Post TXT file with few lines of data and SQL syntax of your DB table (CREATE TABLE ...)

[Earthshine]

i looked at the db... here, it's just field numbers. here is the exported data

1,"test.txt","Controller","Simulation","Testing"
2,"test1.txt",,"Testing",
3,"test2.txt","Simulation",,"Testing"
4,"test3.txt",,,
5,"test4.txt",,"Testing","Simulation"
6,"test5.txt","Testing",,
7,"test6.txt","Simulation",,
8,"test7.txt",,,"Testing"
9,"test8.txt","Simulation","Controller",
10,"test9.txt","Testing",,
11,"test10.txt",,"Testing",
12,"bhanu.txt",,,
13,"Test3.txt",,,"Testing"
14,"access.txt",,"Simulation",

Try to use ADO.au3 UDF   
In MS SQL in table, the desired column should have "image" as "Data type"

In MS ACCESS the column property is called ... how you think ??

Spoiler

Attachment  
eventually 
OLE Object
https://docs.microsoft.com/pl-pl/office/vba/access/concepts/miscellaneous/datatype-property

Never used to save File as binary data in MS ACCESS DB , so I'm not sure here.

 

File Should be read as $FO_BINARY:

Local $hFile = FileOpen('FileFullPath',$FO_BINARY)
Local $dBinaryData = FileRead($hFile ) 
FileClose($hFile)

 

$dBinaryData should be Inseted by SQLQuery = "Insert Into "

like this MS SQL Example:

.....
Local $sQuery = _
        "INSERT INTO [" & $s_SQL_CATALOG & "].dbo.[Documents]" & @CRLF & _
        "([IDCase],[BINARY],[ext]) OUTPUT inserted.[IDDocument]" & @CRLF & _
        "VALUES(" & $i_IDCase & "," & $dBinaryData & ",'" & $sExtension & "')" & @CRLF & _
        ""
Local $oRecordset = _ADO_Execute($oConnection, $sQuery)
.....

 

EDIT: of course you can also save file name , but this is realted to specyfic database structure, but in my example it was not important. You can think about [ext] and $sExtension like a FileName.

Thanks for suggestions. I did something. But I am getting following error

line(264) : ==> The requested action with this object has failed.:
$AdoCon.Open("Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0; Data Source=" & $pathToDB)
$AdoCon^ ERROR

Can anyone resolve this problem?

Thanks

@price98 The error is telling you what the problem is. You try to create the ADODB connection $AdoCon and it fails, so when you try to do $AdoCon.Open, there is no object to open. Your script is severely lacking in error checking, which is going to make it more difficult to pinpoint errors as you move forward.

add COM ERROR HANDLER by adding this:

; User's COM error function. Will be called if COM error occurs
Func _ErrFunc($oError)
    ; Do anything here.
    ConsoleWrite(@ScriptName & " (" & $oError.scriptline & ") : ==> COM Error intercepted !" & @CRLF & _
            @TAB & "err.number is: " & @TAB & @TAB & "0x" & Hex($oError.number) & @CRLF & _
            @TAB & "err.windescription:" & @TAB & $oError.windescription & @CRLF & _
            @TAB & "err.description is: " & @TAB & $oError.description & @CRLF & _
            @TAB & "err.source is: " & @TAB & @TAB & $oError.source & @CRLF & _
            @TAB & "err.helpfile is: " & @TAB & $oError.helpfile & @CRLF & _
            @TAB & "err.helpcontext is: " & @TAB & $oError.helpcontext & @CRLF & _
            @TAB & "err.lastdllerror is: " & @TAB & $oError.lastdllerror & @CRLF & _
            @TAB & "err.scriptline is: " & @TAB & $oError.scriptline & @CRLF & _
            @TAB & "err.retcode is: " & @TAB & "0x" & Hex($oError.retcode) & @CRLF & @CRLF)
EndFunc   ;==>_ErrFunc

to your script and by modyfing function which contain Line #264 I mean this function:

Func _DBConnect()
    $AdoCon = ObjCreate("ADODB.Connection")
    $AdoCon.Open("Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0; Data Source=" & $pathToDB)
    return $AdoCon
EndFunc

In this way:

Func _DBConnect()
    Local $oErrorHandler = ObjEvent("AutoIt.Error", _ErrFunc) ; each function using COM/ActiveX object should use COM ERROR Handler - Global or Local (like in this case).
    #forceref $oErrorHandler
    ; Error monitoring. This will trap all COM errors while alive.
    ; This particular object is declared as local, meaning after the function returns it will not exist.
    $AdoCon = ObjCreate("ADODB.Connection")
    $AdoCon.Open("Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0; Data Source=" & $pathToDB)
    return SetError(@error,@extended, $AdoCon) ; returnig $AdoCon just after invoking method you should return @error and @extended by using SetError(..)
EndFunc

Of course you should modyfi all your functions

or just use my ADO.au3 as suggest to you recently.
