Get the Value of a BitMask

This function will take a 64 bitmask string and return the value of bitmask. If you need 128, 256, etc simply change the length of the parameter, being careful to remember you may need to change the return type of int to BigInt if you get too long.

Question of the Day

Comparing Images

I am building an ETL process between these tables in SQL Server 2022 set to 160 compatibility level:

CREATE TABLE Image_Staging
( imageid     INT NOT NULL CONSTRAINT Image_StagingPK PRIMARY KEY
, imagestatus TINYINT
, imagebinary IMAGE);
GO

CREATE TABLE Images
( imageid       INT NOT NULL CONSTRAINT ImagesPK PRIMARY KEY
, imagestatus   TINYINT
, imagemodified DATETIME
, imagebinary   IMAGE);
GO
I want to run this query to check if the images already loaded exist. This will help me decide if I need to insert or update an image. What happens with this query?
SELECT i.imageid
FROM
  dbo.Image_Staging AS ist
  INNER JOIN dbo.Images AS i
    ON ist.imagebinary = i.imagebinary;
