I have a suite of programs that currently store PDF files as BLOBs in a SQL Server database table. The purpose of this design is to take advantage of Adobe's PDF iFilter and Microsoft's Full-Text Search functionality to allow other modules of my suite to run queries against the contents of a PDF file.This has been a huge headache, however, resulting in databases that are gigantic and unwieldy. We have also run into problems getting the Adobe PDF iFilter to play nice at times. Further, re-creating the entire full-text index on an 80 GB database can take a looooooong time (when it works at all!).So, the new idea is to use the open source XPdf library to extract a copy of the textual contents from each PDF file, and instead of storing the entire BLOB, merely store that textual data for the full-text functionality. Then, instead of storing the whole PDF file in the database, it will be stored somewhere on the server's file system.My issue relates to that last bit, storing the file on the server's file system, and the subsequent serving of that file out to remote users. Currently, with the entire BLOB residing inside of SQL, it has been very simple (though not easy) to manipulate the BLOB from the server to the client and vice versa. Sending the files across the network in chunks worked out well, too. I'm not sure how to do what I want to do now, though. I'm thinking that it's not a good solution to simply make a network share where all of the PDF files are stored and let the remote user view them by issuing a: Process.Start("{remote file share}filename.pdf")What I would LIKE to do is the following:
1. A Search is run, and the end user selects a file for viewing.
2. The SQL Server knows where the file resides on the local file system.
3. Something (on the server) issues a command to create a temp copy of the file at a safe location that is shared over the network.
4. The client's program then opens the file using a web browser.
Advantages:
1. The main body of the PDF files are protected and hidden from the prying eyes of those who shouldn't see them.
2. PDF files with Fast Web View enabled will load in a linear fashion, improving user experience.
Drawbacks:
1. I don't know what the "something" is in #3 above.
2. I don't know what happens when a file type other than ".pdf" is the target of the URL in a web browser. I know simple image formats will just open, but what if the file is ".doc/x". What about any other file type? Is it the same as issuing a "Process.Start("") to the UNC path?
I have written a VB.NET program to open a word document and generate a .TIF file by printing it using the MODI printer. Usually the documents print fine. But, sometimes it appears as though all of the letters on each line are printed on top of each other which produces little square "blobs".[code]
View 1 RepliesTrying to insert 315K Gif files into an Oracle 10g database. Everytime I get this error "ora-01460: unimplemented or unreasonable conversion requested" whe I run the stored procedure. It appears that there is a 32K limit if I use a stored procedure. I read online that this does not apply if you are doing a direct insert, but I do not know how to create the insert string for a Byte Array. This is a thick client running on the server so not worried about SQL Injection attacks.

I want to be able to get the table structure / design / column information from an access database. I have created a post in the Database/Access section with no luck, here, but I am wondering if I could achieve this through vb (2008 express edition) rather than the access sql query itself. My overall goal is to compare one DB structure with another, an integrity check if you will.

I have a program using the OleDbCommand to read an indexed Access database. [code]I notice that when step debugging the program, the file is not being read in correct order.Example: it will read the record with "B" in the D01 field before a record with "A" in the same field.The record with "B" is the second record in the database.I do note that all records in the database are read before exiting the loop, just not in any apparent order.

I'm trying to build an app that will read custom properties set in an accdb file. Basically, I'm trying to build a Front End updater (Yes I know there are others already built, but they don't work the way I want). The Custom properties are initially set manually by pressing the Office button, going to Manage, then Database Properties and selecting the Custom tab.
I've got most of the code set up, but my sticking point is how to read the custom properties.
Following is the function I use within Access VBA to get the properties, but obviously this is not going to work in VB.Net.

I have a dictionary object (let's call it _do) I am using to cache some values for use in a multi-threaded program. I have a single controlling parent thread, with a timer function _doTimer() which can kick off child threads with a new instance of class MyThreadObject in each. My parent thread has _do as a property and with each time _doTimer() gets called, it may or may not repopulate _do depending on cacheflag settings. I pass a reference to _do to each instance of MyThreadObject and those threads at some point read the values of _do but DO NOT write to it.
What I want is to ensure that the child threads do not try and read _do whilst the parent thread is writing to it. Same thing but very slightly different -> I also don't want the parent thread to write to _do whilst the child threads are reading from it. However there is no problem with 1 child thread reading the values of _do at the same time as another child thread is reading the values - so ideally I do not want each child thread to completely lock out read access, only locking out Write access.. The code is roughly like this:
