I know your should not store pictures in a SQL table but I have a need to do this.
Here is what I have.
Col1 - part number
Col2 - Part Description
Col3 - Part Image

the images are stored on a network location, lets says
\\server1\images\partnumber.jpg

How can I update all of part images using (col1)partnumber in the network location?

So if my part number in col1 is 12345 I want to go out to the network location \\server1\images\ and insert\update the col3 with the picture 12345.jpg.

I am trying but I can not seem to find a way to do this.
Any help would be great.

Why don't you just store the reference to the file in col3?

I think most people would use either c# or powerShell to do this. You could also look at SSIS.

If you want to use t-sql, you could look at adapting the following:
