- Anyone know if it's possible to create a report showing the rows
- (e.g., list values of key field) where the size (in bytes) of the row
- is greater than X (e.g. 500K) [--we're dealing with images].
-
- Or, we could also solve our problem if dbcc (or some other approach)
- could report the size of each row --then we'd find the rows we need on
- a case-by-case basis. [The database is not large enough to preclude
- this approach.]
-
- [What happened is that some images were accidentally scanned and
- stored at a higher dpi than we would like to use; we would like to
- identify which rows are holding images at the higher dpi, in order to
- re-scan and re-store the images.]
-
- Thanks for any tips.
- Phil
