Access FILESTREAM Data with OpenSqlFilestream

  • Artikel

Applies to: SQL Server

The OpenSqlFilestream API obtains a Win32 compatible file handle for a FILESTREAM binary large object (BLOB) stored in the file system. The handle can be passed to any of the following Win32 APIs: ReadFile, WriteFile, TransmitFile, SetFilePointer, SetEndOfFile, or FlushFileBuffers. If you pass this handle to any other Win32 API, the error ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED is returned. The handle must be closed by passing it to the Win32 CloseHandle API before the transaction is committed or rolled back. Failing to close the handle will cause server-side resource leaks.

You must perform All FILESTREAM data container access in a SQL Server transaction. Transact-SQL statements can also be executed in the same transaction. This maintains consistency between the SQL data and FILESTREAM BLOB data.

To access the FILESTREAM BLOB by using Win32, Windows Authorization must be enabled.

Important

When the file is opened for write access, the transaction is owned by the FILESTREAM agent. Only Win32 file I/O is allowed until the transaction is released. To release the transaction, the write handle must be closed.

Syntax

  
HANDLE OpenSqlFilestream (  
    LPCWSTR FilestreamPath,  
    SQL_FILESTREAM_DESIRED_ACCESS DesiredAccess,  
    ULONG OpenOptions,  
    LPBYTE FilestreamTransactionContext,  
    SIZE_T FilestreamTransactionContextLength,  
    PLARGE_INTEGER AllocationSize);

Parameters

FilestreamPath
[in] Is the nvarchar(max) path that is returned by the PathName function. PathName must be called from the context of an account that has SQL Server SELECT or UPDATE permissions on the FILESTREAM table and column.

DesiredAccess
[in] Sets the mode used to access FILESTREAM BLOB data. This value is passed to the DeviceIoControl Function.

Name Value Meaning
SQL_FILESTREAM_READ 0 Data can be read from the file.
SQL_FILESTREAM_WRITE 1 Data can be written to the file.
SQL_FILESTREAM_READWRITE 2 Data can be read and written from the file.

Note

These values are defined in the SQL_FILESTREAM_DESIRED_ACCESS enumeration in msoledbsql.h.

OpenOptions
[in] The file attributes and flags. This parameter can also include any combination of the following flags.

Flag Value Meaning
SQL_FILESTREAM_OPEN_NONE 0x00000000: The file is being opened or created with no special options.
SQL_FILESTREAM_OPEN_FLAG_ASYNC 0x00000001L The file is being opened or created for asynchronous I/O.
SQL_FILESTREAM_OPEN_FLAG_NO_BUFFERING 0x00000002L The system opens the file by using no system caching.
SQL_FILESTREAM_OPEN_FLAG_NO_WRITE_THROUGH 0x00000004L The system does not write through an intermediate cache. Writes go directly to disk.
SQL_FILESTREAM_OPEN_FLAG_SEQUENTIAL_SCAN 0x00000008L A file is accessed sequentially from beginning to end. The system can use this as a hint to optimize file caching. If an application moves the file pointer for random access, optimal caching may not occur.
SQL_FILESTREAM_OPEN_FLAG_RANDOM_ACCESS 0x00000010L A file is accessed randomly. The system can use this as a hint to optimize file caching.

FilestreamTransactionContext
[in] The value that is returned by the GET_FILESTREAM_TRANSACTION_CONTEXT function.

FilestreamTransactionContextLength
[in] Number of bytes in the varbinary(max) data that is returned by the GET_FILESTREAM_TRANSACTION_CONTEXT function. The function returns an array of N bytes. N is determined by the function and is a property of the byte array that is returned.

AllocationSize
[in] Specifies the initial allocation size of the data file in bytes. It is ignored in read mode. This parameter can be NULL, in which case the default file system behavior is used.

Return Value

If the function succeeds, the return value is an open handle to a specified file. If the function fails, the return value is INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE. For extended error information, call GetLastError().

Examples

The following examples show you how to use the OpenSqlFilestream API to obtain a Win32 handle.

Remarks

This sample was originally written for the SQL Server Native Client (sqlncli.h) but has been updated to use the Microsoft OLE DB Driver (msoledbsql.h) for SQL Server. The SQL Server Native Client (often abbreviated SNAC) has been removed from SQL Server 2022 (16.x) and SQL Server Management Studio 19 (SSMS). Both the SQL Server Native Client OLE DB provider (SQLNCLI or SQLNCLI11) and the legacy Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server (SQLOLEDB) are not recommended for new development. Switch to the new Microsoft OLE DB Driver (MSOLEDBSQL) for SQL Server going forward.
