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.

I'm guessing the best way / only way to store a filename is to store it as a varchar?
I'm using it as a reference to pictures wefor a gallery

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?

Hi,
I have inherited a database that has a table called "Resources" that contains a field called "FilePath". FilePath is a VarChar(100) and contains the server path and filename of an XML file on the server hard disk.
I need to join the data in the XML with rows in the "Resources" table (and other tables).
Is it possible to get a Stored Procedure to load the XML file into a temporary table?
Is loading it into a table the best way to do it - or can I join directly to the XML file somehow?
What is the best approach? (I know nothing about XML in SQL Server yet)
Thanks in advance,
Chiz.

I have to extract only the filename from the below filepath.
The first part prodserverexport always remains the same. A new folder is created prodserverexport 20071001, prodserverexport 200710012 etc each time the file is dropped . I want to extract only the part after that namely 20071001-200001-e430f8fd-PREC272.wma and like wise and dump it into a table.
prodserverexport2007100120071001-200001-e430f8fd-PREC272.wma

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...

Using the "move" command it's possible to relocate e.g. datasources without negatively impacting reports that use them. We've got some folders where users have uploaded images for reuse in several reports as external images (2008 R2).
Now I'm trying to consolidate these folders. Yet it seems, moving images will not update the reports that use them as it happens with datasource. Instead, the link to the image breaks.
Is there a way to move the images and telling the reports that reference them that I did so?

In an ASP.NET app, where is the preferred place (or your preferred place, I should say) to store any SQL Statements (updates, selects, stored procedure calls, etc.) you have? I have been using a key/value pair in AppSettings in my web.config but just feel like that isn't the best way. What say you?

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!

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.

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: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?
