Image Type Storing
May 6, 2000
1. How can I upload new pictures into the database through the browser.
2. Can you describe how the new picture of the product would be uploaded into the database.
3. How do you handle different formats that pictures come in gif, tif, jpeg,
etc.
4. How can you say that SQL server does support images well, because on
microsoft site they loaded up the satellite data of the earth into sqlserver
which is only picture data

Hey all,
Just starting to investigate this. I need to store digital pictures in my database for use in claims and disputes. I have played a bit with the image datatype but notice that one picture takes up 1Mb as a TIFF and 3Mb as a JPEG. Does anybody work with this stuff and if you do what is the best picture format to use in regards to keeping clarity but minimizing size used in the db. Is there any load conversion routines that would shrink the size of the file.
Any suggestions or comments on this topic are appreciated.
Thx. Kelsey

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.

Hi all,
I have got this issue when I am trying to store an Image on a database through a stored procedure. I give you the code in C# and the stored procedure
Code Snippet
//I have got these two variables with the ID(foreign key) and the array of bytes of the Image (the values are OK)
int ID_Inmueble
byte[] imagen -- dimension 26246
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(...) //The conexion works fine (I tested it).
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
SqlParameter[] param = new SqlParameter[2];
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
cmd.CommandText = "InsertaUnaFoto";
cmd.Connection = conn;
param[0] = new SqlParameter("@ID_Inmueble", SqlDbType.BigInt);
param[0].Value = ID_Inmueble;
param[1] = new SqlParameter("@Foto", SqlDbType.Image);
param[1].Value = imagen;
cmd.Parameters.AddRange(param);
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(conexion.GetSqlCommand());
da.Fill(ds); //here I got the error
The stored Procedure
T
Code Snippet
ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.InsertaUnaFoto
(@ID_Inmueble bigint,
@Foto Image)
AS
INSERT into Fotos (ID_Inmueble, Foto) values (@ID_Inmueble, @Foto)

I have a very large array of floating point numbers which I am tryingtostore in an image type field. I am using the dataset class todirectly enter the data but am having trouble trying to get this typeinto the image field. I guess the question is how do I get a largefloating point array into an image (byte)field of a database using thedataset class for new row entry.Thanks

Hi,
I'm storing thumbnails in SQL CE and accessing them from my WPF application. The save seems to take place ok and there's binary data in the image field however when it comes back out it appears to be corrupted somehow. Can someone have a look at the code below and verify I'm doing the conversion correctly before storing in my image field? Thanks!
- Roland
Code Snippet
private byte[] GetArrayOfPixels(BitmapSource bitmapsource)
{
Int32 stride = bitmapsource.PixelWidth * bitmapsource.Format.BitsPerPixel / 8;
Int32 ByteSize = stride * bitmapsource.PixelHeight * bitmapsource.Format.BitsPerPixel / 8;
byte[] arrayofpixel = new byte[ByteSize];
bitmapsource.CopyPixels(arrayofpixel, stride, 0);
return arrayofpixel;
}
//I assign the byte array returned to my datatable like so:
MediaAsset asset = new MediaAsset(){
Thumbnail =
new Binary(GetArrayOfPixels(Thumbnail as BitmapSource));
}
//then I insert it into my tables collection
myDB.MediaAssets.InsertOnSubmit(asset);
//and submit the change
myDB.SubmitChanges();
Am I not getting that pixel array correctly for storage?
Thanks for the help!

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.
Thanks!

I am using FileUpload control in ASP.net 2.0 to upload files and store them into SQL server database as an image. I am fine with MS office files, image files and etc. We have Product Center (Proe) engineering software to configure parts and the files generated through this software have PLT extension when I store these files, the file type is Plian/text. I am using Fileupload.PostedFile.Content to get the file type. How can I store PLT, TIF files in SQL server? Please help.

Let's say a user profile page on a website contains a description about a car that the user wants to sell. The user could try to be wise and write something very short like "buy my car" or the user could write a very lengthy description of his car to convince the buyer to make the purchase.
Or somebody creates a thread in a forum or replies to a topic (much like what we do here).
In these instances, what is the most efficient manner of storing the high-character content in these examples with SQL Server 2005? Keep in mind that a user could make a 2-character post like "OK" or could write a long reply or create a huge profile. So the data type has to be efficient and flexible. Judging from the list of available types in my Express 2005, I would guess the varchar(MAX) or the text data types could be used. Or would I use some other data type?
TIA.

I have a page for inventory price entry that I have used for a while. Now I need to add a checkbox for whether or not the price includes shipping. I added the checkbox to the form and had it posting 'True' or 'False' to the database as nchar(10) data type. When the gridview pulls up the data, I have the Item Template like this, so it shows a disabled checkbox either checked or not: <asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBox2" runat="server" Checked='<%# Convert.ToBoolean(Eval("Shipping")) %>' Enabled="False" /> This works fine for displaying the values, but I copied the checkbox to the Edit Item Template, but did not disabled this one. At first, I didn't change the databindings, leaving it Convert.ToBoolean(Eval("Shipping")), which allowed me to go into Edit mode, change the checkbox, then click update. At which point it would return to it's original state (meaning Update wasn't actually updating). However if I change the databindings, then the page won't display. I checked the SQL statement, and sure enough, it has theUpdateCommand="UPDATE [PartsTable] ... SET [Shipping] = @Shipping... WHERE [PartID] = @original_PartIDAfter fiddling with the sql statement, now I get Object cannot be cast from DBNull to other types. I think that means that the checkbox is sending a null value to the database.Any insight as to how to get this to work is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I have been asked to write a piece of code that will insert an image object into a database using a stored procedure and the Microsoft Enterprise Library. Has anyone done this before? Do you have any code examples about how to update a database with an image datatype that needs to be chunked, etc...
In this instance, I need to open up a word document and save the contents as an image in a database.

hi, i'm a student doing my final year project. during the user requirements stage, my client proposed storing all files (.doc, .jpg, .mp3) into the sql database. i found out that the way to do this is to write the files as binary data in order to store them in the database. my concern is will this data storage overload the database server? i read somewhere that the retrieval of data as binary data is the same as retrieving text. but the estimation of users is around 27,000.. if i'm not wrong, the sql database server should be MS SQL Server 2005, or at least 2003.

Hi,
I was wondering if someone can help me with is problem.
I have uploaded word docs to the db which is fine. The problem is viewing. I can view then as word documents but the boss does not want the files opened in word.
Is it possable to retrieve the file from from the db and put into say a textbox or lable.
I can see the letter P using this code
Dim Doc() As Byte = New Byte(Convert.ToInt32(0)) {}
Dim bytesReceived As Long = DBContent.GetBytes(0, 0, Doc, 0, Doc.Length)
Dim encoding As ASCIIEncoding = New ASCIIEncoding
lblTest.Text = encoding.GetString(Doc, 0, Convert.ToInt32(bytesReceived)).ToString
Can any help
Thanks
