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 currently have a Navision Dynamics installation on SQL Server 2016.
I have a requirement to display pictues from Navision Dynamics CRM on a stand alone installation of SQL server reporting services (SSRS).
This means, I do not have any of the CRM functionality available for me to use.
The Data Sets for the report is standard SQL queries.
My test query and result :
The field Content from my above query is what I want to display as the image on the report.
If I look at the SQL datatype for the Content column, it says it is an Image (data type).
However, in dynamics, it is a data type of BLOB
I have tried to do this in the report and I just get a Red Cross (X):
I have also tried the following for this field and still get the red X :
=System.Convert.ToBase64String(Fields!Content.Value)
How do I go about displaying the Content field as an Image in the report please?
See answer in this post below :
Microsoft dynamics Mediaset Datatype and SSRS
The questions is same / similar to this one.
The answer is - Change the image compression on the BLOB field to OFF and then everything else should work like in the question.
I have an Access 2016 form where data entry users copy and paste pictures into a Bound Object Frame that is linked to a SQL Server 2016 varbinary(max). Pictures are copied from Snip and Sketch. When using Access, all is wonderful. Pictures can be seen, can be put in a report, and replaced, if needed.
The problem comes in when using SQL Server Reporting Services 2016. I have tried to get these pictures out, but I don't know if they're jpg, dib, bmp, tiff, or any other format, so my question is:
What format are pictures sent to SQL Server from Access?
The copy/paste option is great for data entry, but the need to have a web based (SSRS) delivery to the customer (manufacturing floor) is paramount, so if there's a better way to store these pictures in a controlled format so I can retrieve them in SSRS, that is a solution as well.
Is there any way to put image into MS SQL database on c? The table field type is "Image", i have HBITMAP in my program, how can i put it into database?
I use SQLExecDirect() function to insert text into VARCHAR fields, but i also need to work with "Image" field. Is that even possible?
This should be possible using ODBC.
If you take a look at this article: Using ODBC with Microsoft SQL Server
and scroll down to the very bottom, there is a sample app code ("Putimage.c"), using SQLExecDirect() function.
I want to develop my own Custom Reports in Sql Server. I would want to know the underlying report logic (tables used, joins etc) of the existing Standard reports in SSMS to get an idea. Is it possible to locate the source code (.rdl) of these Standard Reports and get the underlying logic which could be used in my Custom Reports ?
I am using Sql Server 2012
Thanks
SSRS can't use .rdl as data source to retrieve data. For your requirement, you should query the system table to retrieve data into a dataset.
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...
