Storing Unsaved Word Documents As BLOBs
Jul 20, 2005
Hi folks,
I want to be able to store and retrieve UNSAVED Word documents as BLOBs. I
got all the info for storing them if they're already saved on the file
system. But what if they're not already saved? I could save them to a temp
file first and then make it a blob, but I'd rather not put them on the file
system at all. I could use Document.Contents to get the Range object for the
whole doc and then BLOB that, but I'm not sure that would be quite the same
as a .doc file, maybe things like Styles and the like would be missing.
TIA!
Dave

Hi,
I have developed a Job Registration page, in which, the resume attached will be stored in the database in an image data-type field. Now, the client program includes migration of the database into local server and process the resumes.
After migration to the local database, if the client wants to process the resume and save directly to the database again, is it possible? This a very urgent requirement. Currently, i am separating the resume from the database and storing in a folder with the ID as the file name. But i want to convert it to a distributed application, which needs the resume to be in the database itself.
Can anybody suggest me the method to open .doc file from the database, process it and save directly to the database?
Thanks and regards,
mrc

Yesterday I installed MS SQL 2000 for the first time and have no idea what I'm doing.
I have been sent a database and asked to convert this to MS Access, for most of the data that is ok and I have already managed to do this. My problem is that the database contains MS Word documents stored in some of the tables (field type - image). I need to extract these from the database and get them back to individual Word files, ideally with a file name that relates them to the primary key of the table from which they came.
I have less that 24 hours experience with SQL server and would be very grateful if anyone can explain how I can do this.
Thank you for your help
Shane

Is it possible to have a word document as a datatype? I am attempting to create a searchable SQL 7 database of approximately 5000 resumes, adding anywhere from 10-100 every day (we are a recruiting/consulting firm).
I know index server is an easier way to do this, but my managers are against it for unknown reasons.
Other ideas are also welcome...
Thanks in advance,
Kevin

I am developing a resume storage system, and don't know the best way to store the resumes that come in to our company in both MS Word and text files. Should I store the files in the original format they come in, and reference the file name in the databse that points to a directory where they are stored, or should I store the text of the resumes directy in the database. There are 2 things that I must follow.
1: I need to have the documents keep their formatting.
2: I also need the capibility of conducting a full text search to pull out key words from the documents.
What is the best way?

Hi There,Being quite new to MS-SQL I would like to ask if there is a general opinionof what approach should be taken to storing things like external documentsand images in databases.Should the actual files be stored within the database, or instead shouldlinks to the files on a file server or something similar be stored instead.For the end user I imagine it is easier to have everything stored within thedatabase, because doing it the other way in effect gives another level ofmanagement because there is the need to perhaps manually look after the fileserver with all the image files or document files on.In my particular case, I am building a database where the users use a greatmany Word documents. For example, I particular record might have a number ofdifferent Word documents associated with it.I was going to create a "Documents" table that all documents were stored in(including meta data about each document because it will be really useful tobe able to search for documents so that they can be reused).In this table I was in a dilemma as to whether to actually store thedocuments in the table. Other then the performance hit and memoryrequirements this will require, are there any other disadvantages?What are the general thoughts when a database needs to manage a lot of pdfand word documents?Thanks in advance.Dave.

I'm building a system when one can upload a document to the website.I will be storing the document on the hard-drive for quick/easy access,but I was also thinking of storing it in an existing database since mostof the sites information is all stored there.As well there would be only one place to worry about backing up. And ifthe file on the hard-drive was ever missing or became corrupted, I couldrestore it form tha database. Is this feasable?

Excel 2007 Documents Not Displayed in Windows XP Professional sp2
Start Menu's Recent Documents List:
Dear Microsoft Support:
I can't figure out how to get recently used Excel 2007 (new file formats) documents to show up in the Windows XP Professional (sp2) Start Menu's Recent Documents List. I checked the Internet, the knowledgebase, many parts of the MS web site, etc. for an answer but can't find one.
Are Excel 2007 documents supposed to show up in the XP Start Menu's Recent Document List? Is this a bug or do I have to do some sort of configuration to make it do so? If it's a bug, when will a fix be available?
Are these new Excel 2007 files filtered out like EXE files are which will not appear in the Recent Document List?
The Excel 2007 file types are listed in the Registry.
This question is also posted on Experts-Exchange...No solutions yet.
Thanks.
Jim.

i used following code to create atable on ssce 3.5 database, but there is something wrong and i dont know what? the problem is all the results is S_OK but ssce does not create the table on the database, the interesting point is, if i connect the same database with vs2008 server explorer and execute the code, ssce succesfully creates the table, my mind is totally screwed up...
[CODE]
wstring cmd;//contains create table command;
HRESULT hr = NOERROR;

