Guys, I created a Product database table using Visual Basic 2005 Express and SQL Server 2005 Express. I have just added a new column [Picture] 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 include image files into this column [Picture]? 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 accordingly?
I have a table tblImage with column ImageName as varchar(50) and picture as Image I am trying to Insert picture I have in C: drive into table using the following code Insert into tblImage (ImageName, Picture) Select 'Dog' as ImageName, Bulkcolumn from OPENROWSET(BULK N'C:dog1.jpg', SINGLE_BLOB) as picture I am getting error message. Can I insert image into table through query. Thanks in advance.
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.
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(*) ...

'Dim myCom As SqlCommand
'Dim conn As New SqlConnection
'Dim drr As SqlDataReader
'Dim image As System.Drawing.Image
'sel2 = "select * from attach where att_desc = '" & DropDownList1.SelectedItem().Text & "' and doc_code = " & w_doc_code & " and subcode = " & w_doc_subcode & " and doc_num= " & w_doc_num & " "
This just happened today and I dont know why. I have a database on a SQL server 2005 database, that has a table called photos. It contains image data, but not the column says <Unable to read data>. But before that I get an error when I try to execute the table to retreive the data. The error is below. SQL Execution Error:Executed SQL statement: SELECT ID, AlbumID, Caption, BytesOriginal, BytesFull, BytesThumb FROM PhotosError Source: System.DataError Message: Invalid attempt to Read when reader is closed. This happens with SQL Server Management Studio, and Visual Studio 2005 when I try to access it. I tried two computers so its not that. Any help or insight would be appreciated.
Hi everyone, I have an odd problem. I have a generic upload/download ASP.net page that allows the upload and download of and type of file.

hi, I want to Display the image records of each employee of having 10 images of each.the number of records are more then one billion....... please provid me the optimized query that can i used in SP and display in Gridview.
I want to add a product photo in jpeg format to a products table. I'm storing the image of the product in separate jpeg files located in a folder on the same server that houses SQL Server. I don't want to store the photo directly in the table. I just want to reference the file location of the jpeg photo in a record.
Can someone provide me with code I need to add to the photo column for each record in the products table in order to reference the location of the jpeg photo associated with that record?
Subsequently, I want the photo to pop up in SQL Server Reporting Services product report.
I'm using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 to design reports. Is there any way to use one single image as background for a whole report-page? I only managed to set seperate background images for page header, body and footer, so the only 2 possibilities to solve this problem would be to either
* divide the image into 3 parts so that they fit exactly to the page parts or * not use any page header and footer.
Is there another possibility that I've missed?
Any help is highly appreciated! Thanks in advance,
I have learned lots of informative thing from your forums. I have little problem regarding “Display image from SQL Server on ASP.NET� I have done it and image display on my page from SQL Server. I have cleared you here I have adopt two different methods which are following for displaying picture.
but in both above methods I have faced little problem when image display on my page all other information can not display and I also want to display picture on my specific location on the page. My second question is can use any web control like “Image1� to display image from SQL Server where my pictures are stored.

In my asp.net application I have a local report with an image control in thedetail row of the table and the Value attribute set as="File://" & Fields!FQPhotoFileName.ValueThe first row in the table always shows the wrong image and it's always thesame wrong image. The problem is there even when I change the sort order orthe criteria for the underlying dataset. For example, I ran a small testthat populated the dataset with 2 rows and 2 images. When I sort by anycolumn (e.g. ID) in ascending ascending order the ID=1 row (the 1st row)shows the wrong image and the ID=2 row shows the correct image. When I rerunthe report sorting in descending order the ID=2 row (which is now the 1strow) shows the wrong image and the ID=1 shows the correct image.Any suggestions?

I'd like to display our logo image from a local file rather than embedding it. RS doesnt seem to like it when I use the local hard drive as a URL for locating the .bmp image (I just enter c:filename.bmp). Is there a simple recipe for either relocating this file locally to a place (eg IIS) that RS will consider a valid URL or leaving it where it is but still entering the URL in a way that will allow RS to get it at run time from the c: drive?

Hi there! how to insert an image to sql db using FileUpload Control? 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!
Looking for any help someone can offer on adding an image to SQL.Working on what will hopefully be quite a big site and the user will be asked for some details, one of which will be an image (jpg, gif or bmp).Rather than add the image to a folder on the server, a folder which could end up being quite large, I was hoping someone could give me some help, suggestions or even point me towards a tutorial on how to store the image in an SQL database.Any helps appreciated, thanks :)
