Saving a file('s) to a database

Hi, I want to be able to store a file to a database regaurdless of its file type. It could be a doc, txt, pdf or a custom file format.. as long as the computer can read the file format... how can I do this?
btw.. I am using VS 2013, SQL 2008 R2 and was trying the memory stream to save and read the files.

A file has to be handled likewise an image. 
Look at this sample on our website.

  • Saving image file as binary into database + pulling it out + displaying

    Hi guys, this is exactly I have to do, and have no ideal how to do.
    It will be greatly appreciated if you can offer help on this.
    I don't have a problem putting it into and pulling it out fo the database, it is really the jpg-> binary, and binary->display part that I need help on.
    Btw, I am currently using "draw Flatten PixMap.VI" to display a picture in labview, from a jpg file. Can I still use this VI to achieve what I intend to do?

    Have you tried this:

  • What is the best method for saving the client sequence file revision in the database \ report?

    I'm trying to figure out the best way to store the sequence file Revision in the database. That is, if I have the Revision (SequenceFile.AsPropertyObjectFile.Version), where (e.g. what table / field) should I put it if I'm using the SQL Server schema that ships with TestStand?  How do I get it there?

    Ok LabBEAN,
    Here is my tutorial.  It is actually easier than I thought:
    Step 1: Configure>>Database Options and uncheck the Disable Database Logging.
    Step 2: Click the Data Link tab
    Step 3: Make sure the Connection String Expression is pointing to the right location.  Should be a public directory with a .mdb file if you are using TestStand defaults.  Click the View Data button to verify.  It should open the Database Viewer so you can look at the tables.  Leave the Database Viewer open.
    Step 4: Click the Schemas tab
    Step 5: With the Generic Recordset (NI) selected click the Duplicate button.
    Step 6: You should now see a copy of that schema.  In the Name box name it MyRecordset and make sure it is checked
    Step 7: Click the Statements tab and highlight STEP_SEQCALL.  NOTE: you must always do this before clicking on the Columns/Parameters tab
    Step 8: Click the Columns/Parameters tab
    Step 9: Highlight the SEQUENCE_FILE_PATH item and click the Copy Button
    Step 10:  Highlight the new entry and change the Name to SEQUENCE_FILE_VERSION
    Step 11: MOST CRITICAL STEP: Change the Expression to RunState.Engine.GetSequenceFileEx(Logging.StepResu​lt.TS.SequenceCall.SequenceFile, 107, ConflictHandler_Error).AsPropertyObjectFile.Versio​n  It is better to do it this way because you never now where a sequence file call will be made and not all sequence calls are made to the model client sequence.
    Step 12: Hopefully you left the Database Viewer open from Step 3. Go to it.
    Step 13: Right click the STEP_SEQCALL and select Add Column..  Name the new column: SEQUENCE_FILE_VERSION.  Basically you need a column that matches the one you created back in the Columns/Parameters tab.  Set it up with the same type and size.  NOTE: there is an alternate way to do this using the Execute SQL View in the Database Options but you need to create it.  You can create it from the Schemas tab back in TS by clicking the Build .sql File.. button.
    Step 14: Back in TestStand click OK to save and close the Database Options.
    Now run your sequence and you will see the new data in your database.

  • The difference using file text and using database ...

    whatz 'p dude !!!
    yo men i have a little quest bout using file text and
    usig database .
    the quest is :
    if u a programer tell me, if u use file text why u use that ?
    whats the advantages using file text for saving record ?
    and if u use database like jdbc,sql,orcle for making java
    what the advantages using them ?
    can u give me some hope plizzzz

    if u a programer tell me, if u use file text
    why u use that ?Text files are good for storing things like configuration data. For this, you are best served using java.util.Properties to store data in any easily accessible format. That's the problem with text files, you have to invent a format and a way to read/write that format every time you use a text file for a database. Sure you could use a standard format like CSV, but you run into big problems when your database exceeds several megabytes in size. Doing something a simple as reading a single field from a file usually involves reading the entire file. That can kill performance if you have to do it repeatedly and often.
    and if u use database like jdbc,sql,orcle for
    making java what the advantages using them ?Java was made with C, not with JDBC, SQL, or Oracle. SQL is a language for reading and writing data from a database. JDBC is a Java interface to interact with databases. And Oracle itself is a relational database.
    The advantages of using a database are ease of use, performance, and reliability. All you need to know is JDBC and SQL to read/write data from a database (though SQL varies slightly with every different database). Databases use indexes to allow them to quickly find rows and fiels in a database without having to read the entire database. Most of them cache data in memory to speed things up too.
    That's it. If you want to know more, search Google or buy a book or two :)
    can u give me some hope plizzzzI'm hopeful you will realize that you make yourself look like an idiot typing like that.

    Hi There,
    The subject header just about says it all. This is the first action I took with MAX - it is a fresh install. The file I wanted to save was still written and the FP seems to be working ok. However, I need to know what happened.

    Hi,
    I did a research on your error message and it seems this problem was introduced with MAX 4.6. This version switched to a new error reporting mechanism and reports even errors that are which are not critical to your task.
    These errors typically show up as "unexpected" and if your error falls into this category have a look to this KB for further assistance.
    If it doesn't fall into this category, your could try to go back to the MAX 4.5 or 4.4.. Of course you would need to reinstall some components and might not be able to use newer drivers at all.
    Let me know.

