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

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 new to SQL, but am trying to learn its logic, I am assuming bulk insert will insert on all rows in this case a blob. (pdf file) below is my code but what I am trying to accomplish is, inserting a pdf file that I have put on SQL server in a row that has a matching Primary Key that I specify. So far I am missing the where clause to specify the PK
Declare #sql varchar(max)
Declare #filePath varchar(max)
Set #filePath = 'C:\iphone.pdf'
Set #sql='INSERT INTO HDData.dbo.PurchasedCellPhoneInfo(Receipt) SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET(BULK '''+ #filePath+''', SINGLE_BLOB) AS BLOB'
exec(#sql)
May I use an update t-SQL query instead of insert? and how would I drop the where to specify a specific row I want to insert this blob in?
Any help would be appreciated.
I also have tried this, following #misterPositive's suggestion for update query:
Declare #criteria varchar(50)
SET #criteria ='352014075399147'
UPDATE HDData.dbo.PurchasedCellPhoneInfo SET Receipt =
(SELECT Receipt FROM OPENROWSET (BULK 'C:\352014075399147.pdf, SINGLE_BLOB') a)
WHERE(IMEI = #criteria)
i do recieve this message:
Either a format file or one of the three options SINGLE_BLOB, SINGLE_CLOB, or SINGLE_NCLOB must be specified. i like this update query as it seems to fit what im trying to do.
You can do this to UPDATE:
UPDATE MyTable
SET blobField =
(SELECT BulkColumn FROM OPENROWSET (BULK 'C:\Test\Test1.pdf', SINGLE_BLOB) a)
WHERE (CriteriaField = #criteria)
Here is another way for PK
CREATE VIEW [dbo].[VWWorkDataLoad]
AS
SELECT RecordLine
FROM [dbo].[WorkDataLoad];
Now BULK INSERT should then look like:
BULK INSERT [dbo].[VWWorkDataLoad] FROM 'D:\NPfiles\TS082114.trn'
WITH (FIRSTROW = 2,FIELDTERMINATOR = ',' , ROWTERMINATOR = '\n');
If you want to insert new records then you could have an identity column for your PK and not have to worry about it. I have also seen functions used when a table is designed without identity on PK. Something like GetTableNamePK() in the select list.
If you want to update an existing record then you will want a where clause as you mentioned. This worked for me in testing:
Update TestBlob Set BinaryData = (SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET(BULK 'c:\temp\test.pdf', SINGLE_BLOB) AS BLOB)
Where ID = 2
If you do not want to use the Identity or Function this worked where ID is a primary key and I want to insert the BLOB with PK of 3:
INSERT INTO TestBlob2 (ID, BinaryData) SELECT 3, * FROM OPENROWSET(BULK 'c:\temp\test.pdf', SINGLE_BLOB) AS BLOB
Does the command FOR XML in MS SQL Server save the file in disk?
I'm creating a trigger to log operations in a table and part of this trigger is create a XML with the affected row. I'm thinking of using the FOR XML to generate the XML.
SELECT *
FROM TBL_Test
WHERE ID=3040
FOR XML RAW
My worry is that I will be using it in a trigger and I don´t want to save files in the server every time I call the FOR XML function.
In addition: would you guys know how to parse it to varchar?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Like any SELECT query, a query with the FOR XML clause will return the result to the client and not save the result to disk.
You can use a scalar subquery to assign the result XML to a varchar variable instead of returning to the client:
DECLARE #xml varchar(MAX) =
(
SELECT *
FROM dbo.TBL_Test
WHERE ID=3040
FOR XML RAW
);
I need to perform a dataload every day from a csv available online e.g. http://www.supplier.com/products.csv
Once I've dumped the csv into a sql table I can do the processing I then need to update / insert etc. The problem is that I don't know how to automate the dataload.
I was hoping I could use a SQL job / task, scheduled to run each day at 06:00, give it a uri and that it could then access the data in the csv...
How can I do that?
You can schedule a SQL Agent job to download the file locally and use BULK INSERT:
CREATE TABLE StagingCSV
(
col1 VARCHAR(60),
col2 VARCHAR(60),
col3 VARCHAR(60),
col4 VARCHAR(60),
-- ...
)
GO
(error rows will be ignored)
BULK
INSERT StagingCSV
FROM 'c:\mycsvfile.txt'
WITH
(
FIELDTERMINATOR = ',',
ROWTERMINATOR = '\n'
)
GO
Other methods:
About Bulk Import and Bulk Export Operations
Importing Bulk Data by Using BULK INSERT or OPENROWSET
You can use Powershell to download a file:
$clnt = new-object System.Net.WebClient
$url = "http://www.supplier.com/products.csv "
$file = "c:\temp\Mycsv.txt"
$clnt.DownloadFile($url, $file)
Another simple (although not free, but still rather cheap) solution is to use the SQL# library which would allow you to do this in just a few lines of T-SQL. This would make it really easy to automate via a SQL Agent Job.
You could emulate the Powershell method (suggested by Mitch) with a single command to grab the CSV file and then read it into the table with another command:
DECLARE #Dummy VARBINARY(1)
SELECT #Dummy = SQL#.INET_DownloadFile('http://www.location.tld/file.csv',
'C:\file.csv')
INSERT INTO dbo.RealTable (Column1, Column2, ...)
EXEC SQL#.File_SplitIntoFields 'C:\file.csv', ',', 0, NULL, NULL
OR, you could bypass going to the file system by reading the CSV file straight into a local variable, splitting that on the carriage-returns into a Temp Table, and then split that into your table:
CREATE TABLE #CSVRows (CSV VARCHAR(MAX))
DECLARE #Contents VARBINARY(MAX)
SELECT #Contents = SQL#.INET_DownloadFile('http://www.location.tld/file.csv',
NULL)
INSERT INTO #CSVRows (CSV)
SELECT SplitVal
FROM SQL#.String_Split(CONVERT(VARCHAR(MAX), #Contents),
CHAR(13) + CHAR(10), 1)
INSERT INTO dbo.RealTable (Column1, Column2, ...)
EXEC SQL#.String_SplitIntoFields 'SELECT CSV FROM #CSVRows', ',', NULL
You can find SQL# at: http://www.SQLsharp.com/
I am the author of the SQL# library, but this seems like a valid solution to the question.
I have not seen an example where you can bulk insert directly from a url.
So, for the remainder, use a sql job and bulk insert.
Bulk inserts made easy: http://www.mssqltips.com/tip.asp?tip=1207
Here's a quick excerpt:
BULK INSERT dbo.ImportTest FROM
'C:\ImportData.txt' WITH (
FIELDTERMINATOR =',', FIRSTROW = 2 )
You can also perform the file download by using an Integration Services Task:
