How to insert BLOB data into a SQL Server database table using T-SQL

One of the methods that you can use to insert BLOB data into a SQL Server database table is:

CREATE TABLE BLOB_TABLE (BLOBName varchar(100),BLOBData varbinary(MAX))

GO

INSERT INTO BLOB_TABLE (BLOBName, BLOBData)

SELECT 'First test file', BulkColumn

FROM OPENROWSET(Bulk 'C:\temp\picture1.jpg', SINGLE_BLOB) AS BLOB

GO

OPENROWSET has the functionality of letting you import BLOB data by returning the contents of the Binary Data as a single rowset varbinary(max) output.
