I would like to visualize the pictures that comes from SQL server data source in Grafana. The pictures are stored in varbinary(max) data type. I tried the SQL query below but Grafana is not able to visualize/render it. Is there a way to do that?
SELECT CAST(c_img AS IMAGE)
FROM tbl_test WHERE c_id = 8
Thanks for any help.

I am looking at vendor page, and see contradicting information (top of each page with green or gray checkboxes) wheter XML column data type is supported in Azure SQL Server or not.
Could anybody with access to Azure SQL Server databases may tell me if XML is fully supported or not?

Just executed following script in Azure database, works fine:
create table x(t xml)
insert into x(t) values('<zz>aaaabbbb</zz>');
select t.value('/zz[1]','varchar(100)') from x;
Azure SQL database supports XML Data Type,xml (Transact-SQL) , but not supports XML data.
The documents which involve xml data all show don't support Azure SQL database.
I think XML is not fully supported in Azrue SQL Database.
But we can create XML data type column in Azure SQL database, and do what Piotr showed for you. Not all functions are supported in Azure.
Here is blog I think you can reference: How to load local XML File to Azure SQL Database?
There is a xml file and needs to be load into a table in an Azure SQL Database. The table has a column as xml type.
And it also gives you the answer maybe can give you some ideas about save XML fragments into fields.
Hope this helps.
I just want to know the possible ways to convert like 2 or 3 images into a varbinary and save it in a single column named images in SQL Server. And retrieve it like the way to retrieve a single image.
If you simply need to store file data in the database, and the files are accessible to the SQL Server, then you can get SQL Server to do the heavy lifting using OPENROWSET:
SELECT o.BulkColumn
FROM OPENROWSET(BULK N'C:\Myfilepath.jpg', SINGLE_BLOB) o
SQL Server will return a single-column, single-row dataset that will contain the binary data for your file.
You can use the above statement stand-alone, in a stored procedure or as part of an INSERT statement.
I am using sql server 2012, In one of the table's column I have varbinary(max) values. This column is used to hold binary values of an Image
, where all the images are resides of my application. Now I want to opent that image in sql server itself, similary
when we write select empid from employee it is displaying empid, so is there any similary way to preview image in sql server?
also any way to doc/docx files to preview in sql server?
SQL Server does not have any way of displaying data in VARBINARY columns as images. You need a different tool for this that extracts the VARBINARY data and interprets it in the correct image format.
There is a SSMS add-in called SSMSBoost that has the feature SSMS Results Grid Visualizers.
You can get fully-functional free community license or buy the professional version. Currently both versions have the same set of features.
I've got a database table that stores images as varbinary(max). This works great for me. However, I have to now send this data to a MS Dynamics database that will have to use the Image data type.
Is there anything I need to be aware of when saving varbinary(max) to image? Can my data become corrupted, or are they generally the same datatype for all intents and purposes?
Thanks
They are the same thing and handled the same internaly. They droped the image name because it dosn't really make sense. Its not like sqlserver can do image operations in tsql
I have an old SQL Server 2000 database that I want to get into XML so I can from there import parts of it into an SQLite database for a PHP website.
I've accessed the SQL Server 2000 database via SQL Server Management Studio 2008 Express, I can open all the tables, view the data, etc.
I was expecting to be able to e.g. right-click on "Tables" and select "Export all tables to XML" but cannot find any export feature like this.
What is the easiest way to export this SQL Server database to XML files, I don't even need the schema (int, varchar, etc.), just the data.
SELECT * FROM {tablename} FOR XML AUTO
is working fine in this particular case, thanks ogiboho via twitter
You could write a .NET app that retrieves the tables to a dataset and then get the XML from the dataset...

Alternatively you could look at this forum post, it has lots of different ways to approach achieving this...
