[This topic is pre-release documentation and is subject to change in future releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]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 shows how to use the FILESTREAM feature to send and receive data incrementally with SQLPutData and SQLGetData.
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 about the FILESTREAM feature, see FILESTREAM Support (ODBC) in SQL Server 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 SQL Server Database Engine samples. These samples are included with SQL Server. You can download the latest version of the samples 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. For more information, see Installing the .NET Framework SDK.
Building the Sample
-
You must specify a server. In ODBC_filestream.cpp, change "MyServer" to a valid server name.
-
Make sure your INCLUDE environment variable includes the directory that contains sqlncli.h.
-
If you are using Visual Studio, load the ODBC_filestream.sln file and build it.
-
If you are using MSBuild.exe, invoke MSBuild.exe at a command prompt. Pass in the ODBC_filestream.sln file, as follows:
MSBuild ODBC_filestream.sln
Running the Sample
-
From Visual Studio, invoke Start Without Debugging (CTRL+F5).
-
If you built with MSBuild.exe, invoke ODBC_filestream.exe.
Deleting the Sample Database
Running this sample will create a directory called c:\filestreamdemo. To delete the database in c:\filestreamdemo, first stop the SQL Server service, which you can do at the command line, as follows:
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)" |
