Hi - after extensive searching I cannot find the solution to this. I upload a file using csASPupload - which creates a binary. I have a sql tabe with a varbinary(max) column.
The vbscript stored procedure is
set addit = Server.CreateObject("ADODB
addit.ActiveConnection = connectionstring
addit.CommandText = "dbo.AddContractPDF"
addit.CommandType = 4
addit.CommandTimeout = 0
addit.Prepared = true
addit.Parameters.Append addit.CreateParameter("@RE
addit.Parameters.Append addit.CreateParameter("@co
addit.Parameters.Append addit.CreateParameter("@pd
addit.Execute()
I've tried everything I can think of on the size field, even just set to 2GB in bytes - the error I always get is String data, right truncation
Many thanks!

The question is how long strings can be processed in VB. Did you try some small file?
I would recommend to copy the file to SQL Server and then import it to a table directly by following command:
INSERT INTO YourTable (YourVarBinaryColumn)
SELECT BulkColumn FROM OPENROWSET(BULK '<YourFileOnServer>', SINGLE_BLOB) t
Everything you have to do is pass the file name to your SP.
If you cannot copy file to the server folder then you could use these instructions:

I just did it a different way - I hate making sql strings - but this worked - I just don't have any clue what the format is to use a stored procedure - but anyway this nasty way worked
Set DBConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB
DBConn.Open connectionstring
SQL = "SELECT * FROM contractpdfs where 1=2"
Set Recordset = Server.CreateObject("ADODB
Recordset.Open SQL, DBConn, 1, 2
Recordset.AddNew
Recordset("ContractID") = contractID
Recordset("pdftemplate") = Upload.FileData(0)
Recordset.Update
Recordset.Close
DBConn.Close
What else should be LongVarBinary than VarBinary(max)? I am sure the 205 type is correct. The 204 must raise data truncation because varbinary data size is restricted.
The size passed as parameter is published differently, some sources are saying 2147483647, other sources recommend actual size and one source is saying actual size + 1... BUT all sources are recommending 205 data type.
The -1 seems to be a nonsense. SQL Server report this number for VarBinary(max).

hi,
Check the size of the pdf you are uploading...
"varbinary(max
I dont suggest to store the files in database... rather than storing files save the filenames and path in that database and using this path call the files from the application... this will improve the performance of the database...
