Storing Large Files In The SQL Server 2005

Feb 9, 2006

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

Dim iLength As Integer = CType(File1.PostedFile.InputStream.Length, Integer)

If iLength = 0 Then Exit Sub 'not a valid file

Dim sContentType As String = File1.PostedFile.ContentType

Dim sFileName As String, i As Integer

Dim bytContent As Byte()

ReDim bytContent(iLength) 'byte array, set to file size



'strip the path off the filename

i = InStrRev(File1.PostedFile.FileName.Trim, "")

If i = 0 Then

sFileName = File1.PostedFile.FileName.Trim

Else

sFileName = Right(File1.PostedFile.FileName.Trim, Len(File1.PostedFile.FileName.Trim) - i)

End If

cmd.Connection = conn

Try

File1.PostedFile.InputStream.Read(bytContent, 0, iLength)

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!!

Hello,I'm looking for a tutorial or some sample code to save a file in sql server with c#. So far I have not been able to find a anything I could use as most tutorials are in VB. I'm using the varbinary max type to store the file. The part I need help with is selecting the file and converting it using the Stream object, not the SQL insert statements.  Thanks,Arnold

Storing Files In Image Columns In 2005

Jul 10, 2006

I did some quick Googling and didn't find the article of my dreams here. Any experience with storing files in the db in 2005? Any opinions?

Here's the deal. We have our new 'Enterprise' software being designed and written in St. Petersburg (not FL) and I'm reviewing the design for dealing with letters and forms that are generated as hard copy from our business (by the thousands per month) and sent to clients for review, signature etc. Then they are returned by fax or snail mail.

The current design has all of these being stored in image data type columns in the database--storing saved files of the actual outgoing stuff and saved files of the stuff that comes in (scanned copies or the files from our fax server).

This screams 'BAD IDEA' based on our experience doing this in SQL Server 2000. We get things like 23 page faxes from Dr's offices, large packets of FMLA forms returned, etc. In 2000 they tended to get rather large when stored in the DB and caused us all kinds of headaches when Microsoft changed how it recognized and displayed certain types of files, e.g. tiffs.

Further, the outgoing stuff is largely boilerplate with added fields from the db--name, address, a few dates. My proposed design for outbound notifications and forms was to keep only references to the template used, the date created, and an id to link it to the personal info of the schmoe to whom it was sent--essentially, store which document template and then just enough data to map to the variable content that is pulled from the db. Then you can recreate the file that was printed and mailed at any time in the future, but you don't actually save the .doc (or Word .xml) anywhere, not in the file system, not in the db.

The current developers feel this is way too much work to design--and it is certainly more effort than just generating .docs/.xml files via a merge with Word and then stuffing those into the database. They also argue that having them in the db makes them 'more secure' and more 'accessible' to users around the globe.

Does anyone know if the image storage is any better in 2005 than 2000? The .docs & .tifs we used to store just about tripled in size when we put them in the db in 2000. Plus there were the defrag issues and generally it was an unsatisfying experience.

Does anyone know what the advantages/disadvantages of generating Word .xml files might be? Can they be stored as xml data type in SQL Server? Perhaps this is a better option?

If anyone has the time to digest this, please send opinions.

Thanks!

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Storing Very Large Tables?

Jan 24, 2015

We are in the middle of re-designing few tables (namely transaction tables) that would store very large data and would be hosted on cloud (Azure). The old design of this product breaks transaction tables into monthly tables. i.e. say ORDERS Table would be physically broke into twelve monthly tables over a year like ORDERS0115 (mmyy), ORDERS0215 and so on.

We are in the opinion that keeping the entire transactions in one Table is better. Would like to know what's the best practices for transaction tables like the one mentioned above? Is it better to use one table with partitions. I read somewhere that partitions can slow down SELECT queries if not designed and thought properly.Since this would be hosted on cloud (Azure), do you think some additional things are to be taken care? How a site like Amazon keeps their transactions tables?

