Storing A PDF File Into SQL Server 2005?
Jan 16, 2008
Does anyone know whats wrong with my code?
~Nothing wrong with my code, code is correct!
I let it run and it keeps saying that the file does not exist. Seem as though, the path of my file doesn't exist! Any suggestions on how to program the path of my file so I can be able to retreive it such as open the file and access the file?

I want to store a Zip file as a BLOB, but I get an error:
"File 'C:<path of mdf file> ' appears to have been truncated by the operating system. Expected size is 2560KB but actual size is 1536KB "
whenever the BLOB exceeds 1MB.
Any suggestions? How can I store larger .ZIP files to the Database?
I am using MS SQL 2005 Express and the data type that I gave for the column to store Blob is "varbinary(MAX)".
I am inserting byte array in to this field.
It works fine for a zip file less than 1MB but as soon as the zipped file size increases beyond 1MB, lots of error pop-up and then the database is not readable. Its says that, the data in the data base may have been corrupted...

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 am looking for some microsoft recommendation on storing images in SQL Server Vs File System. Here is what our requirement is.
Currently we are using SQL Server 2000 with a VB6(COM+) & ASP front end. Our architecture involves Log Shipping & Replication. We use log shipping for our DR site and Replication to replicate to Datawarehouse & DB2 enviornment. I have been trying to research this topic and have come up with opinion favoring both sides mostly file system but nobody seems to point any Microsoft recommendation.
With our application we are looking for Transactions, backups, Log shipping & replication with these images. I have read MS implementation of TerraServer and there they recommend storing them in SQL Server if above is required. (https://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2000/reskit/part3/c1161.mspx?mfr=true)
Can somebody please point me to some Microsoft recommendation and what does SQL Server 2005 offers in this aspect.
Thanks

Hi Everyone,
I have an e-commerce site that uses Profiles in ASP.NET 2.0 to store items in a shopping cart. The problem is that we are now using LDAP authentication, so we are getting rid of the ASPNETDB membership database that stores the profile values. How can get the shopping cart functionalty to work with SQL Server 2005? How can I store the profile object in a SQL Server instead of the ASP.NET memberships database?
Here is the profile field:
<profile enabled="true"> <properties> <add name="Cart" serializeAs="Binary" type="Commerce.ShoppingCart" allowAnonymous="true"/> </properties> </profile>
Thank you in Advance

Hi There
I have not had much luck finding info in BOL.
I have a directory with many images, i need to load these images into sql server.We want to staore them in the database instead of the file server.
What is the best way to do this? TSQL (i am hoping), .NET code or maybe even SSIS ?
I have been reading what i can find in BOL basically all i know so far is that image data type will be no more in the future and i should use a varbinary(max) data type.
Basically i need a good link or something that can demonstrate how one can go about loading images into Sql Server 2005.
Thanx

I have a table that I'm inserting a file into and using the Image data type to store the binary object. Now the code below works fine for files around 1.5 MB, but anything larger and it's like the code won't even execute and I get a Page Not found error.
I'm in the process of running some traces to find out what's going on in the backend, but I'm assuming there's something amiss with my code. The Image data type should handle files that size with no problem but for some reason it isn't.
Does anyone see anything wrong?
Thanks

Hi There,
Can I store flash files in the database. I have a table with one of the columns as varbinary datatype. Previously, I was saving images (as filebytes) into this column. But now I need to implement something to store the flash file. So, is it possible to store flash files in the database and retrieve them and display them in an asp.net page?
Thanks a lot for your suggestion!!

We are trying to use source control to store our database objects andqueries in Perforce. The general idea is to produce scripts whichcreate all objects in the DB and then store the SQL in source control.Has anyone done this before and can suggest some advice? Alternativelyif anyone has other methods for using source control on a database,could you please let me know?Also, is there any automated way of extracting individual scripts forobject creation from the database?

Hi all,
Is there a way to get SQL Server 2005 to store NaN and Positive and Negative infinity values for double precision floats? It used to work fine under SQL 2000 and works great under MS Access, but we are updating our scientific application, and really need to be able to store this information efficiently under SQL Server 2005. We really want to dump Access because of database storage limitations.
It really amazes me that there is not more support for this as the limitation really makes it hard to store a lot of our simulation data. I guess SQL Server is more geared for financial data then scientific data. I know that Oracle supports this but we rather stick with SQL Server if we can.
We really want to avoid having to have an extra column to store this, that would be disastrous. NaN could be stored as null values. And, no, we cannot map +/- Infinity to Min and Max double values. We definitely need the distinction there.
Another post I read talked about custom user types€¦ but I€™m not sure how well that will work with our analysts pulling the data into other tools, like Excel.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. It just boggles the mind that SQL Server does not seem to handle true IEEE 754 doubles. How is Microsoft going to deal with C# 3.0 and DLinq support? The issue must show up there.
Anyway,
Thanks much.
James.

Hi all,
I'm wondering what is the best way to store time-series data in an SQL database?? I've done a bit of investigating on the rrdtool (round robin database tool) that is used in a lot of nix based solutions for monitoring network equipment. I have a need to collect performance data from servers and routers and then produces some nice graphs from that data. I'm just not sure who i should store that data without the database growing to some huge size.
Any suggestions?

HI,
We are using a VB component which utilises a FILE DSN to connect to SQL but we have noticed that when using SQL Authentication in setting up the DSN in the control panel the password does not get saved. So the only way we can connect is to have a user with no password i.e blank.
we only noticed this when we tried to use a user other than sa which happened to have a password that is blank.
Has anybody else found a solution to this problem ?

I have a file that is automatically generated by an external process that will always have the same name + a date stamp.I will say test_(Datestamp).txt
what i am trying to do is use sql to bulk insert this file but i will not know the full file name as the date stamp is also includes time. What my script is doing is taking this file everyday storing its contents temporarily in a table where i then use a trigger to edit and repopulate the table and kick out a new file that another external process uses.

I have a package that processes a flat file, which is generated by a separate system each weekday around 3:30AM. I would like my package to store the timestamp of the input file and compare it to the timestamp of the next day's file. If they are the same, then the package can exit without reprocessing a particular file again.
So, my first question is whether a package variable can be updated so that its value will persist from one run to the next?
Second, what is the syntax to retrieve the file's timestamp, either directly from the file connection manager or within a script task?
Thanks,
Phil

I am trying to create a file DSN to link a password protected access satabase to SQL server anywhere backend. I create the DSN using Microsoft Access Driver, Select my access database, go to advanced properties and type in the database password (user ID is admin). However, everytime I change records in the SQL front end, I am prompted to enter the Access database password. It doesn't seem to be storing it.
Any suggestions?

I am using the 3-tiered architecture design (presentation, business laws, and data acess layers). I am stuck on how to send the image the user selects in the upload file control to the BLL and then to the DAL because the DAL does all the inserts into the database. I would like to be able to check the file type in the BLL to make sure the file being uploaded is indeed a picture. Is there a way I can send the location of the file to the BLL, check the filetype, then upload the file and have the DAL insert the image into the database? I have seen examples where people use streams to upload the file directly from their presentation layer, but I would like to keep everything seperated in the three classes if possible. I also wasn't sure what variable type the image would be in the function in the BLL that receive the image from the PL. If there are any examples or tips anyone can give me that would be appreciated.
