I have to convert all the images stored in SQL Server as blob ( binary ) to image file and stored in the directory.


I have a table in MS Access DB which the table called Articles_Image Table . These are the following fields in Article_Image Table

Article_Image
-------------------
JPGname (PK) | Jpgdoc | CatDescNo | CategorySlno

I have import the Access database to SQL Server, i would like to know if SQL Server can able to provide either DTS services or using stored procedures to convert all those images stored as binary (BLOB) stored in Article_Image Table in SQL Server to a JPG image and stored in my folder example c:\imagesEach image file name is derived from the JPGname data. All the images are originally derive from JPG file.

The reason is i need to retrieve all those images stored in the database to a real picture file for editing purpose."

You will not be able to do this with T-SQL or with DTS. You'll need to code a front-end application that can get the images out. I believe www.asp.net has examples of how to get the images out. I'm sure the code can easily be modified to save the images to disk.
