Extracting images and binary data from a database is a thankless and tedious task. The standard
database tools cannot even display images, much less identify the type of data that’s stored in a blob
field. And when you have gigabytes of data to extract, the last thing you need is for the tool to retrieve
everything to your computer before exporting it.
Do what the companies mentioned above have done. Use SQL Image Viewer. It simply
excels at exporting large volumes of images and binary data from your databases.
Here are some of the reasons why you’ll be smiling when using SQL Image Viewer:

Use SQL to extract your data
We know you’re pros in SQL. You want complete control over what data is exported. In SQL
Image Viewer, you’ll be using SQL commands to extract exactly what you need. No dumb
export of entire tables here, no siree.
Identify common image and file formats
SQL Image Viewer can display images stored as bitmaps, jpegs, gifs, pngs, photoshop images,
and tiffs. It can also identify binary data as pdf, html, xml, mp3, wav, 7z, bz2, gz, rar, zip and
unprotected MS Office documents (doc, docx, docm, dotx, dotm, xls, xlsx, xlsm ...) types. So
don’t take a guess as to what your blob field contains. SQL Image Viewer will simply show you.
Stingy on memory
You have a table with a million rows, each containing an image averaging 10 megabytes in size,
and you need to export all the images. Sounds impossible? Not so with SQL Image Viewer.
Where possible, it will retrieve the data in small batches, export them, discard the data, and
retrieve the next batch. Like we said, it simply excels in exporting large quantities of binary data.
Connects to most popular database servers
If you work in a environment that uses database servers from many different vendors, you’ll be
happy to know that SQL Image Viewer has support for Firebird, MySQL, Oracle, SQLite, SQL
Server, DB2 and PostgreSQL database servers. And if your database server is not one of the
above, SQL Image Viewer can still connect to your database if it has an ODBC driver.
Supports scheduled tasks
If image/binary data extraction is a regular task for you, you can easily schedule a task using
Windows Scheduler or similar tools, to run SQL Image Viewer unattended at periodic intervals to
extract the required data. SQL Image Viewer has quite a bit of smarts too, if you need to export
only new and/or modified rows.
and so much more ...
including inspection of images and binary data, configurable image processing functions,
dynamic memory monitoring, non-blocking SQL execution, listing of image EXIF properties,
auto-discovery of tables containing blob data and more.
