Hi,
does anyone know a way, using native SQL, to store a result of a query in an image field of a certain table.
The case is we have a selfmade replication to communicate with several SQL servers in stores, this replication is over a telephone line. So we collect all the data using SQL statements and store them in a separate table as an image field. This is done know through a Delphi application that streams the resultset to a image field.
Thanks in advance,
I am creating a document management systems using asp. I have beenresearching the different ways of handling the documents such as using thefile system and storing the path in the db, and actually storing thedocument in the db. I like the idea of storing it in the database muchbetter because I can allow users to manage documents themselves (I alreadyhave the code in place to do it if I decide), having a central system withthe ability to add my own document properties by adding fields to the table,security, and backups. I have found that most think it is better to storethe path due to performance issues and the rate the db can grow. I havelooked at our current system in access and we have a total of 4400 documents(of which probably 25% are in the database but don't actually exist anymorein the file system, one hangup about the file system) since 1988. Thiscomes to about 300 documents added each year. The other thing is the issuewith the size of the db. I don't see a whole lot of difference with thisissue because it is going to take up space in your file system too, althoughthe file system may be more efficient at storing them. I would say that 95%of our docs are under 1 mb in size and done in ms word.The last thing is using full-text search capabilities in SQL Server. I needto be able to search the contents of the field.Is there other issues around storing documents in the db to consider besidesthe above?

Images, PDFs, word documents, etc..., will it affect the performance of my sql if I stored them in it as blob objects? Or it's better to use the filesystem instead and just store file paths in my sql?
thanks in advance
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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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:PictureProductGrocery 0052745.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.
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?

Hi
I have a asp:FileUpload conponent that I am trying to use to retrieve a picture file from the clients pc and store it in a SQL database.
The table is called PropertyImage and it contains the following fields:
imgID (type = int - autoincrement); imgData (type = Image); imgTitle (type = VarChar); imgType (type = VarChar); imgLength (type = BigInt);
I have a button (Button1) which when clicked calls Button1_Click()
--------------------------------------------------protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{byte[] fileData = null;
Boolean status = false;if (FileUpload1 != null)
{
// Make sure the file has data.if ((FileUpload1.PostedFile != null) && (FileUpload1.PostedFile.ContentLength > 0))
{
// Get the filename.string fn = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(FileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName);
try
{
// Access the file stream and begin the upload. Store the file in a memory byte array.Stream MyStream = FileUpload1.PostedFile.InputStream;
long iLength = MyStream.Length;fileData = new byte[(int)MyStream.Length];MyStream.Read(fileData, 0, (int)MyStream.Length);
MyStream.Close();
}catch (Exception ex)
{ }
}
}SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection("Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\heidihomes.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True");
try
{
connection.Open();SqlCommand sqlCmd = new SqlCommand("INSERT INTO PropertyImage (imgData, imgaTitle, imgType, imgLength) VALUES(@data,@title,@type,@length)");
SqlParameter param = new SqlParameter();
// String connectionString = new SqlConnection(sqlCmd, connection);
param = new SqlParameter("@data", SqlDbType.Image);
param.Value = fileData;
sqlCmd.Parameters.Add(param);param = new SqlParameter("@title", SqlDbType.VarChar);
param.Value = fileData;
sqlCmd.Parameters.Add(param);param = new SqlParameter("@type", SqlDbType.VarChar);
param.Value = fileData;
sqlCmd.Parameters.Add(param);param = new SqlParameter("@length", SqlDbType.BigInt);
param.Value = fileData;
sqlCmd.Parameters.Add(param);
sqlCmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
connection.Close();status = true;
}catch (Exception ex){ }if (status)
{
UploadStatus.Text = "File Uploaded Successfully";Server.Transfer("Admin_PropertyView.aspx");
}
else
{UploadStatus.Text = "Uploaded Failed";
}
}
}
--------------------------------------------------
But when I click on the button, nothing happens.
Please could someone help me out here. I have tried this a few times and still haven't come right.
Also, if there is something else wrong with the code, please let me know.
Thanking you in advance.

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...
i am working on a uni project based on orkut and is having dfficulty in storing and retrieving images..

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.

hi experts,
how can i store images in database? and how can i call them back?

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 ?

i would like to know how i can store and retrive images from SQL server.
I will be happy if i have been explained with some examples.
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!
