Inserting Image Data

    Hello fellow SQLers.

    I am having a problem inserting Image Data. I have a field called DataBody and the data I am trying to store is in the magnitude of about 0.2-10 MB. I chose Image because its supposed to hold 2GB. However, when I try and insert the data, I get "String data, right truncation." error!

    ARGHHH!!!! It doesn't make sense. It seems that it won't save anything above 8 kB!!! Is there an option somewhere I have set that is limiting this?

    HELP!!!!

    Can you post the code you are using to save the image data? 

    Are you trying to upload and download the image from asp or .Net?

    Hello there.

    Actually, I was able to figure it out. The problem was not in the database, but in the code. I was using Visual C++ with ADO and some third-party classes, however, the "geniuses" decided to NOT allow you to save IMAGE binary data, they casted it to VARBINARY!

    Thank you .... at least I know I wasn't going crazy thinking that SQL Server was acting funny!
