Results

Once a query has completed running, the results are displayed on the Results tab.

results-thumbnails_b  

On the top panel, images that were retrieved from the database are retrieved in one of three layouts:

· thumbnails  
 
layout-thumbnails  
 
When this layout is selected, images are grouped by records in a vertical format. The first text column in the result set is used to name the group. Each image is named after the column from which the image data is stored in.  
 
· tiled  
 
layout-tiled  
 
When this layout is selected, images are grouped by records in a vertical format, similar to the thumbnail layout. A summary of each image's attributes is displayed.  
 
· filmstrip  
 
layout-filmstrip  
 
When this layout is selected, images are grouped by records in a horizontal format. The first text column in the result set is used to name the group. Each image is named after the column from which the image data is stored in.  
 

If SQL Image Viewer does not recognise image formats that it claims to supports, see this topic for troubleshooting options.

Double clicking on any image will open that image in an Image viewer window. If that image was previously opened, the page containing that image will be made active. You can save an image to disk by first selecting that image, then bring up the context menu by right clicking on that image, and select the Save image...
item. You can also view the binary data for the selected item by selecting the View as hex item in the context menu.

On the bottom panel, the result set text data is displayed in a grid. Selecting an item in the grid will change the focus in the top panel to the corresponding record's group. SQL Image Viewer will also try to identify the data type stored in the column, and display the type (if known) and the binary data size.
