filestream

I have tried the FILESTREAM feature for MSSQL (2008R2 Data Center) on a local database, to experiment. The real database is running on a server. I have setup the whole FILESTREAM, using this query: /* CREATE FILESTREAM AND FILESTREAM TABLE */ USE [master] GO ALTER DATABASE SenONew ADD FILEGROUP [FileStream] CONTAINS FILESTREAM GO ALTER DATABASE SenONew ADD FILE ( NAME = 'fsSenONew', FILENAME = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\DATA\SenONew.ndf' ) TO FILEGROUP [FileStream] GO USE [SenONew] GO CREATE TABLE Filestore( FileID int PRIMARY KEY, RowID uniqueidentifier

I'm writing code that deals with a file that uses hashes. I need to read a chunk, then hash it, then write it, then read another chunk, etc. In other words, I need to do a lot of reading and writing. I'm sure this is really simple, but I just wanted to run it by the pros... Is it possible, and acceptable to do something like: BinaryReader br = new BinaryReader (File.OpenRead(path)); BinaryWriter bw = new BinaryWriter (File.OpenWrite(path)); br.dostuff(); bw.dostuff(); I remember running into some sort of conflicting file streams error when experimenting with opening and writing to files, and I

I am trying to put together db design for storing images. Many of you might have had experience designing db to store images and the challenges associated with it. The db might store hundreds of thousands of images eventually. I am planning to use SQL Server 2008 db and entity framework. Planning to use FILESTREAM datatype for storing images. Following is the list of attributes i have considered storing for every image in db. Image Name, Image Type, Image Width, Image Height, Image Horizontal Resolution, Image Vertical Resolution, Image bit depth and finally actual image data. Things i am

I've got how to copy one file to another from start, but how could i modify the programme to copy it in reverse order? Source file should have read access and destination file read write execute. I have to use file control libraries. for example FILE A File B should be |---------| |----------| |ABCDEF | |FEDCBA | |---------| |----------| ** * ** * ** * ** * ** * ** * ** * UPDATE * ** * ** * ** * Thank you, MikeNakis for hints and suggestions ,Sangeeth for your code I've reworked the code and now it is copy bytes in reverse order printing filesize here is the code #include<stdlib.h> #include

I am loading an image using OpenFileDialog open = new OpenFileDialog(); After I select the file, "open" is populated with several items, including the path. Now I would like to load the file into a filestream (or something similar) to be sent via a webservice... is this possible? thanks You can open the file with FileStream : FileStream file = new FileStream("path to file", FileMode.Open); You can then pass this through to the web service http context Response.OutputStream property. You will still need to set the correct mime type and various headers, but this works well: HttpContext.Current

I have successfully set up FILESTREAM on my SQL 2008 server; however I've noticed that even when I have deleted rows containing FILESTREAM data, the physical data file doesn't seem to get deleted. By the physical file, I mean the file in SQLServer's managed directory with a uniqueidentifer as the filename not the original file added to the dbase. Does anyone know if SQLServer will delete the file eventually? If there are a lot of large files removed from the dbase I'd expect to be able to reclaim the space quickly that's all. FILESTREAM data is subject to transaction control and therefore is
