Suggestions On Image Gallery DB Design.

Dec 13, 2007

For a long time now I have been using SQL 2005 to hold information about images for different image galleries. I have going though and rebuilding the site from the ground up and thought this might be a good time to optimize the tables and databases. Right now each game has it's own table in the database to hold information about the images (Group, ImageName, Width, Hight, AltTag, ImageNumber [Group is to split up by character, ImageNumber is a unique number for each image so I can use it to pull into the ASP script to create the thumbnail and internal linkings from image to image]). I was going to stick with this design but decided I would pop in here and see if anyone has any suggestions on a better way of doing this? And remember I am recreating all the scripts so the gallery script used to generate the HTML page for the users can be modified to work with the new DB.

Here is the code to create the current tables for anyone that wants to look at how I made the original ones.

CREATE TABLE [Eaglef90].[cbr](
[GroupName] [varchar](15) NOT NULL,
[ImageName] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
[Width] [decimal](3, 0) NOT NULL,
[Height] [decimal](3, 0) NOT NULL,
[AltText] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
[ImageNumber] [decimal](3, 0) NOT NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]

If I get used to envying others...
Those things about my self I pride will slowly fade away.

Size Of DB Required For Image Gallery?

Sep 3, 2005

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum, but I'm in the early stages
of planning an image gallery that will start with ~1000 hi res JPG
images each with a file size of about 3mb in size.

To store the images as standard files I figure need about 3gig of
hosting space to start.  The gallery will increase in size and
probably very quickly I must have room for growth.

I've never tried storing images inside a DB so my question is how big
does my database (in MB) have to be to store the 1000 images?  Do
i need a 3gig MSSQL DB or does the binary data have a larger overhead?
Or would the DB be much smaller than 3gig? 

And also: Iis storing such a large number of images in a DB the best
architecture or would it be more cost effective to store them as
regular files?

Thanks for any info

Ben

Suggestions On Design Of Table

Oct 30, 2006

Hello and thanks for your help in advance.

So what I need to do is store applications info, such as application name, path, server it's installed on, etc., into a table.

I thinking of designing the table like this but not sure if this is a good design:

ApplicationInfo
---------------
ID
Application -- pk
Path
ServerName

There are apps that are installed on all servers and there are some apps installed only on a few servers. I was thinking of making the "Application" field unique so that only 1 instance of the application name exists and then comma delimit the "ServerName" field values.

So with this approach records would look like this:

Field Value
-----------------------------------
ID "1"
Application "Adobe"
Path "C:Program FilesAdobe"
Server "ServerA,ServerB,ServerC"

ID "2"
Application "Microsoft Office"
Path "C:Program FilesMicrosoft Office"
Server "ServerB,ServerC"


What would you recommend doing?

Looking For Physical Design Suggestions...

Jul 20, 2005

I got a server that has a RAID-5 array partitioned into C: and D:drives (OS Win2K Adv. Server installed on C:). The server also has amapping to a NAS device using the latest protocols that trick thesystem into thinking the map is actually a local SCSII drive. That'sdrive X:.This server is used only for SQL, and contains an OLTP database thatsees a lot of use and is pretty heavily indexed.I am toying with the idea of centralizing my data storage on the NAS(data center network segment is 1-gigabit ethernet). So I wasthinking about putting my primary data file on the NAS (drive X:) andkeeping all tables there, creating a secondary data file on localRAID-5 (drive D:) and putting all non-clustered indexes there, as wellas keeping the tempdb there and specifying the sort in tempdb option.Log files would also remain on D:.If anyone can suggest a better scenario given the above setup - I'dlove to hear it. Much appreciated.Alexey Aksyonenko

Sending Uploaded Image To Data Access Class When Storing Image In SQL Server 2005

Apr 20, 2007

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.

HOW To Retrieve An Image From Sql Server And Display It In ASP.net Using Imagemap Or Image ?

