Chapter 5: FILESTREAM with ASP.NET and SilverlightSetting up the dataFirst, we'll set up the table and data required for this lab. Create a table in the NorthPoledatabase to store the video files using the T-SQL code shown in Listing 5-21.CREATE TABLE Videos(VideoID UNIQUEIDENTIFIER ROWGUIDCOL NOT NULL UNIQUE,VideoName VARCHAR(100),VideoData VARBINARY(MAX) FILESTREAM)Listing 5-21:Creating a table to hold the video data.Now, we'll add some videos to the table. For this demo, I will use the sample video filethat comes with the Windows 7 operating system. Listing 5-22 loads a video file intothe table we just created. Make sure that you change the location of the file to pointto a .wmv file that exists on the local computer.-- Insert the data into the tableINSERT INTO Videos (VideoID, VideoName, VideoData)SELECT NEWID(), 'Windows7 Sample Video', CAST(bulkcolumnAS VARBINARY(MAX))FROM OPENROWSET(BULK'C:\Users\Public\Videos\Sample Videos\Wildlife.wmv',SINGLE_BLOB ) AS xListing 5-22:Loading a video into the table.Next, create a stored procedure that returns the logical path name of the FILESTREAMcolumn, along with the FILESTREAM transaction context (Listing 5-23).217
