Yesterday's Question of the Day (by Steve Jones - SSC Editor) |
Comparing Images I am building an ETL process between these tables in SQL Server 2022 set to 160 compatibility level: CREATE TABLE Image_Staging ( imageid INT NOT NULL CONSTRAINT Image_StagingPK PRIMARY KEY , imagestatus TINYINT , imagebinary IMAGE); GO CREATE TABLE Images ( imageid INT NOT NULL CONSTRAINT ImagesPK PRIMARY KEY , imagestatus TINYINT , imagemodified DATETIME , imagebinary IMAGE); GOI want to run this query to check if the images already loaded exist. This will help me decide if I need to insert or update an image. What happens with this query? SELECT i.imageid FROM dbo.Image_Staging AS ist INNER JOIN dbo.Images AS i ON ist.imagebinary = i.imagebinary;Answer: I get this error: Msg 402, Level 16, State 1, Line 19 Explanation: The ntext, text, and image datatypes cannot be used in direct joins.
