Hi everyone,
I have a table with a image datatype column in sql 2005. while i try to insert an image, get an error


update requestdetails set letterimage = 
(select * FROM OPENROWSET(BULK 'C:\xyz.JPG', SINGLE_BLOB) AS img)

error
Cannot bulk load because the file "C:\xyz.JPG" could not be opened. Operating system error code 5(error not found

The jpg image does exist and the path is correct. What is it that I am doing wrong.

Thanks

Does it exist on the database server? The path needs to be in the database server's perspective and not your client machine's.

Hi tkizer,

The image does exist on the machine as the database server
