Upload image directly through mySQL Command Line

Question

I have a certain table in mySQL which has a field called \"image\" with a datatype of \"BLOB\". I was wondering if it is possible to upload an image in that field directly f

Answer 1

It is more preferable to build a sample application and then insert the values in the database. For instance this method could be used to enter a BLOB datatype into the database...

[WebMethod]
                public string sendDataToMySql(string get_name, byte[] buffer)
                {
                    string MyConString = "SERVER=localhost;" +
                          "DATABASE=test;" +
                          "UID=root;" +
                          "PASSWORD=admin;";


                    MySqlConnection connection = new MySqlConnection(MyConString);
                    connection.Open();
                    MySqlCommand command = new MySqlCommand("", connection);
                    command.CommandText = "insert into testImage(name, image) values(@name, @image);";


                    MySqlParameter oParam1 = command.Parameters.Add("@name", MySqlDbType.VarChar, 50);
                    oParam1.Value = get_name;


                    MySqlParameter oParam2 = command.Parameters.Add("@image", MySqlDbType.Blob);
                    oParam2.Value = buffer;

                    command.ExecuteNonQuery();

                    connection.Close();
                    return "Data was inserted successfully!";
                   }
