How can we load a .png image into a SQL Server table?
I tried this but it didn't work:
INSERT INTO tableName(state, image)
VALUES ('Ready',
(SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET (BULK 'imagePath'), SINGLE_BLOB) As image));
Here is an example to save Image file in a SQL Server table, first of all we need to have a column that can handle Image files.
VARBINARY is data type that we can use to store Images or any other type of files.
Let's create the table with Varbinary Datatype and then import the image by using below script.
CREATE TABLE dbo.TableName
(ID INT Identity(1, 1)
,NAME VARCHAR(100)
,Image VARBINARY(MAX))
GO
--Import Image to SQL Server
INSERT INTO dbo.TableName
(NAME
,Image
)
SELECT 'Capture1.PNG'
,BulkColumn
FROM Openrowset(BULK 'C:\MyImage.PNG', Single_Blob) AS Image
The image path must be accessible by the SQL server. The SQL server can access files within its server folder. Locate the server folder. The folder name starts with MSSQLXX.MyDatabaseServer. If you had not changed the default installation path, you should be able to find it in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server" Place your image file in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQLXX.MyDatabaseServer\MSSQL".
Specify the image path in sql like this ->
FROM Openrowset(BULK 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQLXX.MyDatabaseServer\MSSQL\MyImage.PNG', Single_Blob) AS Image
If you still encounter error message "file does not exist or you do not have the rights to access the file", try placing your image file in the DATA folder where your primary Data File is stored.
CREATE TABLE dbo.ImageStore
(ID INT Identity(1, 1)
,[NAME] VARCHAR(100)
,[Image] VARBINARY(MAX))
GO
--Insert image to SQL server table using bulk import.
INSERT INTO dbo.ImageStore
([NAME]
,[Image]
)
SELECT 'Error_image_1.PNG'
,BulkColumn
FROM Openrowset(BULK 'C:\Issue_dataload_two Graphs.PNG', Single_Blob) AS Image
select * from [dbo].[ImageStore]
This will store the image in binary format in your database. This works for me.
You can also paste the image data in as a hex string. This is useful if you don't have access to a file system on the SQL server.
Open the binary image file (e.g. jpeg) in a hex editor such as HxD and view the file as Hexadecimal. Copy the hex and paste into a query like this - you'll have to do a "find / replace" to remove some whitepace.
drop table if exists #img
create table #img
( icon varbinary(max))
insert into #img(icon)
select
icon=convert(varbinary(max),'0x'+

I'm trying to insert data in next table:
Table Of Data
I'm using Management Studio, but i don't know how to relate the file inserted with the column which has the ID number (in my case is named 'Batch'). All examples that I've found are like this without that column :
CREATE TABLE nameTable(fileReport varbinary(max))
INSERT INTO nameTable (fileReport) SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET(BULK 'c:\File1.pdf', SINGLE_BLOB) AS BLOB
Ok, if I understand your question correctly the answer would be something like this:
INSERT INTO nametable
(batch,
filereport)
VALUES ('batch_number1',
(SELECT *
FROM OPENROWSET(BULK 'c:\File1.pdf', single_blob) AS fileReport)
)
I think your issue is that you're not doing the VALUES clause on your INSERT statement
By the way, credit where it's due; I got that answer from this web page
I am importing XML files into a SQL table as SINGLE_BLOBS:
INSERT INTO #XMLSource(XmlData)
SELECT *
FROM OPENROWSET (BULK C:\TEXT.XML, SINGLE_BLOB) AS ImportSource
does anyone know of a way to compare either the XML files prior to import or the SINGLE_BLOBS after import? I just need to see if the file has been changed.
I'm trying to store/pull some images on a temporary table on SQL Server 2012.
For example, a user drops/creates a QR code for an invoice on
C:\InvoiceImg
The image is called
QR_312784.jpeg
I would like to "pull" or store this image in SQL Server 2012 and then reference it with an invoice number so I can use it on a custom report with SSRS.
Is this possible?
CREATE TABLE #temp(id INT identity,img IMAGE)
DECLARE #pic VARBINARY(MAX)
SET #pic=(SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET(BULK 'C:\InvoiceImg\QR_312784.jpeg ', SINGLE_BLOB) AS pic)
INSERT INTO #temp(img) VALUES(#pic)
SELECT * FROM #temp
Hi I tried to update an image in a varbinary column with the following example How to insert a blob into a database using sql server management studio

Hello I need simple script help.
How do I read file (imagefile on filesystem) from file and save it to database binary field (SQL2008 table)?
You 'd better publish your code next time. It's a INSERT INTO and SELECT statement, and we use a special form of the OPENROWSET function to get the image into your table field
'create table first
create table #Images (doclen bigint, doc varbinary(max))
'insert a file
insert into #Images
select len(bulkcolumn), *
from
openrowset(bulk 'C:\images\image1.jpg', SINGLE_BLOB) as r
