How to add image to table cell and read the image's url value from database field in ssrs? - sql

I am working on a ssrs report. I have a table and it is linked to a database query.
Query returns a field which includes image urls of every item.
For example:
ID Name URL
1 Line1 https://www.servername.com/images/a.jpg
2 Line2 https://www.servername.com/images/b.jpg
Then i add an image from toolbox to table's last cell. Then from Image Properties, i choose database, then i choose database field and MIME type then i click OK.
After i run the report, i see crosses instead of image. Why is it happening? How can i show the images properly?

Thanks.

when you set the source to database you are saying that the image is stored in the database. What you actually have stored is a link, so you need to use image source external and add the data field to the expression for the "use this image".

Select External - then in the dropdown for the "Use this Image" select the data field that has the url in it.
At run time it will pull the url from the database and show the image.

Change the text of Power Query using vba

I've a situation when by click on the button a Power Query text must be updated.
So what is needed to be done:
take the data that user provided as a files location and file names (no problem with that)
send to Power Query new location and file names, refresh the Query.
As I've seen, only Refresh is vba-described...
Does somebody have the information on how the text of Power Query could be modified?
It's supported in Excel 2016 and later: https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/office/VBA-to-automate-Power-956a52d1
Use the Workbook.Queries property to change the text.

Adding images to Oracle SQL Developer

I'm using Oracle SQL Developer and I'm trying to add images from a folder on my desktop to the database. I have a table consisting of:
id number
Name varchar
description clob
thumbnail blob
image ordimage
filename varchar2
I want to be able to add an image to this table.
Is there a way I can manually add them or is their any code tips or help I can get?
In Sql-Developer, you neet to click on the table on the right side,
then select "Data" tab, then insert new row (or select existing row),
next click to BLOB column, on the following dialog click to "Load" option,
then select an image and upload it to the table from local disc
See attached picture.

How can I extract the value of a varbinary(max) column?

I have a varbinary(max) column that is storing images in an SQL database.
I am working on a newdb script, where an application creates a new instance of the db and populates a few of the tables. One of those tables I am working on is initializing that image column.
In order to do this, I printed the contents of the column using a select statement and pasted the content into the insert statement of the newdb script. This appeared to work initially, but the image didn't load correctly.
So I compared the DATALENTH() of the original data (5469988) and the new data (21839). It appears the Microsoft SQL Server management Studio - 2014 cut off the data why I copied it from the original db at a certain point. I need to be able to get the entire content of the column. Any ideas?
select cast(convert(varchar(max), VarBinaryMaxColumn, 1) as xml) from Table
Instead of copying/pasting, right-click on the results and do 'Save Results As...', and that should export the full contents. Funny thing is setting the query output to text or file explicitly will still truncate long data values.
If you copy and paste your limited to the query result options. Mostly columns will be cut of after a certain lenght (often 256 chars).
You can select in the top bar "save result as..." which will prompt you an dialog for data export.
You can use the data export wizard too.

Display blob content using Eclipse database explorer

I'm connected, using Eclipse database development view (standard of Eclipse Indigo), to an Oracle DB in which, for a particular record (that I already know), I want to view one column content in "text" form (although the column contains BLOB data).
When I simply do a
select MYBLOBCOLUMN from MYTABLE where ID='myid'
SQL results view only show an execution log, but no data. So, how can I see that BLOB content ?
The BLOB datatype was invented in order to be able to transfer "custom" objects from one database to another. The Database itself has no idea how to interpret and display the stored data in the blob field.
It can be an image, application, video, audio or anything else. If you have stored normal text in a blob field your database program has no idea that it is regular text.
If you store text in a database, you better use (n)varchar or memo data type.
