Greetings,
I am a software programmer and working on a .net web application(ASP.NET 4.0, c# ).
I am new to postgres and for my current project I am using postgres as database.
In this need functionality to upload a pdf file to database and then retrieve it again from database.
I have taken bytea column in my table to store binary file data. I am taking byte array to convert the data.
When I try to retrieve this pdf file from database ,its not working.
Please see the below code and suggest me some solution.
Here is my code:
3. ########## Database table ############
CREATE TABLE testimage
(
id integer,
img bytea
)
2. ########## function to save file in database
protected int UploadDocumentsPostgres()
{
int result = 0;
if (fuDocuments.HasFile)
{
fuDocuments.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("Temp/") + fuDocuments.FileName);
using (FileStream pgFileStream = new FileStream(Server.MapPath("Temp/" + fuDocuments.FileName), FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))
{
using (BinaryReader pgReader = new BinaryReader(new BufferedStream(pgFileStream)))
{
byte[] pgByteA = pgReader.ReadBytes(Convert.ToInt32(pgFileStream.Length));
NpgsqlConnection cn = new NpgsqlConnection("server=195.100.1.100;port=5433;database=DTMS;user id=postgres;password=admin@123");
NpgsqlCommand cmd = new NpgsqlCommand();
cmd.Connection = cn;
cn.Open();
string sql = "insert into testimage values(@id,@data)";
cmd.Parameters.Add("@id", NpgsqlTypes.NpgsqlDbType.Integer, 1).Value = 1;
cmd.Parameters.Add("@data", NpgsqlTypes.NpgsqlDbType.Bytea, pgByteA.Length).Value = pgByteA;
cmd.CommandText = sql;
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
cn.Close();
}
}
}
return result;
}
3. ################### Retrieve file from database and save in temp folder ########################
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
NpgsqlConnection cn = new NpgsqlConnection("server=195.100.1.100;port=5433;database=DTMS;user id=postgres;password=admin@123");
NpgsqlDataAdapter sda = new NpgsqlDataAdapter("select * from testimage", cn);
sda.Fill(dt);
if (dt.Rows.Count > 0)
{
byte[] doc = (byte[])(dt.Rows[0]["img"]);
FileStream fs = new System.IO.FileStream(Server.MapPath("Temp/") + "temp.PDF", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write);
BinaryWriter bw = new BinaryWriter(new BufferedStream(fs));
bw.Write(doc, 0, doc.Length);
bw.Flush();
bw.Close();
fs.Close();
}
