Can you store an Image in MS SQL Server 2005

Hello,
How possible is it to store customer uploaded images to MS SQL Server 2005.
Any examples and is there a down turn to retrieving the data from the DB?

How possible is it to store customer uploaded images to MS
SQL Server 2005.
Yes, you can store binary data in a BLOB (varbinary) column. Google turns up tons of hits on "storing images in sql server 2005". For example
http://www.databasejournal.com/features/mssql/article.php/3719221/Storing-Images-and-BLOB- files-in-SQL-Server.htm
Any examples

is there a down turn to retrieving the data from the DB?
It requires more database storage. So it can bloat your database. Plus there is the resources involved in retrieving the images from the database. Usually, it is better to just store the file path and save the actual image files on the file system.

The JDBC-ODBC bridge wasn't recognizing any of the primary keys I had set up in SQL Server. After lots of head banging, here's the solution I came up with:
1. Download the appropriate driver. SQL Server 2000 requires the SQL Server 2000 JDBC driver (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=07287B11-0502-461A-B138-2AA54BFDC03A&displaylang=en).
SQL Server 2005 download: (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=C47053EB-3B64-4794-950D-81E1EC91C1BA&displaylang=en)
3. After installing, right-click on "Libraries" in your project, and choose "Add Library...". Next, give it a name (i.e. SQLServer2000), and select "Class Libraries".
4. On the next screen, find the JAR files (should be in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC\lib\), and add them under the "Classpath" tab. It will now be available under "Libraries" for future projects.
5. You can now create a connection to a specific database under the "Services" tab (next to "Projects" and "Files" in the top left of the screen). Select "Microsoft Sql Server 2000 (Microsoft Driver)" and format the "Database URL" like this:
jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver//YOURSERVER:1433;DatabaseName=YOURDATABASE
1433 is the default port, though your DBA may have changed it.
I posted a simpler version of this on the NetBeans.org FAQ page - they had the following title with no content on the answer page:
"Cannot Select Tables From MsSql 2000 Because It Says No Primary Key Next To Each Table But The Tables DO Have A Primary Key. What Do I Do?"

Can't see data in data tab - sql server 2005

hello,
i am connected to a sql server 2005 database (with jtds driver), the connection is ok, i see the tables but i can't see data in data tab.
i have an error : incorrect syntax
somebody can help me ?
thank's in advance
alex

definitely. I was going to say, make sure you have the privileges to read data.
From Microsoft SQL Server 2000 on, it is recommended that you are a member of the db_datareader - so that data in the database can be read

Can you run Orchestrator on the same SQL server as SCCM?

500+ systems, and our SCCM data base is sizable. We're running SQL on a virtual server within our SAN. I can tell you just poking around on the server, I do feel its kinda slow and everything feels to kinda chug.... Might be better to just see if I can get approval on the spend for another license... I do know deep down thats the correct way to go.
Unless Orch is so light and hardly uses any resources that it can piggyback SCCM? The hard part is going to be to convince them to use something I am still learning to use. Ha! But I do have a book for it, so thats a step in the right direction.

So our current solution is MDT for deployments, and SCCM for software and updates deployment as well as software center self service.
I'm wanting to bring in Orchestrator to start using playbooks to automate everything. I see that all of Software Center's add-on parts don't cost anything, but all require SQL Server. Well I already have that running for SCCM. So can I share between the two? SCCM is already kind of a big hog, but I have zero to little knowledge of Orchestrator... Would that be just a little more stress on the server or a lot more? Does Orchestrator really need its own server?

Trying to serialize C# object and store as XML Datatype in Sql Server 2005

using
if (Obj != null)
             MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();
               StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(stream);
               XmlSerializer x = new XmlSerializer(Obj.GetType());

               byte[] arr = stream.GetBuffer();
               return Encoding.UTF8.GetString(arr).Trim();
The object looks like
    public class CorporateBondSec : BaseSecurity
        public double coupon; // CPN
        public string couponType; // CPN_TYPE
        public int couponFreq; // CPN_FREQ

I have also tried
XmlSerializer x = new XmlSerializer(Obj.GetType());
System.Text.StringBuilder builder = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
x.Serialize(XmlWriter.Create(builder), Obj);
return builder.ToString();
That gives me an XML

Tony,
this is how your XML should look like.
Code Snippet
'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<CorporateBondSec xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

<firstCpnDate>0001-01-01T00:00:00</firstCpnDate>
</CorporateBondSec>'
I see you have a few extra '\' characters before double quotes. you need to remove them.

