(SQL Server) Create Binary MIME

Demonstrates how to create and save a multipart/mixed MIME document where the parts (a JPG and a PDF) are NOT base64 encoded, but are instead binary.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.62 or greater.

Chilkat ActiveX Downloads

ActiveX for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows

-- Important: See this note about string length limitations for strings returned by sp_OAMethod calls.

    -- Chilkat does not recommend trying to use binary MIME for email.
    -- Binary MIME is typically used in HTTP for uploads and downloads.
    -- 

    -- Also, binary MIME is not representable in a string.  
    -- If we try to get the MIME as a string, then it must be encoded
    -- using base64.

    -- Chilkat automatically changes binary encodings to base64
    -- when there's an attempt to get the MIME as a string.
    DECLARE @sb int
    -- Use "Chilkat_9_5_0.StringBuilder" for versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0
    EXEC @hr = sp_OACreate 'Chilkat.StringBuilder', @sb OUT

    EXEC sp_OAMethod @sb, 'WriteFile', @success OUT, 'qa_output/email_fromSb.eml', 'utf-8', 0

    -- Likewise, if we try to get the MIME as a string from the Mime object, 
    -- it cannot contain non-character data in a binary encoding.  The binary
    -- bytes MUST be in base64.  The act of trying to retrieve the MIME in string
    -- format will force Chilkat to convert binary encodings (for non-text parts)
    -- to base64.
    EXEC sp_OAMethod @mime, 'GetMimeSb', @success OUT, @sb
    EXEC sp_OAMethod @sb, 'WriteFile', @success OUT, 'qa_output/mime_fromSb.eml', 'utf-8', 0

    -- However, the above use of base64 is just for the purpose of making the MIME
    -- string friendly.  If we save the MIME to a file, it's still binary:
    EXEC sp_OAMethod @mime, 'SaveMime', @success OUT, 'qa_output/mime_binary.mime'

    EXEC @hr = sp_OADestroy @mime
    EXEC @hr = sp_OADestroy @binData
