Chunking to ntext / image columns in SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5

Hi all!

I'm trying to store (potentially) large files in a SQL Server Compact Edition SDF file, via a table with an image column.  Image columns hold up to 2GB.

Every SQL CE example I've found which does this reads the whole file into a Byte array, then passes the array in a SqlCeParameter.   This is fine assuming that the file is small, or the code is run on a machine with plenty of memory.  But if, for example, you're trying to store a 1GB file on a PC with 512Mb, the whole file cannot be buffered in one go (without paging).

What I want to be able to do is read and store "chunks" of a file into an image col.  E.g. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/317034    I think this approach is both faster and more mem efficient.   It is possible on SQL Server 2008 etc., using either UPDATETEXT or UPDATE ... [column name].write( ..., ..., ...).   However, SQL CE doesn't appear to support either syntax.

So, I guess my question boils down to: is it possible to store a 2Gb file in an SQL CE image column on a PC with 1GB of mem. (without spending ages paging)

Thanks in advance,

Ben.
