Is it better to have users that upload pictures have them saved to SQL server or to a folder? I have a site where users enter things that they own (and each item has a unique id) and now I would like to add the functionality to add a picture. I am sure I should use the fileUpload control, but should this save to a folder created for each user or to the SQL record itself? Or possibly a separate SQL table just for pictures?
Thanks for the help.
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!
I am building this project and for all the data i put in to the DB Title,Author, etc.... ineed to also add a picture of the book. I terms on space what is the best way to do this? In the DB? Or ref a folder? If so does anyone have sample code for each.
ThanksMike

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

Dear All,
I am new to dot not. I'm using vbdot net 2003 with crystal reports that bundled with vs2003 for creating catalogues for our company. We have furniture pictures in access db. In design time I have added picture field to the crystal reports and ticked the cangrow property so the picture can fit into its true aspect ratio. but some pictures grow into full page of the report. unticking 'cangrow' property also makes trouble as the picture does't streches well. I want 6 pictures to appear in each page by 2 column wise(how to add 2 columns in a report?). We want to automate printing catalogues of chosen furnitures by our customers. I'm struck with this problem for past few days.
can anyone help with sample code please?
Thanks a lot in advance

I am currently migrating my application from Access to SQL. It looks like it's working good but one thing I cannot understand is why when I have created a varchar(40) field and after I insert a field that is less then 40 characters long, the rest of the string is filled with the leading spaces. I have also create an nchar(40) that did not solve it ether. For example: the text is "Hello World". The text is 11 characters long but the data saved to the table is: "Hello Wolrd" + 29 spaces. Am I doing something wrong?Thanks for your help in advance.

View 4 Replies View RelatedHi, all.This might be a silly question... but I am very new to programming inSQL so please bear with me :)So. I'm using MS SQL Server 2005 Management Studio Express. I have atable that was created via an existing .sql file. Included were abunch of stored procedures. I went in to re-format these procedures.(They were written in haste by another programmer. It is my task to goback and improve their readabilities.) However, I am having difficultyfiguring out how to save the changes to these stored procedures. Thusfar, I have been individually saving each stored procedure in itsown .sql file. This is obviously not the way to go... but it's atemporary solution (so as not to lose the changes I have made todozens of procedures).Can someone please explain to me how I commit these changes to thedatabase?Thanks,Allie

Hello Im having a little problem getting some values from a database.....
What I need is to get the value of the keyfield of the last entry introduced, I know how to to do the SQL statement for this, the problem is that i dont know how to save this value in a variable. I need to save this value in a variable in the session object or in a hidden field, and then use this variable in another different page. That's way i need to save this ID value, later in the other page I introduce data in a different table and one of the fields has to be this ID value which I have as a foreign key in the table so I need to use the same value in all the rows i introduce(Id value).
If you know how to accomplish this let me know, many thanks, Sergio

My install of SQL Server 2005 runs like a dog. The SQL Management Studio splash screen lasts for 10 minutes, then when the Studio window appears it takes another 5 minutes to initialize.
I have SQL server installed on a Germane Server running Windows Server 2K, SP4. It has quad Xeon 2.8 GHz processors with 2GB RAM. 4 300GB drives in a RAID 5 configuration.
I have created 2 databases which I would like to save, uninstall SQL, then reinstall it. (I didn't install it the first time.)
Then load the 2 databases into the new install.
How do I do this?
SAVING PROBLEM
Now i know that my database is really saving
but it is being saved on the copy database in bin folder of the
project folder. But i want it to be saved on databse of the project
folder. Everytime I execute the program, the database on the project
folder copies itself to the bin folder which overwrites the updated
database.
I agree with
Antoine (Software Design Engineer, Visual Studio Data
Design-time) that SSE database has 2 copies
(http://blogs.msdn.com/smartclientdata/archive/2005/08/26/456886.aspx).
He or she suggested to set the property of the databse to "Copy
Never", on my SSE it's "Do not
copy". i cant find "Copy Never", i supposed its
the equivalent. When i executed the program i got an error
"An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file
C:[app_path]addressbook.mdf failed. A database with the same name
exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC
share".
I
tried her/his 2nd suggestion, leave the data file outside the project
and create a connection to it in Database Explorer, but I got the
same error message.
Someone
from other website suggested to delete the SQLExpress folder in
"c:Documents
and Settings[user name]Local SettingsApplication
DataMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server DataSQLEXPRESS"
but this didnt solve the issue.
PLS
HELP. Thanks
