Hi,

i try to insert a file (*.pdf) wich is referenced in an xl-sheet into a sql
database.
the required fileformat is blob.

I found the following code for doing this in VB.

Is there anything that can do the same in excel (like here the filestream)

THX for any help

Dim conn As New MySqlConnection
Dim cmd As New MySqlCommand

Dim SQL As String

Dim FileSize As UInt32
Dim rawData() As Byte
Dim fs As FileStream

conn.ConnectionString = "server=127.0.0.1;" _
& "uid=root;" _
& "pwd=12345;" _
& "database=test"

Try
fs = New FileStream("c:\image.png", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)
FileSize = fs.Length

rawData = New Byte(FileSize) {}
fs.Read(rawData, 0, FileSize)
fs.Close()

conn.Open()

SQL = "INSERT INTO file VALUES(NULL, ?FileName, ?FileSize, ?File)"

cmd.Connection = conn
cmd.CommandText = SQL
cmd.Parameters.Add("?FileName", strFileName)
cmd.Parameters.Add("?FileSize", FileSize)
cmd.Parameters.Add("?File", rawData)

cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()

MessageBox.Show("File Inserted into database successfully!", _
"Success!", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Asterisk)

conn.Close()
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show("There was an error: " & ex.Message, "Error", _
MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error)
End Try
