Hi,

Environment : Appeon PowerBuilder 2017 R2

Database : SQL Server 2012

Would I be right in assuming that even with an OLE Database blob column in a datawindow that the actual writing of the blob to a varbinar(Max) column still has to be achieved in Powerscript using UPDATEBLOB?

Essentially, I wish to have a PB File Open Dialogue control that allows a user to navigate to a file on the file system and then have that data written to the database. Is it possible to have PB call the .net framework to do such a thing?

 

Thank you

David

Hi David;

  1. Yes, you would still need to use the FileReadEx() and UpdateBlob commands in PB to copy the external file into a SS Blob column.
  2. FWIW: I have done this before as well by having the PB App call an ISQL script to import the files into a Blob.
  3. Same as #2, but calling an SSIS ETL package to do the work.

Food for thought.

HTH

Regards .. Chris
