It may also be useful for the point of view of metadata, logging etc as it is (for the most part) built into SSIS - i.e. it's relatively straightforward to add logging into a SSIS package, whilst the pure T-SQL approach would require you to built your logging mechanisms - the same applies to some extent to the error handling.Additionally, SSIS uses memory quite efficiently so that may be a benefit.But if your ETL is mostly E and L (or just Load in your case), with very little T, and if you can write your SPs so they don't rely on cursors, then going the SP-only route will probably be fine.HTH,BFri, 09 Nov 2012 04:55:41 GMTbleroyhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1382370-391-1.aspxThank you very much for your reply.Could you explain more about the SSIS solution possibilities?Fri, 09 Nov 2012 03:05:53 GMTassefamhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1382370-391-1.aspxHave a look at this:[url]http://www.sqlservercentral.com/blogs/practicalsqldba/2012/03/15/importing-images-to-sql-server-database-using-t-sql/[/url]In your case, you may want to adapt it slightly to match your KeyID with image name, but it should get you started.Also check if you can implement a SSIS solution instead.Also refer to forum post:[url]http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1066764-391-1.aspx[/url]HTH,BThu, 08 Nov 2012 03:43:10 GMTbleroyhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1382370-391-1.aspxI have a database with different tables. one of these tables has an image column more than 50, 000 records.I have also 40,000 image files in a separate folder C:\ImageFolder with file names the same as primary Key values of the record in the table.[b]Question: [/b]How can I insert these multiple image file from C:\ImageFolder to the corresponding record in the image column.E.g.