Different versions of SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition

Some of our business processes still use SQL Server 2005 and I need to install Developer Edition on my desktop.
I have following downloads available in my MSDN subscription (other than Itanium):
SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition - DVD (English) - 1 DVD ISO
SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition - 64-bit Extended - 2x CD ISO
SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition - 32-bit - 2x CD ISO
The desktop is running 64-bit OS, so I definitely want to install 64-bit version. However, I am not sure what this "Extended" version available on CD-s is. Is this the only 64-bit version in existence? Or are there 2 different 64-bit versions
- "Extended" and "Non-Extended" (with non-extended possibly available on DVD - I haven't downloaded any images yet)?

SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition - DVD (English) - 1 DVD ISO
SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition - 64-bit Extended - 2x CD ISO
SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition - 32-bit - 2x CD ISO
The desktop is running 64-bit OS, so I definitely want to install 64-bit version. However, I am not sure what this "Extended" version available on CD-s is. Is this the only 64-bit version in existence? Or are there 2 different 64-bit versions - "Extended"
and "Non-Extended" (with non-extended possibly available on DVD - I haven't downloaded any images yet)?
SQL server 2005 is outdated so sorry if my answer is not to the point . First DVD version seems to me like installable which has both database engine and client tools present in it for installation
For second, SQL server 2005 installable was available in 2 CD's 1st CD was to install database engine/SSIS/SSAS/ SSRS features while second CD was to install specifically clint tools,books online legacy support . Its not possible to comment further without
looking at contents but I guess you can use 2nd one. CD 1 would have one part of installable and CD 2 would have second
And of course 3rd one is 32 bit of 2nd one.

Sql server replication from SQL SERVER VERSION(7.0) to SQL SERVER 2005

Hi All,
We are trying to create a replication between Sql server 7.0 data to SQL server 2005 data . We tried to create a local subscription in Sql server ,when tried to connect to publisher running in Sql server 7.0 it is showing an error message
like "This Sql server vresion(7.0) is not supported" .
Could any one please help us with this issue ?
Thanks
Sandy

Hi CRM_Learner,
SQL Server version 7.0 Service Pack 4 (SP4) is the earliest version that can participate in a replication topology with SQL Server 2005. We need to verify the version of SQL Server. If you configure transactional replication with updating subscribers,
for a SQL Server 7.0 Publisher, only SQL Server 7.0 Subscribers are supported. SQL Server 7.0, 2000 was out of support in the SQL Server Forums. I suggest you install SQL Server 2005 or later version to configure the SQL Server replication.
For more information, there is a detail about using multiple Versions of SQL Server in a replication topology.

How to install mini SAP in MS SQL Server 2005 Express?

Hi, is anyone know how to install the mini SAP v4.6 by using MS SQL Server 2005 Express?
I get error when connecting to the Database at 88% of the installation.
Please help. Thank you.

I do not think you can install miniSAP 4.6D on MS SQL server 2005 express.
1) you need the up todate patch to run on MSSE. If SAP did the work to allow it to run, it would be patch 55+. As supplied it is patch zero.
2) You can install on MSDE (MS SQL server 2000) patch 4. Look for my post INFO: Installing MiniSAP 4.6D on a named instance of MSDE (MS-SQL).
3) after the install on MSDE SP4 you would have to change the database code page to 'BIN2' look for the OSS note.
4) then you can start patching through to the most recent.
The main reason you cannot do this is MS have changed the version key format to include '.6' as extra info which SAP cannot interprate, too many dots.

SQL Server 2005 SSAS connect to BI possible?

Hi there,
I have tested the new .Net Data Provider 1.0 for SAP Netweaver BI in SQL Server Reporting Service (SSRS). What I am wondering is that could SQL Server Analysis Service (SSAS) connect to SAP BI, too? How to do this?
Best Regardly

Dear Tom,
You can use Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Integration Services (SSIS) for this connection or through XML for Analysis (XML/A) (an XML standard for Online Analytical Processing - OLAP) it can be done. But I am not sure weather this service is available or not as SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services, which is now certified to run reports on SAP BW.
As I have never ventured in this, I would suggest you to use documentations of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Integration Services (SSIS) and SSAS given by MS.
Also have a look at this doc:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/4ab89e84-0d01-0010-cda2-82ddc3548c65
Hope it helps.

SQL Server 2005 - CDC problem - real / float type

Dear Sirs,
I test the functionality of CDC in Business Objects Data Services 4.0 (14.0.1.245).
I am using SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition.
I made all the steps in accordance with the Designer Guide.
I see a table with the changes, I can change the target system using this information but I have one problem.
I have a problem with the real / float type.
If I make changes in the column real / float (in the table), tha I always see the number -999.000000.
Does anyone know how to deal with thie bug?
Best regards,
Michal

Sounds very much like a bug to me. I have seen these things in the past with regular tables whenever we had an issue around regional settings. Can you change your computer locale and SQL server language to english to proof it is that and keep it as a workaround for now?

