Adding a new field to an existing table with image field

Hi,
I have a concern about adding a new field to an existing table with image
field - which is huge.
Will there be a problem with some databases, where they have a hard time
locating data correctly after such a large field? I was advised to put all
the big fields at the end of the table.
Thanks> I was advised to put all

I don't know why you were given this advice. The position of columns within
a row does not affect performance.
Unless you specify the 'test in row' option, a row contains only a pointer
to a separate area containing the image.
Hope this helps.

Hmm.. what is this "test in row" option?

I would ask the person who gave you this advise the underlying rationale.

That's a typo :-) I meant to say 'text in row'.
With the 'text in row' table option, values smaller than the specified size
are stored in the data row itself rather than in separate text/image pages.
This can help performance when your images are small enough to fit on the
data page and are most often selected along with the other data. I doubt
this appropriate in your case since you mentioned that the values are large.
See the Books Online for a complete description of the 'text in row' table
option.
Hope this helps.

Perhaps the person experienced some sort of corruption and attributed the
cause to the position of large columns. As far as I know, this concern is
not warranted. There is no reason to place large columns (text or
otherwise) at the end of the row.
Hope this helps.

Sounds like old advice from a dBase or Foxpro person... Doesn't apply

Adding a new field to a table with image field

Hi,

I have a concern about adding a new field to a table with image field - which is huge.

Will there be a problem with some databases, where they have a hard time locating data correctly after such a large field?

Previously this happened to me, and what was advised to put all the big fields at the end of the table.

Thanks.

I have not heard of such impact caused by the order of columns. When SQL search table to locate a row, it either uses table scan (when no index exists on the table) from the IAM page, or utilize indexes (clusetered/nonclustered) if there is any on the table. To learn more about table structuer, you can refer to:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/architec/8_ar_da2_8sit.asp

I recommend you to read <Programming a Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2000 Database> if you're interesting in this, which includes a topic "How SQL Server Retrieves Stored Data".

Add Images to table of SQL Server 2005

Dear All,
How can I assign an image to an image-field in a SQL Server 2005
Express with the tooling of Microsoft (I have Visual Studio 2005 Team
edition). I cannot find a way.
Further I tried to write an small program with an DataGridView, but
here I can fill in all other fields except the image field. So how can
I get images in the database?
Thanks in advance, FrankSee if this helps:

add an image to the web page

hi

u didnot get the question!

I asked I copeid an image to the app_data folder and dropdowned a image object to the web form, image--> style-->background-->background image-->select back ground image from the app_data folder , the image appear on the page but when I debug the page it donot display

Thats because you posted in the wrong forum, this is a SQL Server Express forum and depending on the rare information you gave, I assumed that you want to load the image from SQL Server and display it in a webpage. If the file is on disk you will have to provide the code you are using to do this. BTW the app_data folder is reserved for storing data not the actual res / misc files.

Add A dynamic image value In Header Reports

Dear All,

i have a problem ,

In report header i add an image, we know that in header and footer i can't enter value like this "value=Fields!<Name>.value " and i can replace it with

"value =reportitems!<Name>.value " but and this didn't work exactly , it just work local or when i post the image from my computer like this/images/">"http://<computrname>/images/<image name>" but when write /images/">"http://<servercomputername>/images/<image name>" it doesn't work

Please Help

with my best regard

Hi,

From your description, it seems that you want to add a image in your report, right?

You can include stored images in a report by specifying a URL to the image. When you use an external image in a report, the image source is set to External and the value for the image is the URL address to the image. For a report published to a report server configured for native mode, use a full or relative path. For example,/images/image1.jpg">http://<servername>/images/image1.jpg. For a report published to a report server configured in SharePoint integrated mode, use a fully qualified URL. For example,//Documents/images/image1.jpg">http://<SharePointservername>/<site>/Documents/images/image1.jpg.

For more information, see:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms156482.aspx

Thanks.

Note: it's soo urgent

Please any one help Thanks

Hi,

From your description, it seems that you want to add the image into your report's header, also, you want to add the data in the page's header right?

If so, for adding data into page's header, you may refer the following article:
http://blog.irm.se/blogs/eric/archive/2006/05/25/Reporting-Services_3A00_-Data-in-a-Page-Header.aspx

For adding images, just include stored images in a report by specifying a URL to the image. When you use an external image in a report, the image source is set to External and the value for the image is the URL address to the image.

More information see:http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms156482.aspx
