    Here is an example from BOL:

    Open SQL Query Analyzer, connect to an instance of SQL Server, and run the Createtb.sql query.

    Open a Command Prompt window and change the current directory to

    C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Devtools\Samples\Utils\bii.

    Enter the following command (The -v option is optional; it displays current status.):

    bii testinsert.bii -Syourservername -Dyourdbname -Usqlusername -Psqlpassword -t, -v



    Bye

    Sorry for the late post.

    Do you mean from TSQL or via teh front end eg VB.NET.

    In .NET the image datatype corresponds to a byte array.

    I once captured a web cam output into a byte array, then uploaded that to the server (part of a web app)

    To retrieve it, I set the SRC attribute of teh IMG tag to an aspx page that queried the database to get the image column.

    Or try textcopy.exe command.

    It depends what tool do you want to use to load an image. I load images into field of image data type but I use ODBC to do so. I use prepared statememt (i.e. insert IMAGES (IMAGE_COLUMN) values (?)) and SQLBindParameter to bind it with folowing flags

    SQL_PARAM_INPUT,

    SQL_C_BINARY,

    SQL_LONGVARBINARY

    and pass in a size of an image.

    Then I call SQLParamData in a loop while it returns SQL_NEED_DATA and put data in using SQLPutData.
