Hi All,

I have table to store Picture as binary value in Varbinary(Max) column. Right now am having 7 set of records which all has the varbinary value. It takes around 20 seconds to retrieve those data using following query

SQL

Select Id,Name,ImageData,Date
From ContentPicture

If 7 records itself makes 20 seconds , then it will take much more time for retrieve more records. Can you please suggest me to how to retrieve those records efficiently.

I am converting those binary data into image and displaying in my application, so totally it takes 2 - 3 mins to display an image.

Please help me out...

Thank in advance.

20 seconds? Sounds absolutely insane. It cannot be cured by better queries. The whole setting must be awfully wrong. But how can we know what it is?

What are the sizes of the images? I'd suggest either beefing up your database server or researching Filestream columns, but without more information it could be anything from a poor network connection to other processes overworking your database.

In order to optimize the database query, save the image in base 64 format, as string value in database. Take the data type for the image field as BLOB.

It will dramatically increase the database query
