RE: What Gets Stored When Access Inserts a BLOB?



Hi Mark,

Thank you for using Microsoft MSDN Managed Newsgroup. My name is Mark Han.
I am glad to work with you on this issue.

From your description, I understand that after you create a talbe in the
access database, if you insert into a OLE object(PDF file), the data which
is inserted in to the database is much larger the acutally PDF file. and
you would like to know what get stored when access insets a BLOB. If I have
misunderstood, please let me know.

To make sure we are on the same page, I would like to explain the following
1 Access add a header to each binary image before storing it in the
database. This header is of a variable length but it's usually in the
range of 72 to 76 bytes and will usually be of the same length for the same
type of image.

2 I have tried to re-produce the issue; however after I inserted the PDF
file with(1175 KB) and save the accessdatabase, the size of the access
database is just 1400 KB ; so the issue you describe is not able to be
reproduced on my machine. Based on the my test, to better understand the
issue, please help to confirm/collect the following
a) how many OLE Object you have inserted into the database?

b) please send me a simple of the access database file. if possible, please
send me an email; I will create a FTP(workspace) for you to upload the file
requested.

Besides, about the slow performance when insert PDF file into the SQL
Server 2008. As I explained before, the issue might be related to the
scenario.
my test step
create a talbe with 2 column
insert the pdf file by the command. the pdf file is inserted into the SQL
Server database quickly. So to better understand the issue, please describe
the steps you do when re-producing the issue
INSERT INTO access(data) VALUES(0x0)

UPDATE access set data = (SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET(BULK
'E:\01_Engine_Extended Events (XEvent) Fundamentals.pdf', SINGLE_BLOB) AS x
)

If there is anything unclear, please let me know.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,
Mark Han
