| Hi, Okay here is a scenario. I have a zip file which contains thousands of images and html files (1000 images). I unzip it using Asp.net (this is done) and now I need to save it in the database. Since each zip file has thousands of images it creates thousands of rows for a single zip since I am storing the image names in the database table so I can reconize that which zip file contain what images. So its something like this: ZipFileID ImageName1 ab1.gif 1 ab2.gif 1 ab3.gid . ... .... . ..... ....and so on till 1000 ab1000.gif. Now this is extremely bad since its creating 1000 rows for a single zip file. What if I have 100 zip files It will be a caos. Any idea how I can improve on this situation?Mohammad Azam www.azamsharp.net |

| It shouldn't be a problem. The database should be able to handle that amount of data.Any other structure would be likely to cause problems.==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.DTS can be used in a similar way.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy. |