Jul 6, 2006

Ok, the problem is that , i have a field called "Attach" in sql of type image, when selecting it , the field is getting data of type BYTE(). which am being unable to display them on an Image on the panel.

using the following vb.net code:

'Dim sel2 As String

'Dim myCom As SqlCommand

'Dim conn As New SqlConnection

'Dim drr As SqlDataReader

'Dim image As System.Drawing.Image

'sel2 = "select * from attach where att_desc = '" & DropDownList1.SelectedItem().Text & "' and doc_code = " & w_doc_code & " and subcode = " & w_doc_subcode & " and doc_num= " & w_doc_num & " "

'conn.ConnectionString = ("server=developer01;uid=sa;password=aims;database=DVPSOC;timeout=45")

'myCom = New SqlCommand(sel2, conn)

'conn.Open()

'drr = myCom.ExecuteReader()

'If drr.Read Then

' Me.ImageMap1.ImageUrl = drr.Item("attach")

'End If

'conn.Close()

Am getting an exeption on the following line Me.ImageMap1.ImageUrl = drr.Item("attach")

saying: Conversion from type 'Byte()' to type 'String' is not valid.

knowing that i tried converting using ToString but it's not getting any output then.

1st Image Control Shows Wrong Image

Jan 30, 2007

In my asp.net application I have a local report with an image control in thedetail row of the table and the Value attribute set as="File://" & Fields!FQPhotoFileName.ValueThe first row in the table always shows the wrong image and it's always thesame wrong image. The problem is there even when I change the sort order orthe criteria for the underlying dataset. For example, I ran a small testthat populated the dataset with 2 rows and 2 images. When I sort by anycolumn (e.g. ID) in ascending ascending order the ID=1 row (the 1st row)shows the wrong image and the ID=2 row shows the correct image. When I rerunthe report sorting in descending order the ID=2 row (which is now the 1strow) shows the wrong image and the ID=1 shows the correct image.Any suggestions?

Suggestions Please

Mar 26, 2003

I am requesting suggestions to solve my problem.

Background: We are changing the way we pay commissions to our rep groups. We used to pay when the order was placed, now we want to pay when the invoice is paid.

Problem: The commision information is currently stored in the customer order, not in the invoice. These orders get deleted a couple weeks after the order was completed (shipped).

I want to create another, rather dynamic, table/structure that will store the order number and the commission percentage.

This info in this table should:

Be deleted: if the order has been deleted and the invoice either does not exist or was payed some period of time ago (maybe 6 months)

Be updated: if the customer order has been updated (i.e. the commission was changed)

Be inserted: if the order exists but the order number is not in the new table.

That is it in a nutshell.

Thanks,
Brian

Need Some Suggestions.

May 4, 2008



Hello all!

I have this simple sp.

SELECT VisName
FROM tblVis
WHERE (VisID = 1)

Now I have lets say VISID 1 to 50. I'm using this SP to change the text on a button. Now I have 50 buttons. So I run this SP, then I run this in my vb.net code




Code Snippet
Dim constr As New SqlConnection(PVDBConn)
Try
'Variable to hold the results
Dim results As String = String.Empty
cmdUpd = New SqlCommand("SelVis1Name", constr)
cmdUpd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
constr.Open()
'Set results to the value returned from ExecuteScalar()
results = CType(cmdUpd.ExecuteScalar(), String)
constr.Close()
'Set our buttons text to that value
Button1.Text = results
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.Message.ToString)
End Try






At any time, when I start my program, I may need to label 10 buttons, or up to 50. Now I will have this number in a text file. Can I grab that number from a text file, and pass it into a SP?

And can I write this SP only once, to work for more than one label per time. Or do I have to write this sp 50 times?

TIA!

I have a database that will be used by two or more organizations. I would like to use pass phrase encryption to encrypt a couple of columns.

I'm looking for suggestions on how I might set up the db to let the organization change the pass phrase that is used for their encryption?

I don't really want to hard code it into stored procedures or select statements with parameters. I will be using SSL if that should make a difference with what you suggest.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Thank you

I have two stored procedures (l'll call them P1 & P2). P1, after a lot of processing, creates a temporary table that is used by P2 after an "exec P1" is done. I've separated the logic into two stored procedures because, ultimately, other sprocs will need the output of P1.

I get an error if I use #tempTable as the output table in P1 because it no longer exists after P1 finishes. ##tempTable works, but I'm concerned about concurrency issues. Any suggestions on what construct(s) I should be using?

Thanks in advance!