  • How to set jpeg resolution when saving pdf file as jpeg

    Hi
    I am running a stand-alone version of Framemaket 10.I try to convert a documentation with a lot of screenshots in it. Regardless of the settings on the Reference pages of the first document of the book, Framemaker converts all graphic files to *.gif, and these are downsized so much that they become illegible. I would like to have them converted to JPG, with little resolution loss, so they are still readable.
    I think Robohelp is too expensive…

  • Photoshop CS6 program error saving layered files

    I recently updated my adobe software and I am still getting issues with saving layered files. I keep gettting program error - only occasionally. Sometimes saving to my desktop works and other times it doesnt. Other coworkers are experiencing same thing ever since they updated. It happens when working on a layered file for any length of time and need to save it out as a layered photoshop file. We are forced to flatten and save as a tif and loose our layers. I think it has something to do with background task but not sure...

    Drag the file to your desktop, open the file there, do your edits, save, and then drag back.
    Let us know what you are working off. If server, what server software are you using. System preferences >> spotlight, uncheck all items.

  • On my new Imac, I had the trial version of Pages, and saved some files in it. Now I have purchased the full version from Apple via a download, but I cannot save or print the old files, please help!

    On my new Imac I saved some files on the free trial version of Pages, since downloading the full version from Apple, have been unable to save or print from old files saved when using the trial version. Any ideas? Thank you!

    My guess is the 30-day trial period has expired but you didn't remove the trial before installing the full version. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
    Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his iDisk in For_iWork > iWork '09 > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

  • Problem saving gif file over the net

    I am using a simple loop to save files using a URL Connection. It grabs html files fine and they look right but when I used to to download an animated gif it had an error. It saved the file but when I tried to open the image I got a "drawing failed" message.
    I compared it to the working image and the sizes were identical. I also compared the characters in notepad and the beginning and end characters were identical. I looked at the preview in "My Computer" when you select it and it drew only the first line or so. This makes me believe it is a problem with how it switches lines when saving. I checked the ends of the lines though and they also seem identicall. Any ideas? Here is the code. Thankyou.
    FileWriter fileName = new FileWriter(saveFileName);
    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
    new InputStreamReader(
    newConnection.getInputStream()
    BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(fileName);
    for (;;) {
    int data = in.read();
    // Check for EOF
    if (data == -1) break;
    else {
    System.out.print ( (char) data);
    out.write(data);
    }

    GIF files are binary files and can be corrupted if you use the Reader and Writer classes. Use the *Stream classes, like FileInputStream and FileOutputStream.

    The last few days I have been constantly saving my file. A couple of hours ago I renamed the file and then reopened my file a little while later, but the most recent work wasn't saved even though I'm sure I saved it before closing. What can I do? Also, when I have tried to email it to myself as a backup, the fields aren't populated when I open it up. Fyi, I have the free subscription.

  • When saving a File OS Is Creating Multiple Folders With The Same File Name

    Not sure what I changed but, now when I save a any file (ppt. word, Keynote,Pages e.g.,) to the desktop or any other location the OS will also create multiple file folders with the same file name as the file I'm saving. Inside the folders are what appears to be files locating the saved files. What can I do to fix this problem?
    I'm using the 10.7.2 version

    It looks like a finder bug. To replicate, I surf to any website, I right-click on a jpg image, select "Save Image As" and in the window that pops up I type in the filename "000.jpg", I select the folder Pictures, and click on Save.
    BTW, I don't know why, but the file was saved only as "000" without the file extension ".jpg". Does anybody know why?
    the extension is simply hidden. go to the get info panel for the file and uncheck the option to hide the extension.
    Then I surf to another image, and again I save it as "000.jpg" and now it asks me if I want to replace the existing filename, although the existing one is "000" and I try to save as "000.jpg", so I say yes, and then magically the file is saved with the full filename including the extension "000.jpg"
    When I did it a couple of times, always saving image as "000.jpg" from various sources, I ended up with two distinct files named "000" and both in the same folder Pictures.
    Please advise.
    it sounds to me like you saved one file as 000.jpg and the other and 000.jpg.jpg.
    check the info panels for the files for full names to verify if this is the case.

    Please tell me how to import the data in a .xls or .xlsx file into a oracle database table in Oracle 10gR2 using Oracle Warehouse Builder 10gR2.

    ....can we do something through Non-Oracle->ODBC?Yes, it is possible, look at this thread
    [SQLServer access from AIX Warehouse builder|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=2502982]
    If your server (with target DB and OWB runtime) is on Windows OS this configuration will be simpler - you can use single server.

  • How do I prevent AE from saving .AEP files in the wrong folders?

    I've been using AE heavily for about 6 months, and it has this really pesky basic Windows UI problem that makes life quite frustrating. I work on lots of projects that I maintain sequentially numbered in their respective folders. Typically in Windows when you choose "Save As" windows defaults to the folder the current file resides in.  For some reason After Effects defaults to the last folder I saved a file in, which often times is not the folder I am in. So I end up with project files from projectA stored in the projectB folder.  This leads to version control problems when members of the team can't find the most recent version of projectA and so they start working on the previous version of ProjectA and later on ask me where all my changes are.  I want to believe that AE has a checkbox in preferences somewhere that says "make save-as feature operate like every other windows program" - but I haven't found it yet.  Does anyone have any advice on this topic?

    I want to believe that AE has a checkbox in preferences somewhere that says "make save-as feature operate like every other windows program" - but I haven't found it yet.  Does anyone have any advice on this topic?
    I think you are operating on wrong assumptions - a project is just a reference to other files plus some internal data, so it doesn't exactly make sense to maintain endless lists of absolute paths, given that you can import things back and forth in a million ways. What happens as soon as you import a project into another one? What, when you collect files? What happens when you re-import pre-rendered files? A "same origin" policy would be riddled with tons of issues to figure out the logic as to what the user actually wants to do and which path is the correct one.... I've never missed any such feature.
