Does anyone know if it is possible to load in a stored procedure (sql server express edition) some gif files form harddisk and insert them into a table?
thanks,

*Create a table with two columns - one varchar to store the name of the file, another column of type IMAGE - to store an image data.

*Create the sproc that accepts two parameters - file name and image data.
The implementation of the sproc might be very 'passthrough' simple - inserting data from input parameters into the table.

*In client code load image file from a disk into array of bytes. Pass this array along with a filename to the sproc.

ps: Proposed implementation of the sproc is very simple, and doesn’t take into account any considerations (like error handling, resolving of filename collision, etc).