Book Suggestions On T-SQL

Oct 4, 2005

Hi All,
I am new to SQL Server but have been doing database programming since last 3 years. I recently attended MOC (Microsfot Official Curriculum) training on SQL Server and have started to use at my company. I am comfortable with SQL but want to dig deeper into T-SQL side. I searched on the Internet but not many good books available in that either they are ranked very low or are very old i.e. written around 1999/2000 or covers SQL Server 2000 as a whole. Can anybody suggest me any T-SQL book which was written recently and focuses purely or majorly on T-SQL?

Thanks to all for your time and advice in advance.

Indexing Suggestions

Jun 29, 2006

I'm looking for some help on how i should index this table.

current table has about 500k records in it.
the fields in the table are:
member_num (varchar(12), not null)
first_name (varchar(20), null)
last_name (varchar(20), null)
ssn (varchar(50), null)
address1 (nvarchar(200), null)
address2 (nvarchar(200), null)
city (nvarchar(200), null)
state (nvarchar(200), null)
zip (nvarchar(100), null)
phone1 (nvarchar(50), null)

all of the fields are searchable through an asp.net webform.

my first stab at this consisted of creating a clustered index on member_num and then creating a separate index for each of the remaining fields.

Suggestions Needed

Sep 7, 2007

What I have.
I have a spreadsheet that is used in 4 or more locations on a daily basis by 1-3 ppl per locations. The spreadsheet is used to gather Quality Control information. So everyday there are a couple of spreadsheets from each system that is used to generate weekly and monthly reports. This is becoming to much work and I would like to automate the process.

What I have access to.
I currently run a Sharepoint 2007 Server for all our collaboration and document needs.
I also have the ability to setup any sql server.

What I want.
I want the QC techs in each system to be able to upload the data at the end of each day and be done with it. This way they do not have email or do a weekly report.
I would prefer to use Sharepoint and create reports weekly and monthly that can be pulled just by going to a site.

I'm knowledgeable in Sharepoint and Excel. I have some skills in VBA. I haven't dealt with SQL any, but willing to learn.
Also I'm knowledgeable in Microsoft Access as well.



Any suggestions on how I could accomplish this would be appreciated.

TIA

Learning To Be A DBA--suggestions?

Apr 26, 2004

Hi Guys,

Well, as a VB/VBA applications developer I'm not well prepared for this, but it looks like I will be riding herd on a production SQL Server.

TSQL I know well enough to get along, but where can I get a fast fix on all the logins, security, and process management info? Today we had a DTS package crash overnight and it took me forever to figure out that it had left half a dozen tables locked. (Note that the scripts for the DTS package are being re-written as we speak with use of transactions and NOLOCK.) Meanwhile tech support was handling a whole mess of grumpy users.

Are there any books you would recommend as resources/references? Is there a particular author who is good at writing the stuff you really need to know in English that can be read by a mere mortal like I? I am fond of the Microsoft resources/help files but I'd like to have somthing that holds highlighter and post-it flags a bit better. Not to mention something that focuses more on the beast as a whole rather than the minutia at length.

Thanks for any suggestions!

I have a set of tables with about the same structure

dataID, recordID, 15 other columns

dataID is unique but is never referenced in queries

recordID is one of the most referenced columns but only has a cardinality of about 30%

The current structure has a clustered PK on (dataID,recordID)

Someone suggested reversing the clustered PK to (recordID,dataID) because of the number of references to recordID but that didn't seem to boost performance any

After staring at this for a while I came up with something but I'd like some advice whether it makes sense or not.

create a non-clustered PK on dataID
create a non-unique clustered index on recordID

Let me know if any other information is needed. Thanks

E.g., iwant to know the number of records for each team_id where team_id ishome_team_id or away_team_id.I'm doing this in two separate select statements now. Example:SELECT count(home_team_id),home_team_id FROM gamesWHERE league_id = 218 and ((home_score IS NOT NULL OR away_score ISNOT NULL) OR (home_score <> 0 OR away_score <> 0))GROUP BY home_team_idandSELECT count(away_team_id),away_team_id FROM gamesWHERE league_id = 218 and ((home_score IS NOT NULL OR away_score ISNOT NULL) OR (home_score <> 0 OR away_score <> 0))GROUP BY away_team_idand then combining the results. Is there anyway to combine these toqueries into one query? ...and have a single result set returned withtwo columns (count,team_id)?Thanks,Glenn
