Set Varbinary Length For Image DataType
Feb 23, 2008Hi,
I want to restrict varbinary column for not to store more that 2mb image file in the database. How can i do that.
Thanks in Advance!

We used SSIS to move data from a table in SQL 2000 which had a column with the image datatype to a column in a table in SQL 2005 that has a datatype of varbinary(max). No errors were produced from the SSIS package.
There were a number of records where the DATALENGTH of the column with the image datatype was greater than 8000. Was the data truncated for these records?
This is probably a very elementary question, but I am not familiar with the application or the data.
Below is the source table in SQL 2000 and a select count(*) ...
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[LSCHANNELCUTDATA](
[UIDCHANNELCUT] [numeric](19, 0) NOT NULL,
[VALUECODES] [image] NULL,
...
selectcount(*)
from[LSCHANNELCUTDATA]
whereDATALENGTH ( [VALUECODES] )> 8000
Using the new encryption included in SQL Server 2005, what is a good way to determine what length I should use for the column?
For example, I am encrypting a column, its maxlength is about 30 characters, but when encrypted, the encrypted value extends from between 50 and no more than 68 characters-
So if I had a column with a max of 500 or so characters, how could I know what varbinary length I should set it to if I were to encrypt it, without actually finding the highest value I could possibly fit into the field?
Is it good practice to just make it a varbinary(max) field?

hai guys,
i want to find out the length of the varbinary field ex: 0x000003752B226B3D0579

Hi,
I'm trying simple code:
declare @varbinary varbinary(8000)
set @varbinary = 2592
print len( @varbinary )
number length
2590 4 bytes
2591 4 bytes
2592 3 bytes ????
2593 4 bytes
All number in range 1 - 9000 has length 4 bytes except these numbers:
32,288,544,800,1056,1312,1568,1824,2080,2336,2592,2848,3104,3360,3616,3872,4128,4384,4640,4896,5152,5408,5664,5920,6176,6432,6688,6944,7200,7456,7712,7968,8480,8736,8992
These numbers has length 3 bytes !
Why?
I´m using varbinary variable to transport ID values and parsing in loop
set @cnt = len( @binEmpIDList ) / 4 -- 4 length
....
insert into @List( ID ) values( substring( @varbinary, @i * 4 + 1, 4 ) )
...
but this algorithm malfunctioning in enumerated numbers.
Please help, how correct this.
ID values in @varbinary too much. I cannot using convert varbinary to bigint and convert bigint to string.

I want to store JPG files in my table... So far I know varbinary datatype can be used to store large object types like images,documents etc.How do I add records for this data type in table
Thanks
HiI moved to SQL Server 2005 (from 2000) and noticed there is a bettervariable to deal with binary arrays.I hava a table that hold 9 columns of images (BLOB). each array has adifferent size and can be larger than 4k.I've changed the column data type from image to varbinary(max).After the chnage, the size of the table grew from 22MB to 26MB.Any idea why? I though the new variable should be better.I have another table where there are 3 columns with binaries, the sizeof the arrays there is much smaller and vary from 32bytes to 150byteslong. when I changed the data type to varbinary the size of the tableshrunk by half!!now I'm completely confused...Gilad.

In my project requirement I am  migrating    sql server data to some other database (EXASOL) destination have no varbinary datatype supported.
how can I move this data to my destination.
what is the best way of comparing image/varbinary and nullable column in sql server?
this is what i do to find out the different in image column in 2 tables sharing the same structure:
Select *
From TblA s
Left Join TblB c On
s.Id = c.Id And Coalesce(Convert(VARBINARY(MAX), c.Image),'') <> Coalesce(Convert(VARBINARY(MAX), s.Image),'')
Where c.Id IS NULL
alternatively, i was thinking to compare the column with the size, but worry about the accuracy:
Select *
From TblA s
Left Join TblB c On
s.Id = c.Id And ISNULL(Datalength(c.Image),0) <> ISNULL(Datalength(s.Image),0) Where c.Id IS NULL
any suggestion/advise will be appreciated ~
I have a password column that needs to be converted from varchar to varbinary. Can anybody provide me a proper CONVERT statement syntax for it?
View 12 Replies View RelatedI have a database that I am using as an archive for emails and am storing them in varbinary(max) data types. The database works fine for inserts and retrieval but I cannot delete large sets of records ( > 30K) without it timing out. I assume this is because SQL server isn't simply releasing the handle to the blob but is instead doing a lot of work reclaiming the space.
Is there any flag I can set or approach I can use to resolve this issue?
I was considering moving the blobs into a seperate simple table and putting async triggers on the primary to delete the blobs, will this work?
Any ideas are appreciated. Besides the "store files in the file system" idea.

Hi all,I need to change a varchar from 35 to 50. In the SQL Server books online it says that SQL Server actually creates a new table when youchange the length. I ran a test in a test database and it appears theonly thing that changes is the length. All the data remains in tact.The table with the column I want to modify is very critical. Is thereany chance I would loose data if I change the length to a larger size? Iam making a back up of the table just in case. Thanks,Kelly

Hello guys!
I am looking for the best DataType that makes it possible to store strings of variable length (from 15 to 300 caracters, rarely longer).

my favorit hoster is ASPnix : www.aspnix.com !
I am using SQL Server 2000 Version 8.00.194.
On creating the image data type in a table SQL server shows me image's default size is "16" and further more it doesn€™t allow me to change that size.
Can anyone please tell me what does length of an image data type means and what is meant by default length "16", and why it doesn€™t allow me to change?

I have a table with an IMAGE datatype. Without using xp_cmdshell and bcp, is it possible to get this image to disk? We do have the OLE procedures enabled so I can use those to create in instance of the Scripting.FileSystemObject and write to disk but how do I convert the image datatype to something I can store on disk and it actually be a readable format? If it helps, we only store this particular field in JPEG format in the database.
