This method returns some strange results, and was wondering if someone could explain why this is happening, and possibly a solution to get my desired results.
Results:
FileName = what I'd expect
FileSize = what I'd expect
Buffer = all bytes = 0
BytesRead = 0
BlobString = string of binary data
FieldType = BLOB (what I'd expect)
ColumnType = System.String
Furthermore, if the file is greater than a few KB, the reader throws an exception stating the StringBuilder capacity argument must be greater than zero (presummably because the size is greater than Int32.MaxValue).
I guess my question is how does one properly read large BLOBs from an OdbcDataReader?
public static String SaveBinaryFile(String Key)
{
try
{
Connect();
OdbcCommand Command = new OdbcCommand("SELECT [_filename_],[_filesize_],[_content_] FROM [_sys_content] WHERE [_key_] = '" + Key + "';", Connection);
OdbcDataReader Reader = Command.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.SequentialAccess);
if (Reader.HasRows == false)
return null;
String FileName = Reader.GetString(0);
int FileSize = int.Parse(Reader.GetString(1));
byte[] Buffer = new byte[FileSize];
long BytesRead = Reader.GetBytes(2, 0, Buffer, 0, FileSize);
String BlobString = (String)Reader["_content_"];
String FieldType = Reader.GetDataTypeName(2);
Type ColumnType = Reader.GetFieldType(2);
return null;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Tools.ErrorHandler.Catch(ex);
return null;
}
}
