If the direction is IN (/I) then the data from the specified 'file' is copied into SQL Server, replacing the existing text or image value. If the direction is OUT (/O) then the text or image value is copied from SQL Server into the specified 'file', replacing any existing file.

TEXTCOPY [/S ][sqlserver]] [/U [login]] [/P ][passWord]]

[/D ][database]] [/T table] [/C column] [/W"where clause"]

[/F file] [{/I | /O}] [/K chunksize] [/Z] [/?]

/S sqlserver The SQL Server to connect to. If 'sqlserver' is not

以下是一個拷貝圖像到SQL Server的add數據庫的例子, 表名add_info, 字段名

picture，圖像文件名shuijing.bmp，保存到pub_id='0611'記錄 。

sp_textcopy @srvname = 'ServerName',

@login = 'Login',

@password = 'Password',

@dbname = 'add',

@tbname = 'add_info',

@colname = 'picture',

@filename = 'c:shuijing.bmp',

@whereclause = " WHERE pub_id='0611' ",

@direction = 'I'
