I have a directory of files that I would like to upload with some data
to a table so that I can store the files in the db. I'm not trying to
parse files into rows, I want to stick the actual file in the column.
Is there some kind of insert script, or bulk copy that I can use?
I have about 150 docs and I would rather not go through the whole app,
pick the file, upload it. etc.
thx,

I'm trying to upload an image to a database along with some other info. I have a form to get all the info from the user that I want to put in the database. Everything's getting into the database except for the actual image data. When I do a "select * from table" query on the database, the Image field reads "err", however I have an imagetype field in the db and it reads "image/jpeg". I have the following code to get the image into the database:

View 2 Replies View RelatedI was following an example from the book "ASP.net unleashed" in Chapter 14, where it describes how to upload a file directly into the database.
I got it to insert the file into my database as described, and with changes created a master and detail form to select the file and display it.. (which I assume had worked).
Except, when attempting to access the file it gives two different errors. For a ppt file it gives:
The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing resource 'http://localhost:3870/SeminarOrganiser/view_file...
and for a simple txt file:
The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
Invalid at the top level of the document. Error processing resource 'http://localhost:3870/SeminarOrganiser/view_file.aspx?...SELECT suggestEvent.suggestID, suggestEvent.uID, users.uFirstName, users.uLastName, users.uEmail, suggestEvent.suggestTitle,...From these two errors, I cannot really make sense of what has gone wrong or even why XML has even been mentioned. Looking around on the net has not allowed me any further progress.In any case, would anyone be able to explain to me what might have gone wrong?Alternatively, any links that may help would be greatly appreciated.Thank you very much in advance.
Scenario: I have 80 RDL files which will be delivered to a customer to upload into their SSRS database.
Issue: Is it possible to bulk upload RDL files into SSRS instad of loading each file individually ?
If anyone has found any information on this and can direct me to it, I would be very grateful.

I have a webpage where I want to upload pdf files to my database (arround 2 MB). Putting them inside the database is the choice based on audit definitions the client has.The problem is that for big file uploads, I get the "Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding." error.I believe the solution is expanding the connection timeout time in the SQL connection. But I don't want to do that in web.config, as a small timeout is good for every page except this one.What I was thinking about was something like, on button command:- "create new connection string"- use that connection string to upload the file using the datatables and tableadapters- turn back to the default connection string. How do I explicitly tell the system to "use THIS connection string on the next task" ?Alternatively, another way of doing is also appreciated!

I'd like to be able to store allthe files directly in the database so that backing everything up is asingle operation (I can do this, right?). Data retrieval speed is notoverly critical, as the code in question will be running on the samemachine as the database and will only have a single instance of theclient application.

I need to store a few thousand images in a sql server database.
I've managed to write the asp code to retrieve images that are already in the pubs database, but haven't been able to find a satisfactory way of inserting new pictures in the first place.
At the moment we're using Notes and its great 'cos you just cut and paste them in. But now we need to take them all out and put them into sql server it's proving to be a nightmare. Any clues anyone??
Anyone have any luck using "Upload multiple files to SQL Server Image column"
www.databasejournal.com/features/mssql/article.php/3444771
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!

As part of a web site I allow users to store documents in SQL Server 2000 using an Image column on a table. After the file is saved the user can open the document through the browser. This works great for most file extensions such as ".XLS" or ".DOC" but fails when attempting to open ".MSG" files (saved outlook messages). XLS documents will open in Excel and DOC documents open in Word, but MSG documents open in Notepad and display what appears to be binary data. I'm trying to figure out if this is a SQL Server issue or some sort of ASP/ASP.NET webserver issue.
If I attempt to open an MSG file stored directly on the web server, the file opens correctly using the "Microsoft Outlook View Control", but when attempting to open the same file saved in SQL Server, it attempts to open in notepad.
Any ideas?
I have been fighting with this all day. If you can point me in the right direction I'd appreiciate it. I need to load about 500 jpg files into a table. The table has 3 columns an "ID", "Filename" which has the filename of the jpg in it already, but not the unc path, and a ("Photo" Image Datatype)column which is not populated yet. I need to store the Image file in the photo field so that I can run reports in reporting services and so on and so forth. I am not sure how to complete this task.

When images are uploaded and stored directly into a sql database as binary data (eg in the club starter kit) how can those images be accessed and displayed.
When I open the images table in VWD and select display data, the cells holding the image data hold a <binary data> tag. What I want to be able to do is get at that data, or actually get at the image so that it is displayed. My reason is this, at the moment the only way to access the images in the sql database after they have been uploaded is to log into the website and view them as an administrator of the site. It would be much simpler if I could access the database directly and view the contents of the images table.
Any ideas?
Thanks
I want to be able to load and unload, byte-for-byte, a file to and from a field of data type IMAGE in a SQL Server CE database. The files are larger than 8000 bytes so IMAGE appears to be the way to go data type wise.
I'm using VB 2008 but pseudocode for any VS language would be awesome.
I was able to do this without much effort using ADODB and its stream object, fetching a recordset object and updating the appropriate data field one "chunk" of bytes at a time. I cannot for the life of me find a way of doing this using, for example, a SqlCeResultSet.
I've tried using ADODB to connect to a SqlCe SDF database file, using a connection string that I found online, and am able to write action and select queries successfully against the database... but when I try and return a recordset that is updatable, it returns an error. So no help there.
I've searched other threads in the forums, and online in general, and I've found information on loading/unloading graphic files using a memoryStream and the toArray method thereof, but this will not work as many of the files I want to load and unload as BLOBs are not graphical in nature. FileStreams do not implement the toArray method, so I can't just stream an arbitrary file's worth of bytes that way. I also do not want to change the original file in any fashion--e.g., a hash of the source file should be identical to the file after it has been loaded into the data field and then unloaded into a new file.
Any thoughts? Your help is MUCH appreciated!

View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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.

hi all,
i have created a table with image field in it. Now i just want to store a jpeg file in it but not finding any way to do so.
how can i store any image ? what are the steps???????
thanx in advance
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.
thanks for your help.
I have learned lots of informative thing from your forums. I have little problem regarding “Display image from SQL Server on ASP.NET� I have done it and image display on my page from SQL Server. I have cleared you here I have adopt two different methods which are following for displaying picture.
1.Response.BinaryWrite(rd("picture"))
2.image.Save(Response.OutputStream, ImageFormat.Jpeg)
but in both above methods I have faced little problem when image display on my page all other information can not display and I also want to display picture on my specific location on the page. My second question is can use any web control like “Image1� to display image from SQL Server where my pictures are stored.
Hope you will help me.
