How and where are Facility Map images stored in VI's SQL Database?

  • Specification

The Facility Map images are stored in the dbo.FacilityMap table under the MapData column. The dbo.FacilityMap table also contains the ServerID that the facility map was created on and assigned to, as well as the image size and image used to create the map itself.

Because the image is being stored in the database (in the MapData field as byte code) the original image that was used to create the Facility Map can be moved, edited, deleted, changed, etc. without any repercussions to the image stored in the database.
