Insert multiple image files

  • I am quite new to SQL Server and am in need of some help!!

    I have a SQL2k database with a table that I want to insert

    images into :-

    photos table

    ------------

    parcel (int)

    photo (image)

    I also have photos (jpgs) for each parcel with the same

    name as the parcel (ie file 34567.jpg will be for

    parcel 34567).

    Can someone help with inserting the JPEG files into the

    photos table using the parcel as the filename? I would like

    to do it all at once and not do each one separately.

    Basically I want to insert the contents of each JPG file into

    the photos field where the filename=parcel(with .jpg on the end).

    Hope someone can help.

    Thanks

  • Try BII.exe. It's installed under SQL Server\....\DevTools\Samples\Utils.

  • You could use Textcopy? I created a stored proc a while ago that called textcopy thru xp_cmdshell. Then I write a VB app that matched the image file names with a name in the database table and cycled thru the contents of a directory kicking on textcopy along the way thru an ADO connection.

    Worked well, although was semi slow.
