I need to store a few thousand images in a sql server database.
I've managed to write the asp code to retrieve images that are already in the pubs database, but haven't been able to find a satisfactory way of inserting new pictures in the first place.
At the moment we're using Notes and its great 'cos you just cut and paste them in. But now we need to take them all out and put them into sql server it's proving to be a nightmare. Any clues anyone??
I have inherited a VS 2005 database with a table that has a column of type IMAGE. I need to change the image for one of the rows in the table. I have the new image in a *.PNG file on my C: drive. What is the correct method for inserting this file into the IMAGE column.
I am manually replicating parts of a SQL Server CE database (running windows mobile 5.0) to a centralized SQL Server 2000 database.
My program is throwing an exception whenever I try to insert an image data type into the 2000 server from the PDA. I am using parameterized queries.
Error is as follows: [error] System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.OnError() at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlInternalConnection.OnError() at System.Data.SqlClient.TdsParser.ThrowExceptionAndWarning() at System.Data.SqlClient.TdsParser.Run() at System.Data.SqlClient.ExecuteReader() at System.Data.SqlClient.ExecuteNonQuery() at PDASync.Database.ExecuteIDRemote() [/error]
The code for my ExecuteIDRemote method works fine for other queries. It also works if I remove the image column from the offending query.
Hello,What's the best way to store files of an arbitrary size in a SQLServer / MSDE database? Some files will be text, but most should bebinary (images, audio, and video). I'd like to be able to store allthe files directly in the database so that backing everything up is asingle operation (I can do this, right?). Data retrieval speed is notoverly critical, as the code in question will be running on the samemachine as the database and will only have a single instance of theclient application. Any advice and/or hyperlinks to whitepapers on thesubject would be appreciated.Thanks,Will GantJoin Bytes!
we have tables with many image columns. We fill these image columns via ODBC and SQLPutData as described in MSDN etc (using SQL_LEN_DATA_AT_EXEC(...), calling SQLParamData and sending the data in chunks of 4096 bytes when receiving SQL_NEED_DATA).
The SQLPutData call fails under the following conditions with sqlstate 08S01
- The database resides on SQL Server 2000 - The driver is SQL Native Client - The table consists e.g. of one Identity column (key column) and nine image columns - The data to be inserted are nine blocks of data with the following byte size:
1: 6781262 2: 119454
3: 269 4: 7611
5: 120054
6: 269
7: 8172
8: 120054
9: 269 The content of the data does not matter, (it happens also if only zero bytes are written), nor does the data origin (file or memory).
All data blocks including no 7 are inserted. If the first chunk of data block 8 should be written with SQLPutData the function fails and the connection is broken. There are errors such as "broken pipe" or "I/O error" depending on the used network protocol.
If data no 7 consists of 8173 bytes instead of 8172 all works again. (Changing the 4096 chunk size length does not help)
Has anybody encountered this or a similar phenomenon?
I just want to store pic.bmp file in server using image datatype but don't getting how to do that .. i want to know about both the actions storing and retrieving from the image data type.. like
create table amit ( im image, );
insert into values ()... select * form Amit will it work...
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.
This is my first time to create web site by using Visual web developer express 2005. I want to create company's activity member profile web page by use sql database. But I don't know how to create SQL DB and Table and I don't know code for connect to sql server, code for upload image files, data file, and code for displays images. So please tell me how to do it step by step. (I use VS web developer express 2005 with vb.net) Thank you
Found a lot of tutorials about inserting images into a database. Every tutorial was given in ASP.NET 1.1 and not in 2.0. Does anyone have a tutorial about inserting images into a database with 2.0 and VB??Thanks
Hello all, I'm very new to web development and I have hit a snag in my project that I am hoping someone can help me with. I am trying to allow users to upload photos into my database using the formview control and the fileupload control. I have specified the data type as image, but when I try to upload a photo or just pass a null value I get the following error. Operand type clash: sql_variant is incompatible with image Does anyone know why this might be? Thanks very much. Matt Downey
Hi, how do I go about inserting image into the SQL Compact Edition Database? This is something similar to the Photo Column in the Employees Table in Northwind Database.
I have set the Photo Column properties as 'image', but all that appears is a white icon with a red x. How do I change this to my own image?
