The code from above to import multiple images
From MyWiki
-- I'm going to assume you already have a destination table like this one set up. CREATE TABLE Images (fname nvarchar(MAX), DATA varbinary(MAX)); GO -- Set the directory whose images you want to load. The rest of this code assumes that @directory -- has a terminating backslash. DECLARE @directory nvarchar(MAX) = N'D:\Images\'; -- Query the names of all .JPG files in the given directory. The dir command's /b switch omits ALL -- data from the output save for the filenames. Note that directories can contain single-quotes, so -- we need the REPLACE to avoid terminating the string literal too early. DECLARE @filenames TABLE (fname VARCHAR(MAX)); DECLARE @shellCommand nvarchar(MAX) = N'exec xp_cmdshell ''dir ' + REPLACE(@directory, '''', '''''') + '*.jpg /b'''; INSERT @filenames EXEC(@shellCommand); -- Construct and execute a batch of SQL statements to load the filenames and the contents of the -- corresponding files into the Images table. I found when I called dir /b via xp_cmdshell above, I -- always got a null back in the final row, which is why I check for fname IS NOT NULL here. DECLARE @SQL nvarchar(MAX) = ''; WITH EscapedNameCTE AS (SELECT fname = REPLACE(@directory + fname, '''', '''''') FROM @filenames WHERE fname IS NOT NULL) SELECT @SQL = @SQL + N'insert Images (fname, data) values (''' + E.fname + ''', (select X.* from openrowset(bulk ''' + E.fname + N''', single_blob) X)); ' FROM EscapedNameCTE E; EXEC(@SQL);
