Question : Inserting data into a varbinary(max) field

Hi,

I am using SQL Express 2008.

I've created a simple table that contains a varbinary(max) field.

Can someone please provide an example of an insert statement that inserts a word document (C:/test.doc) into the table.

This sounds like it should be simple but it’s got me stumped.

I need to do this because I want to explorer the full text search capabilities.

Thanks.

Answer : Inserting data into a varbinary(max) field

INSERT INTO myTable(vbmaxcol)
   SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET(BULK N'C:\Test.doc', SINGLE_BLOB) AS Document;
GO
