I am Manoj from INDIA.

I have installed Microsoft SQL SERVER 2000 Desktop Edition.

I want to see all the databases created in SQL SERVER in the VISUAL BASIC. If it were ORACLE we can query by "select * from tab" from VB and populate the listbox with the resulset. But in SQLSERVER the query is not working. Ehat should i do?

Awaiting for ur reply..

-Manoj|||Do you need all the databases or all the tables

select * from tab in Oracle would give you all the tables .. not the databases.

For selecting all tables from a particular database in sql server

select * from sysobjects where type = 'U'|||Originally posted by rajeshm

reference to the image in the database, ie, a text field
containing "c:\wwwroot\images\userphotos\user1\user1.jpg"

filesystemobject to dynamically create such a file structure.

Follow this http://www.sqlteam.com/item.asp?ItemID=986 link for more information to store images to database. satya,

you sound like it's been an industry standard to store the actual images as file system objects, rather than in the database. it's actually a matter of trust you have with one over the other. it also depends on the app itself, - surely you don't plan to search for the contents of the file even if it is of type text if it is stored in the database. i successfully implemented storing hard-copy documents in the database that get displayed whenever a hard-copy is requested by the user. i also stored report definitions as well as report outputs into image fields so that they can be viewed using the same format/the same content as when they originally produced. i just don't see a justification for this dogmatic approach. do you?|||ON the basis of performance and managebility I recommended (industry standard as you mentioned) to use the file paths instead of storing them on the database.

If your approach are fetching good results without any issues... say no issues with the database consistency then follow it. As far as my experience is concerned I tend to suggest to use file paths rather than storing images directly on the database.:)|||could you be so kind to refer me to a white paper or a publication where this "industry standard" is being discussed? i'd like to at least conceptually imagine the reasoning for this "standard" to even exist.

thanks|||[http://www.sql-server-performance.com/q&a17.asp] for instance.|||even though it's not a white paper or publication, but rather a personal opinion of an author, i'd like to comment on it:

"...storing BLOB objects in SQL Server is cumbersome..." - only if you are not sure how to do it or the method to do it is not the most efficient

"The most commonly accepted way of managing images for a website is not to store the images in the database, but only to store the URL in the database, and to store the images on a file share that has been made a virtual folder of your web server." - please note that (while still being the personal opinion of the author) the paragraph above states that it's "the most commonly accepted". i'd question that because the shops that i worked for and know of accepted the "more cumbursome" way of dealing with images and documents, and that's how they managed to be more successful than the others. you'd ask me what happened to the others? one example is when system administrator decided to reorganize the file structure which resulted in web-site being out of commission until the "more cumbursome" way was introduced and resolved the issue...forever ;)|||I need the code.

It's an often debated topic. We have had at least 5 database backed commercial document management systems and none of them stored documents in the DB. Does MS's terraserver store images in the DB? (I don't know, just wondering.)|||I think that's the reason why it's called terra server, there is nothing else in it, just images.

Yukon will still support TEXT/NTEXT and IMAGE datatypes, but will introduce VARCHAR/NVARCHAR(MAX) as well.|||I am also working on saving IMAGE to MSSQL. I am using JAVA as language.
