I want to include the image which is stored in the SQL SERVER 2000 in my report. In the Synonym I have found that the image is in BLOB format .If I print that particular image field in my report it shows only the binary values. How can I include the images in the report?
I used the LOGO field which is in PUB_INFO table in PUBS database (SAMPLE DATABASE FOR SQL SERVER 2000)
Two months ago I struggeled with the same issue. This is the advice I got from IBI:
"The basic idea is to call a stored procedure that extract the image on the run and have WebFOCUS call the image from the hard drive. This might not work with hundreds of images but for a single drill down it should work. And will only work if your SQL server can store files into a directory that is available to the Web Server. 1. You need to create a stored procedure (you can use following sample) http://www.mssqlcity.com/Articles/KnowHow/Textcopy.htm 2. Create a master for this procedure. 3. Build a Webfocus report that in step one calls the stored procedure and then created a report using the image."
As I am not keen on programming stored procedures, I gave up. I'm very interested in other solutions though.
