Which Is Better? Storing Data In The Database OR Storing It In The File System
Dec 29, 2006Hello there,I just want to ask if storing data in dbase is much better than storing it in the file system? Because for one, i am currenlty developing my thesis which uploads a blob.doc file to a web server (currently i'm using the localhost of ASP.NET) then retrieves it from the local hostAlso i want to know if im right at this, the localhost of ASP.NET is the same as the one of a natural web server on the net? Because i'm just thinking of uploading and downloading the files from a web server. Although our thesis defense didn't require us to really upload it on the net, we were advised to use a localhost on our PC's. I'll be just using my local server Is it ok to just use a web server for storing files than a database?
View 6 Replies View RelatedDesigning A Database Within A Database... Design Question Storing Data...
Jul 23, 2005I have a system that basically stores a database within a database (I'msure lots have you have done this before in some form or another).At the end of the day, I'm storing the actual data generically in acolumn of type nvarchar(4000), but I want to add support for unlimitedtext. I want to do this in a smart fashion. Right now I am leaningtowards putting 2 nullable Value fields:ValueLong ntext nullableValueShort nvarchar(4000) nullableand dynamically storing the info in one or the other depending on thesize. ASP.NET does this exact very thing in it's Session State model;look at the ASPStateTempSessions table. This table has both aSessionItemShort of type varbinary (7000) and a SessionItemLong of typeImage.My question is, is it better to user varbinary (7000) and Image? I'mthinking maybe I should go down this path, simply because ASP.NET does,but I don't really know why. Does anyone know what would be the benifitof using varbinary and Image datatypes? If it's just to allow saving ofbinary data, then I don't really need that right now (and I don't thinkASP.NET does either). Are there any other reasons?thanks,dave

I've read that if data schema is complex and higly variable it may be better to use an xml document and store that in a databse. However I dont quite understand how you store xml to a database. Do you simply store the entire structure in something like a nvarchar column or is there some other way to store xml to a database.
If you store the entire structure to the databse then how do you query the content to generate reports.

Storing Images In A Database
Oct 6, 2005An odd question from me, I know, but this time, I assure you a twist.
I have a group that wants to store images in either a database or a file share, in order to make a certain website able to run on a load balanced web farm. These images are around 1KB each in size, and have a lifespan of exactly one use (think of graphs). I went a-googling, and found no shortage of articles that say "don't do it, but here's how you can do it", but I did not find any real hard statements as to why to not do it. Needless to say, this is hurting the case for not putting these images in the database. I have found an article that says images over 8KB will have worse performance, but I can not use that factoid here. For the moment, I have the developers leaning toward the fileshare, because they will be writing transaction logs all day, which will be more work than the fileshare needs to do....I think. The best I can do, is cut the text/image datatype overhead, and have them create the table as varbinary(2000), but even then, I don't like the look of the idea.
Anyone out there have good articles/whitepapers that detail the differences between writing single-use images to a fileshare vs. a SQL database? <baiting=blatant>Failing that, do any of the Microsoft development team have an opinion?</baiting>
Alternatively, what is the general opinion of keeping session state information in a database (because I bet that will be my next battle). I see .NET includes a session state server, but not being a programmer, I can not create an opbjective test.

Storing SMS To My SQL Database..help Guys!!!
May 8, 2007i use a teltonika t-modem gsm modem..
it's quite new actually and it is connected to my PC thru a usb port..
my problem now is that
i can,t seem to get the hang in storing received messages in
my SQL database..
the code goes like this..
a receive button is clicked to generate an instance
where all SMS sent to my sim card would then be accessed by my gsm modem..
private void btnReceive_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ListViewItem Component;
Cursor c = Cursor.Current;
Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor;
listView1.Items.Clear();
btnReceive.Enabled = false;
objGsmIn.Device = cmbDevice.SelectedItem.ToString();
objGsmIn.LogFile = txtLogging.Text;
if (cmbDeviceSpeed.SelectedIndex == 0)
{
objGsmIn.DeviceSpeed = 0;
}
else
{
objGsmIn.DeviceSpeed = System.Int32.Parse(cmbDeviceSpeed.Text);
}
objGsmIn.Storage = fMsgStore.MsgStorage;
if (fMsgStore.DelMsg == true)
{//deletes your message after receiving
objGsmIn.DeleteAfterReceive = 1;
}
objGsmIn.Receive(); //this checks your new incoming messages
if (objGsmIn.LastError == 0)
{
objGsmIn.GetFirstMessage();
while (objGsmIn.LastError == 0)
{
//continously receive all messages..
Component = listView1.Items.Add(objGsmIn.MessageSender);
Component.SubItems.Add(objGsmIn.MessageData);
objGsmIn.GetNextMessage();
}
txtResults.Text = "Messages Successfully Received..";
}
else
{
//error in message receiving process..
txtResults.Text = "Error " + objGsmIn.LastError + "(" + objGsmIn.GetErrorDescription(objGsmIn.LastError) + ")";
}
btnReceive.Enabled = true;
Cursor.Current = c;
}
now my problem is that i cant figure out where i would place my stored procedure
in storing those messages to my database..
the problem is that..
if i place my stored procedure on the 1st "IF" statement..
it will only save my 1st incoming message..
but another thing is that if i put it under my "WHILE" statement..
dont you think that it will continiously loop?
meaning to say that the next tym i tried to access all my received messages
it would definitely store all the previously read messages again to my database..
which then creates multiple copies of my previously stored messages again and again
well i hope you get the gist of what i mean..
its quite complicated to explain..
but then again thanks a lot for taking notice on my post regarding this..
thanks!!^_^
another thing..i used the active xperts c# application in order to
create this application..

Storing Vs Calculating Data

So for example, I am creating a table that stores articles and then a table to store the pages to the article. If a new page is added should I update the pages field in the articles table or should I calculate the number of pages for an article when it's queried? Thanks,John

Apr 7, 2008From what I've read this is called 'slowly changing dimensions'. Bassically the system I'm working on needs to store the history of certain data so that at any time a user can look up an old project and view it exactly as is, even though the associated parts might have had certain changes over time. From what I can tell Type 2 ( current and historical records are stored in the same table) seems to be the most popular. Type 4 (current records in one table and historical records in a seperate history table) seems like it would also work but I've been unable to find any articles comparing the two. Does anybody have any info on the dis/advantages of one v.s. the other?
