Insert varbinary data into SQL Server database

Question

I have this table:

   (
   ,
   ,)

I tr

Answer 1

Two issues:

Issue #1: don't use TEXT anymore - it's deprecated. Use a VARCHAR(n) with a suitable size of n, or if you really must (only if you REALLY must), use VARCHAR(MAX)

CREATE TABLE dbo.CONNECT_USER
(
    NUM_TRF int,
    NAME varchar(255),
    DESCRIPTION varchar(1000),
    REPORT varbinary(max)
)

I would personally also avoid writing EVERYTHING IN ALL CAPS - this just makes it so much harder to read! And I would try to avoid very generic column names like Name or Description - those are not very intuitive, and might collide with other table's columns and / or with SQL Server reserved keywords. Try to use more expressive, more context-related column names that make sense in your environment (ConnectUsername or whatever)

Issue #2: when doing an INSERT, I would recommend to always define the column you want to insert into. This avoids unpleasant surprises when a table is restructured or new columns are added:

INSERT INTO [MY_DB_APP].[dbo].[CONNECT_USER](NUM_TRF, NAME, DESCRIPTION, REPORT)
VALUES(1, 'name', 'description', CAST('wahid' AS VARBINARY(MAX)))
GO
