Hi,

I need to move image date (datatype image) from one table to another in a stored procedure, but it just won't work.

Can anyone help me with that?

TIA

How about you post what you are trying and the error message you are getting....

This works for me....


create table imagetest (img image)
create table imagetest2 (img image)

insert into imagetest values ('blah')

insert imagetest2(img)
select img from imagetest

<O>

Well, I guess I should have been more precise ;-)

I tried to update a table with an image field with one from another table.

I uses the following statements:

update blobtest set pic =
select pic from member_galerie_pics
where id = 42

But all I got was:
Server: Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 2
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'select'.

ummm yeah.... The syntax is invalid.....

try something like this....

update blobtest set pic =
(select pic from member_galerie_pics
where id = 42)
where id = 42

Peace

I tried that, too.

I used:
update blobtest set pic =
(select pic from member_galerie_pics
where id = 42)
where id = 1

But in return I got this:
Server: Msg 279, Level 16, State 3, Line 1
The text, ntext, and image data types are invalid in this subquery or aggregate expression.

UPDATE b SET pic = m.pic
FROM blobtest B INNER JOIN member_galerie_pics M
ON B.id=M.id
WHERE B.id = 42

Haven't tested it but it should work. If not, you'll have to look at cursors (eeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww) in conjunction with READTEXT and UPDATETEXT.
