This is my error when I wanted to insert image from SQL query analyzer.

Disallowed implicit conversion from data type varchar to data type varbinary, table 'Northwind.dbo.files', column 'filecontent'. Use the CONVERT function to run this query.

My queries are

SQL

Create table files(autoid int, filename varchar(50), filecontent image, isactive varchar(50))

insert into files(autoid,filename,filecontent,isactive) values(12,'google','C:\jtsimg.jpg','yes')

select * from files

Please help me to solve this error.
Thanks in advance dear friends.

Solution 1

The filecontent field should contain the binary file and not the path to the image file. This conversion fails during the insert.
You cant do this directly via management studio.
Instead try

insert into files(autoid,filename,filecontent,isactive) 
SELECT 12, 'google', BulkColumn 
FROM Openrowset( Bulk 'C:\jtsimg.jpg', Single_Blob) as pic, 'yes'

select 1 ,'test file name' ,'no',*