I need to write codes to access many image files and wave files and display them on the webpage. Both of these files are stored on the server (as many experts in this forum adviced) and their locations are in the SQL server database. About the wav files, I think I will have to convert them to MP3 first for fast delivery on internet. Since I am a newbie, any help would be appreciated. Thanks,
Hello, Could someone give me the code for inserting an image into the database. I have the field declared in my table. And the image needs a type value because it receives the message "nvarchar is incompatible with image"
Hello, I was wondering, how do I insert a file in an Image type column from the SQL server 2000 corporative administrator? I have a table that contains information about all the programs we run here, and I have a column that I set to image type, I want to put the icon of my programs there..
I have a problem with bcp utility. Out-bound queries work but in-bound ones do not. Here's an example of in bound query which should insert image into table called 'Image'. There's a id column and image column in Image-table.
C:TempSQL>bcp GAMEDB.dbo.Image in mb.jpg -U xxx -P xxx -T And here's what bcp prompts me with:
SQLState = 08001, NativeError = 2Error = [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [2].SQLState = HYT00, NativeError = 0Error = [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Login timeout expiredSQLState = 08001, NativeError = 2Error = [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure maybe caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allowremote connections.
Hi All, I have a form (asp website with the default.aspx and default.aspx.cs) which I use to connect to the SQL Server 2005 database and insert, update,get and delete data to and from it. In the table I have a column called Picture to insert a photo (usually bmp files) which I declared as a varbinary(max). ID is the primary key and is an int (i tried it to be numeric & varchar). I am trying to insert data into the table using a form with this syntax: SqlConnection enter_conn = new SqlConnection("user id=;" + "password=;server=servername;" + "Trusted_Connection=yes;" + "database=Member Profiles; " + "connection timeout=30"); enter_conn.Open(); string insertSql = "Insert dbo.Details(ID,Last_Name,First_Name,Middle_Initial,Project, Organization,Manager,Current_Skills,Biography,Hobbies, Picture) Select 1001, 'ABC','XYZ','R',' Website Development','ACT',LKM','ASP.Net, C#.Net, SQL Server 2005, SharePoint, Java, ',' developing the new website for ACT using SharePoint and SQL Server 2005', ' Singing, Listening to Music, Dancing, Cooking, Swimming', BulkColumn from Openrowset( Bulk 'C:\photos\rose.bmp', Single_Blob) as Picture";
SqlCommand myCommand = new SqlCommand(insertSql, enter_conn); int i = myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
I have no data in the table and am doing the first insert. Though the data gets inserted I am getting this exception: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_Details'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.Details'.

What are the negatives, challenges and issues going to be if we choose to store 300-1000 GB worth of image, xml and PDF files (avg size 1 mb) in SQL server 2005 db.
I have a directory of files that I would like to upload with some datato a table so that I can store the files in the db. I'm not trying toparse files into rows, I want to stick the actual file in the column.Is there some kind of insert script, or bulk copy that I can use?I have about 150 docs and I would rather not go through the whole app,pick the file, upload it. etc.thx,M@
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.
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 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 When images are uploaded and stored directly into a sql database as binary data (eg in the club starter kit) how can those images be accessed and displayed. When I open the images table in VWD and select display data, the cells holding the image data hold a <binary data> tag. What I want to be able to do is get at that data, or actually get at the image so that it is displayed. My reason is this, at the moment the only way to access the images in the sql database after they have been uploaded is to log into the website and view them as an administrator of the site. It would be much simpler if I could access the database directly and view the contents of the images table. Any ideas? Thanks
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.
I am currently trying to import CSV files into a sql database table. While I have managed to get the majority of the import to work, some of the records are failing to import due validation errors. What I would like to know is, is it possible to separate out the records that failed to import from the CSV file? The CSV file is quite large so I am unable to locate these records by hand. Thanks
I have a problem. I need to insert an unknown number of xml files in a database (all files are always in the same folder), in different tables, each file has the same name that the corresponding table. For example:
Files Tables
user.xml user
purchase.xml purchase
...and so
but the number of files is not always the same, I mean, it can be 6 one day and only 4 the next day. Can I insert the data in the xml files into the tables with a Foreach Loop Container or any other way?? If it's possible, how?
Hay Friend's Can u plese send me the way how to save image in sql server and display that images in datagrid or other control also like Image control or Image control Button?? Plese send the coding in C#. Thank's Amit
