This sample works only with SQL Server 2008. It will not work with any version of SQL Server earlier than SQL Server 2008.
This sample uses the IRowsetFastUpload interface to send between 4MB and 4GB of data to a filestream column.
SQL Server samples and sample databases must be downloaded and installed before you can view or work with them. For more information, see Considerations for Installing SQL Server Samples and Sample Databases.
Scenario
For more information on the Filestream feature, see FILESTREAM Support (OLE DB) in Books Online.
Languages
This sample uses Visual C++.
Prerequisites
Before running this sample, make sure the following software is installed:
-
SQL Server or SQL Server Express including Database Engine.
You can download SQL Server Express from theMicrosoft Download Center .
-
The AdventureWorks database that is available at the
Microsoft SQL Server Developer Center .
-
The SQL Server Database Engine samples that are available at the
Microsoft SQL Server Developer Center .
-
.NET Framework SDK 2.0 (or later) or Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 (or later). You can obtain .NET Framework SDK free of charge. See Installing the .NET Framework Documentation.
-
Ensure that FILESTREAM support is enabled. In the SQL Server Configuration Manager, right-click on the name of your SQL Server instance. On the FILESTREAM tab, enable the options.
Building the Sample
-
Make sure your INCLUDE environment variable includes the directory that contains sqlncli.h.
-
If you are using Visual Studio, load the IRowsetFastLoadUpload.sln file and build it.
-
If you are using MSBuild.exe, invoke MSBuild.exe at a command prompt, passing it the IRowsetFastLoadUpload.sln file:
MSBuild IRowsetFastLoadUpload.sln
Running the Sample
When you run this sample, you must pass the name of a server, or a server\instance_name, well as a value between 4 MB (0x400001) and 4 GB (0xFFFFFFFF) indicating the amount of data to write.
The server must have a directory called C:\DBFsa; this is where the sample will create the database.
From Visual Studio, invoke Start Without Debugging (CTRL+F5).
If you built with MSBuild.exe, invoke IRowsetFastLoadUpload.exe.
Deleting the Sample Database
To delete the databases in c:\DBFsa, you have to detach the database in SQL Server Management Studio, as follows:
sp_detach_db 'DBFsa' IF EXISTS (SELECT name FROM master..sysdatabases WHERE name = 'DBFsa') DROP DATABASE [DBFsa] |
Alternatively, to delete the databases in c:\DBFsa, first stop the SQL Server service, which you can do at the command line with:
net stop "SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER)"
However, this will also stop the SQL Server Agent service. To restart your services, use the following commands:
net start "SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER)"
net start "SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER)"
