I don't think it work for SQL Server 2000.
The SINGLE_BLOB setting was introduced for SQL Server 2005, if I am not mistaking.

# re: Insert binary data like images into SQL Server without front-end application

Great Post! --- I added a loop script to it for a bunch of images I needed to put into my db...

-----------------------------------
DECLARE @imgString varchar(80)
DECLARE @insertString varchar(3000)

SET @imgNumber = 1

WHILE @imgNumber &lt; 101

BEGIN

SET @imgString = 'E:\images\Picture' + CONVERT(varchar,@imgNumber) + '.jpg'

SET @insertString = N'INSERT INTO images(imageData)
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET(BULK N''' + @imgString + ''', SINGLE_BLOB) as tempImg'

EXEC(@insertString)

SET @imgNumber = @imgNumber + 1

END

GO
---------------------------------

Again, Thanks for the post

Best Regards

What is the easiest way in SQL Server 2000?

# re: Insert binary data like images into SQL Server without front-end application

It gives an error:"A correlation name must be specified for the bulk rowset in the from clause."

Add a table alias for the OPENROWSET function.

# re: Insert binary data like images into SQL Server without front-end application

Have you checked your compatibility level?
It must be set to 90 or higher.

# re: Insert binary data like images into SQL Server without front-end application

Thanks alot.

This works too:

UPDATE table
SET column =
(SELECT * FROM
OPENROWSET(BULK N'D:\Filename.aspx', SINGLE_BLOB) AS ORS)
WHERE ID = 2

# re: Insert binary data like images into SQL Server without front-end application

Hi,

I have a varbinary(max) column in my database table in which i am saving "test.docx" file (remember it;s a docx file, not doc). When i am performing a string search on this column then it is returning no result. The same search is running on "doc" files saved in binary format in database.

My search query is

Select * from <tablename>
where convert(varchar(max),<mybinarycolumn>) like '%<keywordtosearch>%';

is there a way i can perform a binary search on this table.

please reply asap.

6/8/2009 11:49 AM | vijay

# re: Insert binary data like images into SQL Server without front-end application

You will have to convert to search parameter value to varbinary too.
Or use the new FILESTREAM datatype.

# re: Insert binary data like images into SQL Server without front-end application

Im trying a simple script to insert into the table but get a really arb error. I have tried as an image but crystal reports wont read it. I have converted it to a Varbinary (255) and ge the following error.

INSERT INTO [Broker info].[dbo].[Broker Image]
([cpkBrokerRef]
,[Broker Number]
,[Broker image])
VALUES
(2322
,345235
,'C:\Documents and Settings\pmasters\My Documents\My Pictures\IAM\arsig.JPG')

Implicit conversion from data type varchar to varbinary is not allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query.

# re: Insert binary data like images into SQL Server without front-end application

You're trying to insert string datatype item into the image type field.
Guys, I have Access database, how to insert an usual textfile into the field of type "OLE Object"??

Hey, I have to upload a word document to test for a clase, I know we need to make it a binary file and then upload, but honestly, we keep searching and just don't get it... I think the answers here are more or less what we want to do, but if you could guide us a little it'd be great

# re: Insert binary data like images into SQL Server without front-end application

GREAT

How do you get the image back out to the file system?

Or do we just let the front end grab it?

11/18/2009 7:25 PM | Brett

# re: Insert binary data like images into SQL Server without front-end application

You can use BCP. Or the front-end, as you suggest.

Hi Guys, for any of you struggling to update a single row:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

declare @image varchar(max)

set @image = (SELECT BulkColumn from Openrowset( Bulk 'C:\CBR600RR9.jpg', Single_Blob) as BikeImage)
UPDATE Models
SET ModelImage = @image where ModelName = 'CBR600RR9'
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

1/5/2010 10:55 AM | Haxsta

# re: Insert binary data like images into SQL Server without front-end application

Shouldn't @image variable be declared as VARBINARY(MAX) instead?

1/5/2010 10:58 AM | Peso

# re: Insert binary data like images into SQL Server without front-end application

Perhaps, but in my case it worked out fine. I'll keep that in mind though.. Thanks..

# re: Insert binary data like images into SQL Server without front-end application

2/1/2010 2:01 PM | Sunita

# re: Insert binary data like images into SQL Server without front-end application

A correlation name must be specified for the bulk rowset in the from clause.
Add the correlation name like dis

CREATE TABLE myTable(Document varbinary(max)) INSERT INTO myTable(Document) SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET(BULK N'C:\Image1.jpg', SINGLE_BLOB) as look

in the above query (look) is the correlation name u can use any name

2/8/2010 11:07 AM | Rakesh

# re: Insert binary data like images into SQL Server without front-end application

@ Sunita

Omit the semicolon preceding SELECT, since INSERT and SELECT are parts of 1 statement.

The path to the file is relative to the SQL Server you are executing the code, not your local machine.

Hi Diwakar,
