使用 UPDATETEXT 搭配二進位資料 (ADO.NET)
在 SQL Server 2005 之前的 SQL Server 版本中,使用二進位大型物件 (BLOB) 的選項有所限制。 根據資料庫中之欄位型別的不同,您可以利用字串值或位元組陣列插入或更新欄位,將 BLOB 寫入資料庫。 不過,BLOB 可能相當大,因此在做為單一值寫入時可能會耗用許多系統記憶體,使得應用程式效能降低。
在寫入 BLOB 值時,為了減少記憶體的使用量,一般的做法是以「區塊」將 BLOB 寫入資料庫。 以這種方式將 BLOB 寫入資料庫的過程取決於資料庫的容量。
Transact-SQL UPDATETEXT 範例
下列範例示範如何以區塊將 BLOB 寫入 SQL Server。 該範例會將包含員工影像的新資料錄 (亦即 BLOB) 加入 Northwind 資料庫的 Employees 資料表中。 該範例也會使用 SQL Server 的 UPDATETEXT 函式,將新加入員工的影像以指定大小區塊寫入 Photo 欄位。
UPDATETEXT 函式需要即將更新之 BLOB 欄位的指標。 在這個範例中,加入新員工資料錄時,系統會呼叫 SQL Server TEXTPTR 函式,將新資料錄 Photo 欄位的指標傳回。 傳回的指標值會被當做輸出參數傳回。 該範例中的程式碼會保留這個指標,並在附加資料區塊時將它傳給 UPDATETEXT。
下列範例顯示用於插入新員工資料錄和保留 Photo 欄位指標的 Transact-SQL (其中 @Identity 和 @Pointer 識別為 SqlCommand 的輸出參數)。
INSERT INTO Employees (LastName, FirstName, Title, HireDate, ReportsTo, Photo)
Values(@LastName, @FirstName, @Title, @HireDate, @ReportsTo, 0x0)
SELECT @Identity = SCOPE_IDENTITY()
SELECT @Pointer = TEXTPTR(Photo) FROM Employees WHERE EmployeeID = @Identity
請注意,Photo 欄位中會插入 0x0 (null) 的初始值。 這樣可確保擷取到新插入資料錄 Photo 欄位的指標值。 然而,Null 值卻不會影響附加的資料區塊。
在保留了新插入資料錄 Photo 欄位的指標後,該範例可以接著使用 SQL Server 的 UPDATETEXT 函式將資料區塊附加至 BLOB 欄位。 UPDATETEXT 函式中將輸入欄位識別項 (Employees.Photo)、BLOB 欄位指標、位移值 (代表要寫入目前區塊之 BLOB 內的位置),以及附加的資料區塊。 下列程式碼範例顯示 UPDATETEXT 函式的語法 (其中 @Pointer、@Offset, 和 @Bytes 是做為 SqlCommand 的輸入參數)。
UPDATETEXT Employees.Photo @Pointer @Offset 0 @Bytes
位移值是由記憶體緩衝區大小來決定,而緩衝區大小是根據應用程式的需求來決定。 緩衝區越大,寫入 BLOB 的速度就越快,但所使用的系統記憶體也較多。 在這個範例中使用較小的緩衝區,僅 128 位元組。 第一個資料區塊的位移值是從 0 開始,之後以每個連續區塊的緩衝區大小來遞增。
ADO.NET 更新範例
這個範例會從提供的路徑上以區塊擷取員工相片。 每個區塊會依照指定的緩衝區大小讀入位元組陣列中。 之後,系統會將這個位元組陣列設定為 SqlCommand 的 @Bytes 輸入參數值。 接著更新 @Offset 參數值,並執行 SqlCommand,將目前位元組區塊附加至員工資料錄的 Photo 欄位。
