Approximate String Searches
Nov 3, 2005
For anybody that implemented fuzzy searches in SQL Server or any other
database for that matter. I have implemented edit distance algorithm,
specifically q-grams, in SQL Server and wanted to get some opinions
from anyone who used a similar algorithm in a DBMS.
We are looking to implement fuzzy address search and are employing
number of different techniques including synonyms for strings like
"drive", "dr", "drv", etc... Number expansion, so 6 ave = Six Ave =
6th Ave = 6... Now, we also have an implementation of edit distance
algorithm, which would cover misspellings and similar sounding words.
One of the challenges is putting various techniques together. Synonyms
and number expansion techniques go well together but no edit distance.
Also, I am trying to figure out how to leverage edit distance
implementation for 'contains' searches. So if a string like
'Mississippi Municipal Building' would be returned if the Search is for
'Misisipi Municipal'.
Any thoughts?

Based on the description below on average how many hours a month would it take to monitor and maintain the MSSQL Server databases?
Description of IT infrastructure.All Windows Servers and MSSQL Servers are up to date on patches and best practices.
Corporate site with 3 remote sites.
All remote sites have one DC and one MSSQL Server.
The corporate site has one MSSQL Server.
Replication is performed between the remote MSSQL databases and the corporate office MSSQL database.
There is no in-house DBA. All DBA services will have to be outsourced. I am trying to determine what is reasonable in budgeting for time involved for this service.
There is one project written in MS Access using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) with the backend residing on these database.
The question is on average approximately how many hours a month would it take to monitor and maintain the health of the MSSQL Servers database by a MSSQL DBA. The DBA will not have to create any user reporting, queries, etc. Just maintain the existing MSSQL Servers database.

Dear all
I was doing research oh how to do some searches on dates that allow a bit of a freedom to the person searching. They should be able to specify the parameters.
For example how would you make a search for all events that happened on a specific day in any year,any month? example : every 18
Or how would you searh for values that happened in a specific month in any year and any day? eg. May
Or how would you search for values that happen in a specific year and any day and month? eg. 2007
Or how would you search for values that happen every 18 May?
I tried few things and can only work out the search for the year bit. The values are saved in the database as DateTime.
Any advice is apreciated.
Sincerely

Hey everybody,
First thank you for all your help thus far. Now I'm stuck again. I've been doing a lot of reading on triggers and logging information into tables but I've been trying to capture how many times someone enters an item into the search box.
So every time somebody types Gumballs into the search box I want to capture it and the name of the person who is currently logged in. Is there away to do this? Maybe this is something that I should be checking in ASP.NET forums?
Thanks in advanced guys!

I have a number of functions that require the input of parameters in order to ultimatly create a report under Reporting Services by making use of a Stored Procedure.
All the functions etc work as does the stored procedure, but it only works if I specify data that I know exists e.g.
DECLARE @return_value int
EXEC @return_value = [dbo].[spWTRalldatareportsummary]
@dt_src_date = N'04/28/2006',
@chr_div = N'NE',
@vch_portfolio_no = 3,
@vch_prop_cat = N'core'
SELECT 'Return Value' = @return_value
GO
How can I set this so that it will wild card the value. For example rather than having to specify
@chr_div = N'NE', I could specify something like
@chr_div = N *, so it would show both NE and SW values in the result set.
Anybody point me in a direction here. I have tried % but that does not seem to work, I get a
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 7
Incorrect syntax near '%'.
Thank in Advance

Hi Everyone. I have created a procedure on sql to obtain information about two tables ( bookinfo and author). The procedure is :
CREATE PROCEDURE FindBookByAuthor
@Aname char
AS
select b.libcode, b.title, b.subject, a.authorname, b.instock
from bookinfo b join authorinfo a
on b.authorid = a.authorid
where a.authorname like '%' + @aname + '%'
GO
I have tested this procedure changing the variable @aname for the surname of the author. This works fine. The problem comes when I execute this procedure from web matrix. I use a textbox to obtain the data for the variable @aname. I send the data. What happens is that when I run the web page and look for a book through the author the select statement behaves differently and gives me a different output.
I would be glad to know why this happens
Thanks

