putting container information into an SQL database

Featured Replies

i am trying to move some information from a filemaker database to an SQL database.

i am trying to accomplish this by using the ExecuteSQL script. It works fine for fields that are text or numbers, but i am having trouble making the move for container fields.

specifically, i am trying to move an image from a field named "thumbnail"

any suggestions? anybody done this?

What is the field type in the SQL database?

the field type is currently "image"

should it be something else?

Hmm, you could try a BLOB type. SQLServers "Image" field may be expecting something specific rather than a general binary object which is what a container field is. Or it may be a limitation of ODBC.

i think this may be a limitation of my understanding of SQL queries.

lets say i want to insert a file named "simple.jpg" into a field named "image" of type BLOB.

what is the query to do this?