SQL Server Storing Large Amounts Of Data In Multiple Tables

Jul 20, 2005

Hello,Currently we have a database, and it is our desire for it to be ableto store millions of records. The data in the table can be divided upby client, and it stores nothing but about 7 integers.| table || id | clientId | int1 | int2 | int 3 | ... |Right now, our benchmarks indicate a drastic increase in performanceif we divide the data into different tables. For example,table_clientA, table_clientB, table_clientC, despite the fact thetables contain the exact same columns. This however does not seem veryclean or elegant to me, and rather illogical since a database existsas a single file on the harddrive.| table_clientA || id | clientId | int1 | int2 | int 3 | ...| table_clientB || id | clientId | int1 | int2 | int 3 | ...| table_clientC || id | clientId | int1 | int2 | int 3 | ...Is there anyway to duplicate this increase in database performancegained by splitting the table, perhaps by using a certain type ofindex?Thanks,Jeff BrubakerSoftware Developer

Reading Large Text Files With 2005 CE?

Dec 19, 2007

Hi€¦
During my web search looking for a solution I ran across SQL CE 3.5 articles. My questions about SQL CE 3.5 are:
1) Can SQL CE 3.5 handle a 4 €“ 6 GB file
- Read
- Parse (SQL)
2) Can SQL CE 3.5 act as a standalone client that a user can view a large (4-6 GB) text file?
- Will I need a .NET (small) client to read the large (4-6 GB) text file?
More info:
The text file will reside on the machine where the SQL CE 3.5 is installed. There is no pull to get the data.

Thank you (in advance)€¦

Storing Images And Files In Sql Server An Alternative?

Feb 3, 2006

Hi,I was wondering what anybodies feelings on storing images and files in SQL server express 2005?I am guessing it is a No No...If this is the case what are the best practices for achieving this?Would something like a table which held the "real name of the file", "a unique identifier" do the trick...hence in code (c#) i could create a GUID for the unique identifier maybe??? and then upload the pictue or file to a common directory and name it with the unique identifier rather than its real name.This means that i could potentially hold a different file with the same name i.e. no conflictsMy app is a sort of HTML editor in asp.net (all html is stored in the db) so if i do upload a picture using a GUID or uniquee identifier then if somebody saves teh image from a webpage then it would be called uniqueIdentifier.jpg which is probably what i don't want.So the only other idea i had was to create a directroy within my site which I would name with the unique identifier and upload the pics and files with thier real names into this directory. Hence each document would have its own directory so there would be no conflicts with filenamesAny advice or comments really appreciatedThanks in advanceIan

Storing Large PDF's In Table

May 26, 2008

Hi,
I have this page that upload's PFD's to a table. In principle this works fine.
Until I try to upload large files (3 to 4 MB)I need to even upload larger files than that. (Don't really know as of yet what users are going to come up with) I get TimeOut problems. Now some people say it is not possible to exceed a limit of about 4 MB. But that there is a workaround by changing something to the web.config file.Can somebody give me info about that, (I am quite a novice really)I tried to change it like this, but to no avail:
<system.web><httpRuntime maxRequestLength="102400"enable = "True"requestLengthDiskThreshold="102400" useFullyQualifiedRedirectUrl="True"executionTimeout="102400"/></system.web> 
Thanks for any help!

Storing And Indexing Very Large Text

Jul 31, 2005

Hi!I want to store some really big text in my database (for my articles). The approximate size will be from 500 to 40000 characters. I was thinking of using the database 'text' datatype.I have heard that reading these text fields is slower and decreases the performance. Moreover is it advisable to index this for searching purposes?

Storing Large Formatted Documents

Jun 8, 2006

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?

Linked Server To Text Files: Is Possible To Detect Changes Made To Those Files? (SQL Server 2005)

Sep 3, 2007

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!

Storing Images In Sql Server 2005

Jun 5, 2006

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.

Storing Binary Files In SQL Express

Hi There,

I am new to VC# and SQL Express. I am currently trying to find a way to store user selected files into SQL Express. I am using a column with the varbinary(MAX) data type. My current thought is to give the user a open file dialog box, and let them select the file they want to upload. On closing this dialog box, I convert the file selected into a file stream and insert into SQL Express.

Is this method a good one? If anyone else can give me pointers or hints to better methods, please do!

Storing Small Binary Files In SQL CE 3.5

Dec 11, 2007



Hey everyone,

I'm deploying a desktop application with Sql CE 3.5. I have a collection of files that I would like to be save as a binary format in SQL CE. These files range from 1KB to 5MB. I know I cannot use varbinary(max) , instead I am limited to varbinary(8000), but this obvisously comes short of 5MB. There are articles stating to use the image datatype to get around this. Is this just bad practice, should I keep the files on the file system or take advantage of this work around? Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

-- Chris
