[英]How to read a TEXT column and treat is as byte array
We have an ancient foxpro application with a function which has to be converted to C#. 我们有一个古老的foxpro应用程序,其功能必须转换为C#。
Basically, all it does is to read a XLS file from a SQL Server database table and save it on the local disc. 基本上,它只是从SQL Server数据库表中读取XLS文件并将其保存在本地磁盘上。 This file serves as an Excel worksheet template.
此文件用作Excel工作表模板。
The binary XLS file information is stored in a TEXT
column (which makes me nervous) and is extracted via FoxPro with this single line: 二进制XLS文件信息存储在
TEXT
列中(这让我很紧张),并通过FoxPro通过以下单行提取:
lnResult = SQLEXEC(THISFORM.Hconn, "select XExcell from MyTable", "xy")
SELECT xy
IF !EMPTY(xy.xExcell) AND !ISNULL(xy.xExcell)
COPY memo xy.xExcell to (SomeFile)
The problem is that C# (or at least the ADO command) treat the column as a string. 问题是C#(或至少ADO命令)将列视为字符串。 Well, that is what the reader comes up with when I execute a
好吧,这就是读者在执行时所提出的
MyADOCommand.ExecuteScalar();
Edit: Which is an implicit string and cannot be casted to a byte array. 编辑:哪个是隐式字符串,不能转换为字节数组。
So, here's my problem: The data is in some binary form in the SQL Server and has to be pulled and treated as a raw byte array (and finally written to disc, giving it an extension of .XLS
and pray that Excel is able to read the file). 所以,这是我的问题:数据在SQL Server中以某种二进制形式存在,必须被拉出并作为原始字节数组处理(最后写入光盘,给它扩展
.XLS
并祈祷Excel能够读取文件)。
Any idea how to achieve this? 知道怎么做到这一点? The following code obviously does not work
以下代码显然不起作用
var s=(string)cmd.ExecuteScalar();
var enc = new System.Text.ASCIIEncoding();
var template= enc.GetBytes(s);
var fs = new FileStream(excelTemplateFile, FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Write);
var bw = new BinaryWriter(fs);
bw.Write(template);
bw.Flush();
bw.Close();
fs.Close();
I also tried to cast the TEXT
column as an IMAGE
, but that does not work either (SQL Server complains that it cannot convert). 我还尝试将
TEXT
列转换为IMAGE
,但这也不起作用(SQL Server抱怨它无法转换)。 I know the problem is the fact that a text (a string of characters) is not a stream of bytes, but if FoxPro can do it, C# should be able as well, no? 我知道问题是文本(一串字符)不是字节流,但如果FoxPro可以做到,C#应该也能,不是吗?
Edit: The contents is approx 3MB big. 编辑:内容大约3MB。
Change the SQL query to cast the column to varbinary as follows: 更改SQL查询以将列强制转换为varbinary,如下所示:
select cast(cast(XExcell as varchar(max)) as varbinary(max)) from MyTable
Then: 然后:
var bytes = (byte[])cmd.ExecuteScalar();
using (var writer = new BinaryWriter(File.Open("your file name", FileMode.Create)))
{
writer.Write(bytes);
}
EDIT: Double casting TEXT -> varchar(max) -> varbinary(max), because direct casting from TEXT -> varbinary(max) is not allowed 编辑:双重转换TEXT - > varchar(max) - > varbinary(max),因为不允许从TEXT直接转换 - > varbinary(max)
