Hello there,
I was thinking about saving some files in a SQL Server DB and then reading those back to the client for download. Any warnings that I should know about before doing so? The files will generally be at most 2mb in probably .pdf format. I've heard bad things about doing this in Access...but then again, SQL Server isn't access.
Someone:
I have the need to upload a file via a webpage and then save that file into the database. I would also like to retrieve it and show it to the user.
Can someone show me an example of how this should be done. Also I am concerned of the pros and cons of saving files in the database. Is there a performance hit on the server? Will it make the database unstable? Has anyone had problems doing this?
Any suggestions, samples, and/or help are welcome.

Appreciate your advice!
has anyone got any opinions on the pros/cons of storing mp3 files in the database instead of the file system ?
How could this be done ? Would it be a binary data type ?

hello all,
Does anyone know know which files Enterprise Manager uses to save the settings (i.e. registered computers and groups)?
I would like to reinstall enterprise manager, but I do not want to reconfigure all of the server registrations.

Can someone provide information or a link to information regarding the pros and cons of saving files directly into a SQL 2005 database?
I'm actually for saving files to a database (cleaner implementation then just saving the location then having to get the file, etc), but my project manager is not convinced so I need to make an argument for (or against depending on what I actually find out) using varbinary data type.
Thanks.
I'm trying to do something which I hope can be accomplished relatively simply.
I have a report similar to bank statements let's say. When run, it currently prints out each person's statement into one file, with page breaks sepearating each person's statement. What I need to do, is when the report is run, save each person's report into a seperate file for the purpose of emailing to them later.
I could easily modify my report to just output for one particular person, but I'm not sure if there's a way to "bulk render" all the reports and have them saved to sepearate files.
I should also add that I'm using an MS Access Data Project (ADP) as the front end to my app - connected to a SQL Server 2005 DB. I currently display the reports by embedding a web browser object into an Access form and rendering the report via HTML.
Thanks in advance,

Hi Guys,
I am trying to automate a basic task using SQL Server 2005 Express.
Currently I have a query script that I run and then save the results as a CSV file. I need to do this on a daily basis and so I am looking to find out how best to go about this. There are a multitude of third party tools that claim to be able to do this - can anyone recommend this or enlighten me of the best way to set up this automation.
All ideas gratefully received!
Hi gurus,
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)?
Thanks a lot in advance!
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.

PushD "

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?
How can I save UTF-8 strings in SQL Server 2005? I don't want to use nvarchar as it would take a lot of space and most of my text will be in latin characters (and it doesn't fully support all unicode code points anyway as it uses UCS2, I'm talking about the supplementary plane here which I know is very rarely used and most unicode fonts don't support it but it's still possible to be used at least in the future). I read in this KB article (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/232580) that my only option is to use varbinary, I'm worried though whether this could affect performance as I never used varbinary before .. I read in the same article that I cannot use varchar to store UTF-8 which I can't really understand, doesn't varchar use the whole 256 values to save character data according to the code page used? what makes UTF-8 characters not valid for being stored as varchar strings? (what I mean here is that I can do the conversion manually from varchar to UTF-8 but I only want to save the data in the varchar columns) Any suggestions are highly appreciated..

I have a problem. The thing is that when I enter the values in a text boxes like evendate.text = "02/11/07" and desc.text="hello how r u" then I click on Save Button and its save in the SQL DATABASE but after this if I click on Refresh Button every time from the internet Explorer its automatically again save the data in the database although I have empty the textboxes.
The code is below:
<script runat="server"> sub SaveEvent(sender as object, e as EventArgs) dim con as new SQLConnection("server=london-home; Database=tony; uid=rashid2; pwd=test; ")
dim cmd as new SQLCommand("insert into events values('" & desc.text & "','" & DateTime.Parse(eventdate.text) & "')",con) con.open() cmd.executenonquery() con.close() clearform() display() end sub sub display() dim con as new SQLConnection("server=london-home; Database=tony; uid=rashid2; pwd=test; ") dim cmd as new SQLCommand("select * from events",con) con.open() dim SDR as SQLDataReader SDR = cmd.ExecuteReader() if SDR.HasRows = true then ViewEvents.DataSource = SDR ViewEvents.DataBind() end if con.close() end sub sub clearform() eventdate.text="" desc.text="" end sub sub Reset(sender as object, e as EventArgs) clearform() end sub</script>

I have 3 dropdownlist server controls on my webform for the dateofbirth field. One for the day("1", "2" format), one for the month ("Jan", "Feb" format) and one for the year("1994", "1995" format). When the submit button server control is clicked i need to concatenate the day, month and year in the format 01-jan-1994 since i have the dateofbirth field datatype as datetime in my sql server table. I have declared the date variable stored procedure as "@dateofbirth datetime". Provide me the full coding.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHi all,
I have a replicated table with a column which is used to store sound files - it is of type varbinary(MAX).
What is the best way to store a file from the filesystem inside this column on the PDA side (i.e. inside SQL Server CE) without loading the whole file into the PDA's memory, i.e. using some sort of buffering?
On full SQL Server 2005 I make use of UPDATE.WRITE() to save buffers inside the column - is there an alternative to this on SQL Server CE? Can anyone provide sample code / point me to samples that deal with SQL Server CE & BLOBs.
Thanks for your help!

hello,I am building a web page in asp.net 2.0 and i'm looking for a way to save various files uploaded by users (such as doc, pdf, cs, txt .... whatever). Obviously the normal way would be to store it on the filesystem of the web server (or any other middleware server).But I am asking if there is a way to store these files in the database, and not affect too much of the performance of the web page?I know a picture can be stored easily, but what about all the other file types? I would appreciate if someone can spead light of the subject.Thanks,Tranquil.

I have in the past created stored procedures using SQL Server 2000. It was easy to do. Now I am using SQL Server 2005 and the whole process is different and confusing to me. I performed the following steps to create a stored procedure:
1.) In SQL Server management studio, I wen to the folder named "Stored Procedures"2.) I right clicked on this folder and selected "New Stored Procedure..."3.) A generic sql server stored procedure is created for me.4.) I modify the stored procedure and now want to save it?
Now where do I go from here? How should I properly save this new stored procedure and where should I save it?I noticed that a generic name is assigned such as SQLQuery13.sql, but I want to name it something else.
I actually saved the new stored procedure but I can't see it listed under the "Stored Procedures" folder. I even tried doing a refresh.
Running SQL 2005 on a dedicated Dual Xeon 8MB RAM AND 6x 160GB HDDS RAID-5. Front end App Access 2002. I have to main concerns. 1. When users are enter data and saving all of a sudden all users get stuck upon saving and requires to reboot the server to operate again. Th eproblem is that this happens 3 to 5 times a day. Also searching records with one word takes very long time sometimes even minutes, but queries having two or more words come up fast. Also single word queries come up with erratic results, sometimes 200 titles and than a second search comes up with 31,000. *** Can anyone come up with any ideas "off the cuff" on how I canstart to resolve these issues. Can these issues be related?