Requirements of SQL Server 2005 Stored Procedures to Develop Crystal Report

Hi All,
I want to learn how to create crystal report off of SQL Server 2005 Stored Procedure. So anybody please let me know from where I can download the documentation on "Requirements of SQL Server 2005 Stored Procedures for crystal report.
I am using Crystal Report XI. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank You.

Hello,
When CR uses Stored Porcedures we only look at the last SELECT statement. We can't use TMP tables because they are owned by the system and not the user. Even though you created them under your logon credentials you are not the actual owner. Or so I have found so far.... CR does not have permissions to get to those temp tables. If you can find out dynamically what the table names are called then it may work. I don't have a sample but it has the usual table info with a random GUID or temp name, really long, and changes every time.
What should work is create a real table, not one of MS's tempTables and then push all your data to that table and then the last select statement returns all of your data from that temp table:
SELECT * FROM MYTEMPTABLE.DBO.TABLE.
Then CR should ahve no issues.
It may be that the JDBC driver has problems. Test it using OLE DB or ODBC.
Thanks again
Don

Installing SQL server 2005 on a different drive to C:

Does anyone know how to install SQL on a different drive using the SQL4SAP.VBS script. Does anyone know how to change the destination drive in the script? We have run out of space on C!

In the SDC under 'Installation and Upgrade Guides' you can find an installation guide for installing SQL Server 2005 manually. And then you can choose whatever drive is suitable for you.

Unable to start SQL Server Browser service in Sql server 2005

we are unable to start the SQL browser service on one of our machine with below error.
I believe this to be the reason, why we could not connect to the instance with below error
I tried troubleshooting as mentioned here, by changing
value in registry from 1 to 0, but still no luck.
SQLservices are also running.
Please help on how to resolve this!

Hello,
You say that SQL Server Browser Service belongs to a SQL Server 2005, but based on the name of the instance is a SQL Server
2012 instance.
Do you have any issues installing/uninstalling SQL Server 2005 or 2012? One of them 32-bit and the other 64-bit?
Hope this helps.

Transactions using SQL Server 2005

Hi,
I use SBO 2005A, with SP01 and PL04. I have just realized that I can't use transactions (company object) because SQL Server 2005 doesn't support them. Help file says:
"Using a meta data object in a transaction is available only while working with MSSQL 2000 bdatabase. For DB2, Sybase, and MSSQL 2005 databases this meta data objects are not applicable due to database limitations."
Is there any way to use transactions in this DataBase??
Thanks in advance,
Dulce.

"Metadata" in B1 / DI API means User-Defined Fields (UDF) / User-Defined Tables (UDT) / User-Defined Keys / User-Defined Objects (UDO)...
...which are used to administrate (add/update/remove) such DB objects which can be defined through the B1 aplication or DI API (not through DI Server).
Usually Add-Ons use these "matadata" objects to add UDFs, UDTs etc.
Besides adding the real DB objects to the DB some additional information is kept in administrative tables inside the particular company DB: UDFs => CUFD, UFD1; UDT => OUTB etc....
This is NOT about the data inside a UDT (or in UDFs)!!!

How can you upload an image to MYSQL using php?

Ok this is a joint thread with one of my other ones because no one else was posting on it, so I did not get what I needed, so, How can you upload an image to mysql so when some one logs on to my site, they see or can upload there own avatar, now there are loads of problems with this, 1) many people don't know how, 2) It's not every day you try to encode a image into mysql, 3) Letting people upload images into mysql can cause traffic problem with people trying to log in. So that's it.

Uploading images into MySQL is a bad idea, for more reasons than you mention. You should store the images in a directory on the server instead. But if you want to learn the hard way, here is the method:
The mysql data type must be blob.
The form enctype must be multipart, like this: enctype="multipart/form-data"
The form input field myst be type file, like this: <input type="file" name="upload"/>
Here is example code that prepares the variable $photodata to be inserted into the database.
$uploadfile = $_FILES['upload']['tmp_name'];
$photoname = $_FILES['upload']['name'];
$uploadtype = $_FILES['upload']['type'];
if ($uploadfile != "") {
$tempfile = fopen($uploadfile, 'rb');
$filesize=filesize($uploadfile);
$width=getimagesize($uploadfile);
$widthx=$width[0];
$heightx=$width[1];
if (($widthx > 102) or (heightx > 135)){
$image_too_big = " but the image size was too large and was not submitted.";
} else {
$photodata = fread($tempfile, filesize($uploadfile));
$photodata = addslashes($photodata);

Can you store an Image in MS SQL Server 2005
