Hvordan gemmer man en billedfil på en Postgres-database?

Jeg skriver normalt ikke komplette eksempelprogrammer til folk, men du krævede det ikke, og det er ret simpelt, så her skal du:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import os
import sys
import psycopg2
import argparse

db_conn_str = "dbname=regress user=craig"

create_table_stm = """
CREATE TABLE files (
    id serial primary key,
    orig_filename text not null,
    file_data bytea not null
)
"""

def main(argv):
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
    parser_action = parser.add_mutually_exclusive_group(required=True)
    parser_action.add_argument("--store", action='store_const', const=True, help="Load an image from the named file and save it in the DB")
    parser_action.add_argument("--fetch", type=int, help="Fetch an image from the DB and store it in the named file, overwriting it if it exists. Takes the database file identifier as an argument.", metavar='42')
    parser.add_argument("filename", help="Name of file to write to / fetch from")

    args = parser.parse_args(argv[1:])

    conn = psycopg2.connect(db_conn_str)
    curs = conn.cursor()

    # Ensure DB structure is present
    curs.execute("SELECT 1 FROM information_schema.tables WHERE table_schema = %s AND table_name = %s", ('public','files'))
    result = curs.fetchall()
    if len(result) == 0:
        curs.execute(create_table_stm)

    # and run the command
    if args.store:
        # Reads the whole file into memory. If you want to avoid that,
        # use large object storage instead of bytea; see the psycopg2
        # and postgresql documentation.
        f = open(args.filename,'rb')

        # The following code works as-is in Python 3.
        #
        # In Python 2, you can't just pass a 'str' directly, as psycopg2
        # will think it's an encoded text string, not raw bytes. You must
        # either use psycopg2.Binary to wrap it, or load the data into a
        # "bytearray" object.
        #
        # so either:
        #
        #   filedata = psycopg2.Binary( f.read() )
        #
        # or
        #
        #   filedata = buffer( f.read() )
        #
        filedata = f.read()
        curs.execute("INSERT INTO files(id, orig_filename, file_data) VALUES (DEFAULT,%s,%s) RETURNING id", (args.filename, filedata))
        returned_id = curs.fetchone()[0]
        f.close()
        conn.commit()
        print("Stored {0} into DB record {1}".format(args.filename, returned_id))

    elif args.fetch is not None:
        # Fetches the file from the DB into memory then writes it out.
        # Same as for store, to avoid that use a large object.
        f = open(args.filename,'wb')
        curs.execute("SELECT file_data, orig_filename FROM files WHERE id = %s", (int(args.fetch),))
        (file_data, orig_filename) = curs.fetchone()

            # In Python 3 this code works as-is.
            # In Python 2, you must get the str from the returned buffer object.
        f.write(file_data)
        f.close()
        print("Fetched {0} into file {1}; original filename was {2}".format(args.fetch, args.filename, orig_filename))

    conn.close()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main(sys.argv)

Skrevet med Python 3.3. Brug af Python 2.7 kræver, at du læser filen og konverterer til en buffer objekt eller brug de store objektfunktioner. Konvertering til Python 2.6 og ældre kræver installation af argparse, sandsynligvis andre ændringer.

Du vil gerne ændre databaseforbindelsesstrengen til noget, der passer til dit system, hvis du vil teste den.

Hvis du arbejder med store billeder, så overvej at bruge psycopg2's støtte til store objekter i stedet for bytea - især lo_import for butik, lo_export til at skrive direkte til en fil, og de store objektlæsefunktioner til at læse små bidder af billedet ad gangen.
