Hi all,
I am trying to use System.Data.ODB C to insert a file into a binary field in
SQL Server 2000. Now, before you yell at me, the reason I am doing this is
that I am only writing intitial code against SQL, but this app will need to
be able to run against any ODBC compliant DB, so I am also not using stored
procedures.
I have tangles with this for hours, but I cannot seem to figure out how to
just read the contents of a file off disk and write it into a binary field in
SQL not using a stored procedure. If I can get that working, I can do
whatever I need, but I can't so far.
Does anyone have a sample of this or an article? There are many articles for
doing this with SPROCS, doing this with SqlClient, not ODBC. I tried just
modifying the objects from an SqlClient example, but no avail.
Appreciate any help on this...

Unfortunately this simply isn't going to be possible. The reason is that most databases use a
proprietary implementation that in all likelihood would not be uniformly supported via ODBC (which
is rather dated technology to begin with).

Paul,
Thanks for the response, but it's very interesting, you are not the first
person to respond to my question with that answer, but I got it working a few
days ago, inserting a blob into the database using the odbc provider and no
stored procedures, and it's worked on SQL, PostGreSQL, and MySQL so far with
the same code, so I think it is possible.
Thanks anyway...

Well you said *any* so I was assuming that was more than a few. ;-)
There will be some databases that support the same code but others will not, or they will require a
different data type than binary. I believe that both Oracle, Sybase or Microsoft Access would all
require different solutions.

Hi,
Is it possible to insert BLOB data without doing a select first? I have
data available and want to insert a row with BLOB data.
Should I use the callback function with OCILobWrite() or is it not
possible at all without doing a select?
How about using a temporary LOB? I have tried everything I could come up
with but nothing seems to work.

Hi,
I am trying to do bulk insert of binary data (array of bytes) in an
Oracle table. The data type of the table is BLOB. I am using Oracle
Objects for OLE (OO4O) in C++.
The binary data that I have to insert is in the form of byte array.
My problem is that the bulk inserts happen only as long as the length
of array is less than 4K. Any data more than 4K gets truncated.
Is it possible to do bulk inserts in a BLOB field with data more...

I'm very new on this group. I don't know if this is a old point

My question is: What is the best way to access Blob rows using

1) Using ODBC and using SELECT I can use SQLGetData to receive many
