Can Varchar(max) Store Images In Sql ?

Jun 18, 2007

If you serialize the image into a string ?  If you want to save a byte array to a string, do you have to use a base64 encoded string ?

What Is The Better Way To Store Images In MSSQL 2000?

Jan 2, 2004

hi guys, are there any official or some sort of documents to talk about the advantages and disadvantages of storing image in the SQL's Image datatype field or storing the pointer to the image file? i have lots of static images (no more than 1MB each) that requires little updating and i need to retrieve them constantly. i am really struggled here on which method i should store the images: to store the images as Image datatype in SQL or save them as files and store the paths to the files. i would like to know, in my case, would there be any performance and efficient difference on using either method?
naturally, i'd think the 1st method seems like a better solution. it's easier to back up and it protects integrity. But at the same time, i am not sure if the constant inserting and retrieving of images will affect the performance? also, i want to share the images and may create a ticker thing (using JavaScript) to display the images on the web page randomly and it seems like the 2nd method is easier to program. if you were me, which method would you use and why? thanks!

Looking For Opinions.....want To Use SQL Server To Store Images

Apr 25, 2006

I have a client who wants to be able to upload images to his website for his customers to access.  It will probably max out at 100 images a month...so not a huge amount of data.  I am using asp.net 2.0 and SQL Server 2005. 
Does anyone have thoughts or opinions on why I should or should not take this approach?

How Do I Store Images (like GIFs) In Sql Server 2005?

Jan 2, 2007

I have a web server running fine together with an sql 2005 db. I use asp as my web server programming language and want to be able to display images that are stored in the database.

My question of course is how do I put images, for example an image called "image1.gif" into the database?

After having stored the images in the db, I guess that the are displayed on my web pages the same way as all text information (by writing something like <%=rs("image_column")%> ).... Anyway first I need help with how to store imgs in the database...

Images - Store In A Database Or File System?

Jun 19, 2007

I have recently designed and built my first database using SQL server 2005 express. I have included an image (BLOB) column in one of the database tables. This is a bad idea according to some experts, and some say it is OK!


I am currently carrying out a trial with just 3 pictures via Visual Basic 2005 express forms, and there is no problem so far as the images are displayed for each record. But I anticipate between 300 - 1000 images for the table, and this could pose real problems for SQL server 2005 express and Visual Basic 2005 express, I guess.


I have just been reading that the cost of storing large images in the database is too high! I have also read it's better to store images (BLOB) into the file system because it is cheaper to store them no matter how many there are.


But the question is how I can reference an image in this path: C:PictureProductGrocery0052745.jpg in the database table, so that when I select a record Visual Basic 2005 forms the image is displayed accordingly, similar as when stored directly in the database table? Your help very much appreciated.

How To: Store And Retrieve Images In A Database As A Byte Array.

Feb 28, 2008

I€™ve inherited a project from one of the guys on our team who will be out sick for a while. He developed two for marshaling data between System.Drawing.Image and System.Byte(). He€™s storing the byte array data in a database image field.

I€™ve retrieved the byte array data from his database image fields and have successfully converted them to images using his ConvertByteArrayToImage method below. I have also converted and image to a byte array with his ConvertImageToByteArray method below and succfully stored the data in a database image field. However, when I retrieve the byte array data that I stored in the database the last line in his ConvertByteArrayToImage method throws an exception (Parameter is not valid). I€™ve not been able to find a working copy of his code that€™s storing the byte array data. Does anyone see anything I€™m overlooking?

Photos In SQL Server: Store As Images Or Strings With Path && Filename?

Apr 4, 2008

Hi, for my photo album database I'm trying to decide whether to store the actual photos as images in the db or whether to leave them in file directories with just the path & filename in the db. As a beginner in this field I don't know how either of these options compare (e.g. in terms of performance, complexity, flexibility and maintainablity) so any advice on the pros and cons of each would be appreciated.

Using Varchar To Store A Sting Of Values From A Checkboxlist

Aug 25, 2004

I am using the varchar data type in sql to store a comma-delimited string of multiple selections from a checkboxlist.

The string only has about 28-30 characters in it, but it maxes out the sql row length and I get the 8060 error message every time.

Here is some of the code:


"Dim industry1list As String
Dim li As ListItem
industry1list = ""
For Each li In industry1.Items
If li.Selected = True Then
industry1list = industry1list & li.Value & ","
End If
Next
....
MyCommand.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@industry1", SqlDbType.VarChar, 60))
MyCommand.Parameters("@industry1").Value = (industry1list)"


I would appreciate any coaching you have for me to get back on track. Thanks, Bob

Store As VARCHAR Or Normalise In A Child Table?

Jun 1, 2007

Should I change my current design which has a Lookup Child Table and a Parent Table containing a ID link tot he Child Table, and instead just putting a varchar for the Value in the Parent Table?

The issue is that the value is unique for a large percentage of cases (although some specific values reoccur very frequently).

However, the parent table has a high number of inserts, and that in turn often requires inserts to the Child Table, which in turn pushes the Child Table out of shape, and performance suffers.

The data is very seldom used (usually for debugging only)

Should I de-Normalise this for performance?

Details of the actual circumstances:

I have a table that Logs each "page hit" on our web site. That stores the "Referrer".

We store the Referrer for the SESSION separately (the first page viewed will have an external referrer, thereafter all pages will have an "internal" referrer).

This Referrer data is used VERY LITTLE - just for the occasional debugging issue.

