odbc

I have a varbinary(MAX) field in a SQL Server 2005 database. I'm trying to figure out how to insert binary data (ie. an image) into that field using PHP. I'm using ODBC for the connection to the SQL Server database. I have seen a number of examples that explain this for use with a MySql database but I have not been able to get it to work with SQL Server. Thanks. The simple answer is: stop what you're doing. You don't want to store binary files inside a database unless you have some very specific security issues. Instead you want to store their filenames (possibly rename the files to prevent

I am trying to pass a table name in pyodbc as a parameter to access data from ms sql 2005. I've tried to substitute it with ? but it never works. I would be glad to receive any advice on how to accomplish this. Since you are using pyodbc, I assume you are not calling a SPROC. I recommend building your SQL string in python and then passing it to SQL to execute. import pyodbc dbconn = pyodbc.connect(ConnectionString) c = dbconn.cursor() j = 'table1' #where table1 is entered, retreived, etc query = "Select * from %s" % j c.execute(query) result = c.fetchall() print 'Done' You can't have variable

I'm having a problem opening a DBF file - I need to open it, read everything and process it. I tried several solutions (ODBC/OLEDB), several connection string, but nothing worked so far. The problem is, when I execute the SQL command to get everything from the file, nothing gets returned - no rows. What's even more odd, the content of the DBF file being opened get deleted. See the code I have: public override bool OpenFile(string fileName, string subFileName = "") { OleDbConnection con = new OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + Path.GetDirectoryName(fileName) + "

I have a project that would be perfect for Node.js, but it has to connect to a ODBC database and it has to run on windows. I see ODBC modules for nodejs on linux, but not windows. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this? cmroanirgo If you're like me and arrived here from Google, because you have old (ie ancient) systems, I came across Is it possible to marry WSH (wscript) with nodejs and was alerted to the npm module "win32ole": https://www.npmjs.com/package/win32ole . While not just an ODBC solution, "win32ole" does give you the ability to do quite a lot on a windblows box, just

I am having a little bit of trouble trying to write to a .mdb database from php. The database has a table called comments and it has 3 columns "id", "comment" and "by". The code I have is this. <?php $count =0; $db_path = "newsBlog.mdb"; $odbc_con = new COM("ADODB.Connection"); $constr = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=" . $db_path . ";"; $odbc_con -> open($constr); $sql = "INSERT INTO [comments] VALUES (".$_POST['newsId'].",'".$_POST['comment']."', '".$_POST['by']."')"; echo $sql; $odbc_con -> execute (sql); $rs = null; $conn = null; echo "done"; ?> It takes 3 values from a

I have pyODBC installed for Python 3.2 and I am attempting to update a SQL Server 2008 R2 database that I created as a test. I have no problem retrieving data and that has always worked. However when the program performs a cursor.execute("sql") to insert or delete a row then it does not work - no error, nothing. The response is as if I am successful updating the database but no changes are reflected. The code below essentially is creating a dictionary (I have plans for this later) and just doing a quick build of a sql insert statement (which works as I testing the entry I wrote to the log) I