Since upgrading from SQL Server Management Studio 2008 R2, I've noticed that it no longer autosaves queries that have not been manually saved first. If a file has been manually saved the autorecover files end up in the following directory:
%appdata%MicrosoftSQL Server Management Studio11.0AutoRecoverDatSolution1
However, I have ended up in the situation where I have unsaved queries when my computer has crashed and have not been able to recover them.
I have also found references to .sql files stored in temp files in the following directory, but the files here seem to be very haphazardly caught:
%userprofile%AppDataLocalTemp

hi!
I'm just wondering does anyone know how to create an sql command that can search word by word?
what i mean is like I have a product with name 'harry potter broom'.
I want an sql command where if i type only 'harry broom' this 'harry potter broom' product will show up.
Does anyone have any idea?
Here's my sql comand: (I'm using asp.net vb script do develop this system)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
query = "select distinct * from product where " & _
"(pname like '%" & keyword & "%' or " & _
"pdesc like '%" & keyword & "%' ) and " & _
"(price >= " & price1 & " and price <= " & price2 & _
") and status <> 'out of stock' order by price asc"

Hello there,I just want to ask if storing data in dbase is much better than storing it in the file system? Because for one, i am currenlty developing my thesis which uploads a blob.doc file to a web server (currently i'm using the localhost of ASP.NET) then retrieves it from the local hostAlso i want to know if im right at this, the localhost of ASP.NET is the same as the one of a natural web server on the net? Because i'm just thinking of uploading and downloading the files from a web server. Although our thesis defense didn't require us to really upload it on the net, we were advised to use a localhost on our PC's. I'll be just using my local server Is it ok to just use a web server for storing files than a database?

I have searched high and low for this answer, but still to no avail...
Does anyone have a reliable way of storing serialized data into a table which does not use direct SQL on the client side? I am using Stored Procedures and simply need to be able to read out of the table the object written in.
Inserting appears fine, but reading only seems to come back with 16 bytes of data and I just can't figure out why. Whats the recommended way of doing this?
Matt.

Hello to all,
Please help me to get a right decision:
storing BLOBs 5M in database or using URL. I saw a lot of articles about this matter and really cannot decide.
The database size is about 35 M, not too much DDL operations.
Advises?

Hi,
VS2005
SQl workgroup 2005
I have a DB where I store alot of Blobs, the blobs are tagged up with alot of id. My concern is deleting them automatically on a regular basis, too keep the DB size down. I will be deleting them based on based on age(date/time) and what category the blob is classed as.
- My concern is how to delete blobs sort of equally dispersed among the categories so no category ends up empty although it may have old pictures in it.
Any tips, links or code is much welcome.
(my app will be acessing the DB though ADO .NET 3.0 c++/cli)
Cheers,
Andreas

I want to store message database in SQLEv. Each message contains fixed header and a body. Body is UTF-16 encoded text. Average size of the body is about 700 symbols. Standard deviation about 1000 symbols. Maximum size - 200K symbols. Total count of the messages is up to 2 millions.
The only type I can use for body is text or binary blob. But blob larger than 256 bytes store in separate pages. Because of most message bodies lager than 256 bytes, each message take avg. PageSize / 2 not used for storing data, but occupied space.
For 2M messages this space will be 4096 / 2 * 2M = 4G. But SQLEv has 4G limit for database size!
Is it any way to store such data in SQLEv more efficiently?

I'm trying to store files such as pdfs in my SQL Server as blobs for a particular .NET application and I'm noticing a rather large performance hit when compared to if the pdf was simply stored in the web server's file system.
I have a pdf of 7MB. If this is on a web server it takes roughly 9 seconds to download. When I store the same pdf in my database and then write it onto the page using the code below it takes roughly 40 seconds to display. Can anyone help me to improve this performance difference? Should I not be using this method to store large files?
Dim PdfCol As Integer = 0 ' the column # of the BLOB field
Dim dr As SqlDataReader = cmd.ExecuteReader()
If dr.Read() Then
Dim mypdf(dr.GetBytes(PdfCol, 0, Nothing, 0, Integer.MaxValue) - 1) As Byte
dr.GetBytes(PdfCol, 0, mypdf, 0, mypdf.Length)
End If
Response.Clear()
Response.Buffer = True
Response.ClearContent()
Response.ClearHeaders()
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"
Response.BinaryWrite(mypdf)
Response.Flush()
Response.Close()

Hi
I wanted to ask a question in terms of design (Performance, scalability, maintenance, flexibility etc.) is it better to refernce a document on the actual file system (on a file server) i.e. from a database link to the actual file at a disk location
e.g. in the database have something like \fileserver2006 estewtext.txt or C: estewtext.txt
or is it better to store all the files in a database as blobs?
The Question i would like to ask is more in the context of desigining a document management system?

Hi geniuses,
I have a core database question in MS Access and SQL Server.
Assume the following table in MS Access or SQL Server:
Employees table:
EmpID, Name, Hiredate, Photo;
and the following query:
"SELECT EmpID, Name, Hiredate FROM Employees;"
The question is, "does the blob object (Photo) affect the performance of the query even when not included in the select statement?"
I mean, will I gain some additional performance when separating the blob fields to another table?
Thanks for the answer.
