encoding and save images - node.js

Question

I am a beginner with node.js and I would ask you for advice. Using a selection from the database I get the required data (ID, building, floor, map). The map is stored in jpg format as a byte array 0x89504E470D0A1A0A0000000D4948... . I save to a new database id, building, floor and reduced map (where quality is reduced through https://www.npmjs.com/package/images), which is now Unicode-encoded(http://puu.sh/g6UZ2/90408c7b12.png). Could you please advise me how to convert a reduced size map to a byte array and then store it in the database as a BLOB. Thank you and sorry for my English
var myQueryMaps2 = ' SELECT ' +
'id, budova, patro, mapa ' +
'FROM dbo.cis_mapyBudov';
app.get('/originalMaps', function (req, res) {
var request = new sql.Request(connection);
request.query(' DELETE FROM dbo.cis_mapyNewBudov', function (err) {
if (err) {
console.log(err);
}
});
request.query(myQueryMaps2, function (err, rows, recordset) {
if (!err && res.statusCode === 200) {
for (var i = 0; i < rows.length; i++) {
var insertSQL = "INSERT INTO dbo.cis_mapyNewBudov (id, budova, patro, mapa) VALUES ('" + rows[i].id +
"', '" + rows[i].budova + "', '" + rows[i].patro + "', '" + images(rows[i].mapa).toBuffer('jpg', {quality: 50}) +
"')";
request.query(insertSQL, function (err) {
if (err)
console.log(err);
else
console.log('save');
});
}
} else {
console.log('error original maps', err);
throw new Error('Can not download original maps');
}
});
});

Use input parameters, it's almost always a bad idea to concatenate values into TSQL.
var request = new sql.Request(connection);
request.input('id', rows[i].id);
request.input('budova', rows[i].budova);
request.input('patro', rows[i].patro);
request.input('mapa', sql.VarBinary(MAX), images(rows[i].mapa).toBuffer('jpg', {quality: 50}));
request.query('INSERT INTO dbo.cis_mapyNewBudov (id, budova, patro, mapa) VALUES (#id, #budova, #patro, #mapa)', function (err) {
// ...
});
Hint: Always create a new Request for each query. That's how the driver is designed. Reusing Request object might cause unexpected behavior.
