Add Many Images As Varbinary(max) To Table
Jun 6, 2008
Hello,
I am trying to create a statement that will update many rows in a table with images, stored as varbinary(max), into a new column.
The path/file information is all stored in another table, but I can't find a way to update more than 1 at a time. Here is the statement that works for 1 row at a time:
update tblphotos set photo = (select
BulkColumn from
Openrowset( Bulk '\**servername**PropsImagesDon Giovanni 2002PropsHorses Guts 2.jpg', Single_Blob) as photo
)
where photoseq = 27
but if I try to do something like this:
CREATE TABLE #temp (
photoSeq int,
photoLoc varchar(255),
photo varbinary(max)
)
INSERT #temp
select p.photoseq, f.fldlocation + p.photophyloc as files,
(select
BulkColumn from
Openrowset( Bulk f.fldlocation + p.photophyloc, Single_Blob) as photo
)
FROM txprops t
join tblfolders f on t.fldlocation = f.fldseq
join tblphotos p on p.photopropseq = t.propseq
begin tran
update a set photo = b.photo
from tblphotos a
join #temp b on a.photoseq = b.photoseq
where a.photoseq = b.photoseq
select * from tblphotos order by photophyloc
commit tran
drop table #temp
I get an error: Incorrect syntax near 'f'.
I think this is because I can only put a path in beside BULK.
I have investigated BULK and bcp commands, but cannot find anything to satisfy this. I tried the DTS package route, but am not getting very far.
Any suggestions? Is DTS the solution for me?

Hey all,
I have a profile table for members of a website that allows them to upload an avatar for use throughout the site. I decided to add the option to just remove the avatar if they want to no longer use one at all and I am stuck.
I am running an update statement against thier entire profile incase they change more then just removing thier avatar but of course when I try this statement.
myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@avatar", "")
I get a conversion error, which makes sence. So what instead of "" do I need for code to just insert empty data to overwirte thier current avatar data.
Any help would be great, thanks for you time.

Hey all,
Another varbinary question.
I am trying to move an image stored in a table varbinary(max) directly from one table to another programmatically.
The rest of the data is just nvarchar(50) so I just use a T-SQL select statement in the code behind and feed all of the date into an SqlDataReader, I do this becuse there is some user interaction when the data is moved, so there may be some new values updated when transfering from one table to another, so once the old and possibly new data is stored in seperate variables then I use a T-SQL insert statement to move all of the data into the other table.
Problem is I am not really sure how to handle the image data(varbinary(max)) to just do a straight up transfer from the one table to another. I get conversion errors when trying to handle the data as a string which makes sense.
Not sure what to put for code examples since I really am stumped with this, but here is what is not working.
Dim imageX As String
SqlDataReader Code - imageX = reader("imageData")
Insert code - myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@imageData", imageX)
Thanks in advance,

I have a very large database running in a production environment. The backup files are getting to be very difficult to manage. They are at 70gb as of now and growing at a rate of 10gb per month. This is due to document images being stored in the database in one table. I have read a little about a new feature in SQL Server 2012 called Filetable. Can we migrate to SQL Server 2012 and convert to the filetable structure, will this decrease the size of the backups? Would backup of the document images be taken care of by our nightly file system backups now?

Can you store images in a database or in a table, or do you have to only store the image path/name in the database while the image is in another folder? IF anyone knows, please share with me. Thanks.

Here's what I've got.
We have a table that needs to be populated with a Foreign Key and an image file that matches it. The image file is named the the person's SSN which matches the FK.
Is there a way I can use the name of the file (123456789.jpg) to import it into the database or is there a better way?

Hella all,
Is it possible to stack two images on top of each other in a table ?
Let me clarify where i'm going to.
I have a report where in one table i would like to display (in a graphical way) how much a sales person has sold towards
the whole sales amount.
To do so i would like to set my background of my cell to yellow and then use an image (just a green rectangle)
where i adjust the padding according to the percentage.
When i set my background to yellow and i insert my image in the cell, the textbox cell properties disapear and are
replaced with the image properties. So also my background that was defined in my textbox is gone.
Now i was thinking if i could set two images on top of each other (a yellow rectangle and a green rectangle). But when
i do that, one image is replaced with another.
Am i doing something wrong or is there another way to achieve what i want to do?

);
[Code] ....

