hi
im developing a student database application in VB & Sql Sever2k. to prepare the identitiy card for students, their photos must be stored in a separate table. can any one tell how to store and retrieve photos in the database ?
thanks in advance......
I heard that you can store photos with the row in the new SQL Server (aphoto data type?). Is this true? If so, is there a speed advantage ifyou have an e-commerce platform with thousands of products?Help appreciated.Thanks,Frank*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***

Hi,
I am developing an application which will take photos using Windows mobile and upload those pictures in the main server using merge replication .
Is there any rule of thumb that suggests the size of photos that has to get merged? Like the number of photos , size of photos , quality of photos , the practical transfer rate over GPRS technology in U.S ?
Please advise...

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi, for my photo album database I'm trying to decide whether to store the actual photos as images in the db or whether to leave them in file directories with just the path & filename in the db. As a beginner in this field I don't know how either of these options compare (e.g. in terms of performance, complexity, flexibility and maintainablity) so any advice on the pros and cons of each would be appreciated.

The existing code is this:
SELECT top 15 pnumber,pcomment,puser FROM photocomments order by pdate DESC
So the latest comment left was for photo #210879 from user "Cla" (redacted user names). The 2nd newest comment would be for photo #211072 from a member named "mo". pdate is a date field
However for the script I have coded I don't want all of the photo comments to show up. This is because I use access levels based on the type of location (higher levels mean more restricted galleries). I check the access levels as I go through the recordsets.
I use this method to get the top 15 comments:
SELECT top 15 pnumber,pcomment,puser FROM photocomments order by pdate DESC
Now I have to use two other tables to determine the access level. Since PHOTOCOMMENTS is just a list of photo #'s and the people who left comments for those photos, I need to:
a) determine what location the photo is from and
b) determine the access level of that location
I use: select creator,access from locations where id=(select dir from photos where id="&pnumber&")"
This is a two step process as you can see. The first part is:
select dir from photos where id=(pnumber)
ID is the same value as pnumber seen in PHOTOCOMMENTS. That is to say PHOTOS.ID = PHOTOCOMMENTS.PNUMBER
If I haven't confused you yet, the executed code for the first example would be:
select dir from photos where id=210879
which would get me a value for DIR. DIR is the location number which would be:
select creator,access from locations where id=(dir value)
Just to simplify it a bit....
There are three tables (shown below)
PHOTOCOMMENTS
PHOTOS
LOCATIONS
I need to: SELECT top 15 pnumber,pcomment,puser FROM photocomments order by pdate DESC (first table shown)
but then also
select creator,access from locations (The last table shown)
where id=(select dir from photos where id="&pnumber&")"
So the first table PHOTOCOMMENTS has to also join PHOTOS table where PHOTOS.DIR = PHOTOCOMMENTS.PNUMBER in order to get the value of "DIR" and then DIR is joined to the LOCATIONS tables where PHOTOS.DIR = LOCATIONS.ID
Here is the actual code, which I am trying to make into a single SQL command
strSQL = "SELECT top 15 pnumber,pcomment,puser FROM photocomments order by pdate DESC"
set ors = oconn.Execute(strSQL)
tl = 0
do until ors.eof or tl > 15
' until we have 15 results because not every recordset will be of the proper security level
[Code] ....
Bonus points if you can also get it to select from LOCATIONS only WHERE userlevel >= 2
