you should be using varbinary. there was a separate datatype called image before but thats deprecated so varbinary(max) is the way to go.

you can use OPENROWSET ..BULK to insert an image in db.

Hi, morietrenatus.
I have ever tried to store pics with the help of the following code:


using System.IO;
using System.Drawing.Printing;
using Yiigo.Imaging;
using Yiigo.Imaging.Processing;
using Yiigo.Imaging.Loading;

// Get or create an image to save later.
YiigoImage image = GenerateImage()

Save image to JPG format.
Image.Save("jpgimage.jpg", new JpegEncoder(), null);

/*Save image to PNG format.
Image.Save("pngimage.png", new PngEncoder(), null);

Save image to gif format.
Image.Save("gifimage.gif", new GifEncoder(), null);
*/

Or you can also google it and select a fine imaging tool whose way of processing is simple and fast to help you with the related work. It will be better if it is totally manual and can be customized by users according to our own favors. Remember to check its free trial package first if possible. I hope you success. Good luck.

Best regards,
Arron

Have you thought of storing the image on the file system and saving the path to it as text?
This will perform very well for you.