I am trying to produce a matrix (crosstab) report in SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services Report Designer, where the column headers contain a binary data type storing a png image.
By just simply using the report wizard and assigning the binary (image) data value to the column headers, and then previewing the report, I get following error:
An error occurred during local report processing.An error has occurred during report processing.The Group expression used in grouping 'matrix1_COMPETITOR_EMBLEM' returned a data type that is not valid.
Is there any way to include binary data types, or images per se from the database into a matrix or even table item in a report ?

Hi,
We have a large database table with an IMAGE field holding documents of < 1MB size.
Over time this table has become quite large and operations on it have become slow.
My question is, would changing from IMAGE to varbinary(max) make the binary storage more efficient thereby making the table operations faster.
Also, would the table size be smaller with varbinary(max)?
Thanks

hello.
i want to do something with this database but i don't know how:
there is this column that is varbinary and i want to replace just one part of its content, for example:
this is its content:
'CC08FF806785'
and i just want to change the FF for AA.
i tried using query analyzer with this:
update table
set column=replace(column,'FF','AA')
but it says something like conversion isn't allowed from data varchar to varbinary and that i should use the function "convert" but i don't know how to use that!
does anyone know how to do that?
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.

when I try using code I get all defferent errors...examples on net are one where you convert picture into blob, like this
Dim fs As New FileStream ("c:some.bmp", FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Read)
Dim iLen As Integer = CInt(fs.Length)
Dim bBLOBStorage(iLen) As Byte
fs.Read(bBLOBStorage, 0, iLen)
fs.Close()bBLOBStorage is parameter for stored proc...but I have different situation...my blobs are all in one file

Hello,
Would you please be kind to answer my question !
I have developed an ASP.NET Web application using SQL Server Express 2005 in my local PC where I have used VarBinary(MAX) for an image data storage. It is working fine in my computer. Now, I have configured my SQL Server 2005 in my production server using MyLittleAdmin, I found that, I can not set the value MAX for VarBinary, so I am forced to enter the value of varBinary = 8000. Now, When I insert image to this field more than 8KB, I get the following message,
"String or binary data would be truncated."
So, what does it mean, Is it not really possible to store image or file data in VarBinary which is more than 8KB ? if yes, then how can I configure my table for that using MyLittleAdmin ?
Regards

I have been instructed to setup a database that will allow the storing of files in binary format. I have looked at using the varbinary(max) data type on a column to store the information. I am not sure based on books online how much information this can store. I have files that could be as large as 5-10 GB in size. Will SQL 2005 support storing these in binary format with that data type?

If I have a Varbinary(MAX) column and I want to update all of it what will give me the best performance.
Calling

Set Data = @data
or calling this multiple times
Update Table
Set Data .Write(@data, @offset, @length)

I need to run a replace on a varbinary field but I am unsure how. I have tried mulitple different methods and to no avail. I am stumped.
I have attached a zip folder that contains a spreadsheet that shows what I am trying to do. In the first tab it shows the SQL command I use to call the field I want to change. In this case it's the Content field and I am calling it using the content_key. As you can tell the content is stored as varbinary. In the second sheet, It shows this varbinary being converted to varchar(max) and it shows what the actual text says.
The table that this information is stored is is called digitalassetcontent
I need to remove the
Code:
<STYLE>H1{font-weight:bold}H1{font-size: 14pt}OL</STYLE><H1>Product Description</H1>
That is in front of the actual product description.
Somehow I need to run this command:
Code:
Update digitalassetcontent
set content = replace(CAST(content as varchar(max)), '<STYLE>H1{font-weight:bold}H1{font-size: 14pt}OL</STYLE><H1>Product Description</H1>','')
Where CAST(content as varchar(max)) like '<STYLE>H1{font-weight:bold}H1{font-size: 14pt}OL</STYLE><H1>Product Description</H1>%' AND content_key = 'desc214974236480438500781058983745755010'
This is the error message I get when running this code: Implicit conversion from data type varchar(max) to varbinary(max) is not allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query.
On the varbinary field. How do I do this?

It would be nice if SQL Server Everywhere could support NVARCHAR(MAX) and VARBINARY(MAX), even if they would just be alias' for NTEXT and IMAGE. This would somewhat simplify the interoperability with SQL Server 2005 (i.e. no need to have different scripts for each database type).
