SQL Server 和应用程序之间的流式处理支持（.NET Framework 4.5 中的新增功能）支持服务器上的非结构化数据（文档、图像和媒体文件）。 SQL Server 数据库可以存储二进制大型对象 (BLOB)，但检索 BLOB 会使用大量内存。
针对 SQL Server 的流式处理支持简化了对数据进行流式处理的应用程序的编写，无需完全将数据加载到内存中，从而减少了内存溢出异常。
通过流支持，中间层应用程序还可以更好地扩展，尤其是在业务对象连接到 SQL Azure 以发送、检索和操作大型 BLOB 的方案中。
警告
如果应用程序还使用 Context Connection 连接字符串关键字，则不支持异步调用。
为支持流处理而添加的成员用于从查询中检索数据，并将参数传递给查询和存储过程。 流式处理功能可解决基本的 OLTP 和数据迁移方案，适用于本地和非本地数据迁移环境。
SQL Server 中的流式处理支持
SQL Server 的流式处理支持在 DbDataReader 和 SqlDataReader 类中引入新功能，以便获取 Stream、XmlReader 和 TextReader对象并对其做出反应。 这些类用于检索查询中的数据。 因此，SQL Server 中的流式处理支持可解决 OLTP 方案，且适用于本地和非本地环境。
为了启用 SQL Server 中的流式处理支持，将以下成员添加到了 SqlDataReader：
为了启用 SQL Server 中的流式处理支持，将以下成员添加到了 DbDataReader：
对 SQL Server 的流式处理支持
对 SQL Server 的流式处理支持在 SqlParameter 类中引入了新功能，因此它可以接受 XmlReader、Stream 和 TextReader 对象并对其做出反应。 SqlParameter 用于将参数传递给查询和存储过程。
释放 SqlCommand 对象或调用 Cancel 必须取消任何流操作。 如果应用程序发送 CancellationToken，则不保证取消。
以下 SqlDbType 类型将接受 Value 的 Stream：
- 二进制
- VarBinary
以下 SqlDbType 类型会接受 Value 的 TextReader：
- 字符
- NChar
- NVarChar
- Xml
Xml 类型将可以接受 Value 的 XmlReader。
SqlValue 可接受类型 XmlReader、TextReader 和 Stream 的值。
XmlReader、TextReader 和 Stream 对象将转移到由 Size 定义的值。
示例：SQL Server 中的流式传输
使用以下 Transact-SQL 创建示例数据库：
CREATE DATABASE [Demo]
GO
USE [Demo]
GO
CREATE TABLE [Streams] (
[id] INT PRIMARY KEY IDENTITY(1, 1),
[textdata] NVARCHAR(MAX),
[bindata] VARBINARY(MAX),
[xmldata] XML)
GO
INSERT INTO [Streams] (textdata, bindata, xmldata) VALUES (N'This is a test', 0x48656C6C6F, N'<test>value</test>')
INSERT INTO [Streams] (textdata, bindata, xmldata) VALUES (N'Hello, World!', 0x54657374696E67, N'<test>value2</test>')
INSERT INTO [Streams] (textdata, bindata, xmldata) VALUES (N'Another row', 0x666F6F626172, N'<fff>bbb</fff><fff>bbc</fff>')
GO
该示例说明如何执行以下功能：
- 提供异步方法以检索大型文件，从而避免阻塞用户界面线程。
- 在 .NET Framework 4.5 中从 SQL Server 传输大型文本文件。
- 在 .NET Framework 4.5 中从 SQL Server 传输大型 XML 文件。
- 检索 SQL Server 中的数据。
- 将一个 SQL Server 数据库中的大型文件 (BLOB) 传输到另一个数据库而不会用尽内存。