Within some URLs are frequently used (www.mydomain.com/HOME.ASP) and others contain &Parameters and stuff and are either relatively unique(www.mydomain.com/ViewBasket.ASP&BasketID=1234) or variable (www.mydomain.com/ViewProduct.ASP&ProductID=1234)

Currently I store the Referrer in a Child "Lookup" Table, and the PK ID in the "Logging" Table.

Some analysis of the data shows:

119,509 rows (pages logged [purged after a couple of days, only includes data where the Referrer is not blank!])

Of those there are 10,760 distinct Referrer values. An average of 11 Page Hits per Referrer value.

On the face of it that suggests that using a child table is good! However, for each row inserted into the Page Hit table I have to do the following to get the Referrer ID:

SELECT @MyReferrerID = ID FROM MyLookupTable WHERE MyValue = @MyReferrerValue
IF @@ROWCOUNT = 0
INSERT ... @MyReferrerValue ...
SELECT @MyReferrerID = @@IDENTITY

(MyLookupTable has a PK on [ID] and a Unique Index on [MyValue] )

(In a busy month we will add 100,000 rows to this Lookup table, in a slack month 20,000. These get "purged" after a while, so the table size stays about the same. The table is defragged [if required] daily and the Stats updated. There are 350,000 rows in MyLookupTable)

Obviously some values in MyLookupTable reoccur, others are unique - and get purged after a while. Inserting these new entries pushes MyLookupTable out of shape, the SHOW_STATISTICS start to look awful, an sp_recompile sorts it out (Why? The query plan doesn't change ... although obviously the "shape" of the table has, maybe the Stats got auto-updated, would that change anything?)

So I'm thinking about just storing @MyReferrer as a VARCHAR in the Logging table, and throwing away MyLookupTable.

So really I'm just looking at performance, not Normalisation ...

What do you think?

Problems Moving Data Over 8000k In DB2 Varchar Column Into SQL Server Varchar(max) Using SSIS

Nov 20, 2007



I have looked far and wide and have not found anything that works to allow me to resolve this issue.

I am moving data from DB2 using the MS OLEDB Provider for DB2. The OLEDB source sees the column of data as DT_TEXT. I setup a destination to SQL Server 2005 and everything looks good until I try and run the package.

I get the error:
[OLE DB Source [277]] Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft DB2 OLE DB Provider" Hresult: 0x80040E21 Description: "Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.".

[OLE DB Source [277]] Error: Failed to retrieve long data for column "LIST_DATA_RCVD".

[OLE DB Source [277]] Error: There was an error with output column "LIST_DATA_RCVD" (324) on output "OLE DB Source Output" (287). The column status returned was: "DBSTATUS_UNAVAILABLE".

[OLE DB Source [277]] Error: The "output column "LIST_DATA_RCVD" (324)" failed because error code 0xC0209071 occurred, and the error row disposition on "output column "LIST_DATA_RCVD" (324)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component.

[DTS.Pipeline] Error: The PrimeOutput method on component "OLE DB Source" (277) returned error code 0xC0209029. The component returned a failure code when the pipeline engine called PrimeOutput(). The meaning of the failure code is defined by the component, but the error is fatal and the pipeline stopped executing.

Any suggestions on how I can get the large string data in the varchar column in DB2 into the varchar(max) column in SQL Server 2005?

I am trying to create a store procedure inside of SQL Management Studio console and I kept getting errors. Here's my store procedure.




Code Block
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[sqlOutlookSearch]

ELSE
SELECT * FROM [Outlook]

And the error I kept getting is:

The data types varchar and varchar are incompatible in the modulo operator.

SSIS - Importing Varchar From Access Into SQL2005 As Varchar

Nov 20, 2006

For the life of me I cannot figure out why SSIS will not convert varchar data. instead of using the table to table method, I wrote a SQL query so that I could transform the datatype ntext to varchar 512 understanding that natively MS is going towards all Unicode applications.

The source fields from Access are int, int, int and varchar(512). The same is true of the destination within SQL Server 2005. the field 'Answer' is the varchar field in question....



I get the following error

DTS used to be a very strong tool but a simple import such as this is causing me extreme grief and wondering of SQL2005 is ready for primetime. FYI SP1 is installed. I am running this from a workstation and not on the server if that makes a difference...

Any help would be appreciated.

Datatype Question Varchar(max), Varchar(250), Or Char(250)

Oct 18, 2007



I have a table that contains a lot of demographic information. The data is usually small (<20 chars) but ocassionally needs to handle large values (250 chars). Right now its set up for varchar(max) and I don't think I want to do this.

How does varchar(max) store info differently from varchar(250)? Either way doesn't it have to hold the container information? So the word "Crackers" have 8 characters to it and information sayings its 8 characters long in both cases. This meaning its taking up same amount of space?

Also my concern will be running queries off of it, does a varchar(max) choke up queries because the fields cannot be properly analyzed? Is varchar(250) any better?

Should I just go with char(250) and watch my db size explode?

Usually the data that is 250 characters contain a lot of blank space that is removed using a SPROC so its not usually 250 characters for long.

Any insight to this would be appreciated.

Difference VarChar(50) And VarChar(500)

Nov 26, 2007


Hey,

I was doing some research on how SQL stores data on disk.
MSDN states that when storring a varchar, only the length of the data itself is used plus two bytes.
So, if you store "car" in a VarChar(50) it will take 5 bytes.
But when you store "car" in a VarChar(500) it will also take 5 bytes.

What is the reason users should define the parameter lenght?
Can you use VarChar(8000) whole the time, without any drawback?


Thanks