Hi, I am looking for an easy and efficiant way to add a boolean search function to an already existing search i have using ASP pages and MSSQL 2000 SPROCS.
Currently I have some code such as:
CREATE PROCEDURE sp_name
@var1 int = NULL,
@var2 varchar(50) = NULL
AS
SELECT blah, blah, blah
FROM sometable INNER JOIN anothertable ON anID = anID
WHERE (table1.column2 = COALESCE(@var1,table1.column2) AND table2.column4 = COALESCE(@var2,table2.column4))
and this works like a charm, if i pass a value into @var1 or @var 2 it gives back results where those crietera match, or if I pass no values in it returns all records.... anyways, you get the idea...
Now I would like to add the ability to introduce a 3rd variable, and have it run a boolean search on a varchar(2500) column. This column is a description field for an image so I would like to be able to search the descriptions by passing in something like 'car OR bike AND travel' and return all the records that have the words 'car' or 'bike' and 'travel' somewhere in the description field.
How can i do this? I am using SQL Server Standard Edition so I don't believe I have full text search functions available, (not sure if that would even help).
Thanks all for your support and guidance!
P.S. i would also like to maintain the functinality so that if all the @var# are blank it still returns all records.

Hi,
I am writing a stored procedure to pull records from a table of personal data related to jobs applied for.
There are 3 tables involved, the jobs, the applicants and the applications.
I need to search on job title, job ref from the jobs table and on forename, surname and applicant ID from the applicants table.
There are some quirks here, if the user enters an applicant ID then we can simply scan the jobs table for that id where it also matches the job title wildcards, so that is quite easy to manage.
My own idea for the more complicated searches was to gather the unique ID's from the jobs table into a var, then do similar with the applicants and then search the applications table where both these ID's matched? I think that wouldn't work so well if using the 'WHERE IN()' clause for the main query?
So what approach would be best here to perform the second part of the SP if the client hasn't passed an ApplicantID?
Obviously the applications table has both JobID and ClientID's to relate back to the applicants table.
So can anyone help here, it seems a fairly complicated statement or set of statements would be required here.
Thanks in advance.

Here is my requirement:
The script needs to enumerate the the databases in a givin instance of sql server. Then it needs to output the account with permissions on that server. Finally it then needs to search stored procedured for reference to specific file and account names loaded from a csv file. The results should be output to a text file or displayed in an exportable window format.
What I don t understand:
What do they mean by: account with permissions on that server, which account re they talking about
and what do they mean by the SP references a specific file and account name? how can an SP reference a file or account name. i have never seen that?
Thanks for help.

Hi All,I have the following scenario. I have a table called Invoice. Thishas around 30 columns of which i have to do a retrieval based onfilter conditions on 10 columns. These filters need to be partialsearches i.e. for e.g the Customer name could be 'Arun', 'Parthiv','Aaron', now i should be able to search the customer as 'ar' and itshould return 'Arun' and 'Parthiv'. My concern is there are 10 columnson which this like '%x%' search has to be done and there willpractically be hudreds of thousands of rows. can anybody suggest me toimprove the performance of such a query. Currently what i am thinkinof isselect Id, Memo, .. FROM Invoice where CustomerName like '%' + @Name +'%' and etc.P.S. am using ASP.Net as the front end.

Hiya,
I have recently become responsible for a small database for a volunteer soccer league. I am reasonably savvy when it comes to development, but I have not had a lot of experience with administration before.
I need to do what I think must be pretty simple: set up full text indexing so I can use a CONTAINS search on a table. The table contains all of the fields the kids use, and each field has a number of divisions that typically play on that field; we use these 'favored divisions' to make scheduling a little easier. Now, one day when I have time, I will set up a proper, normalized, one-to-many relationship between the favored divisions and the playing fields, but right now it's basically like this:
fieldID (int, primary key, identity seed)
fieldName (varchar), e.g. High School Field
favored_divisions (varchar) - comma-delimited list of divisions, e.g. G10,B14,G12
I imagine it's probably database sacrilege to have a comma-delimited list like that, but we don't have the resources now to re-write that piece of the web application. My question is, in SQL Server 2005, what do I need to do to be able to do a full-text search on this field with the following query:
SELECT fieldID, fieldName
FROM playing_fields
WHERE CONTAINS(favored_divisions,'G10')
Right now the query runs and does not return an error, but does not return any results, either. IIRC, full-text indexing is enabled by default in SQL Server 2005, but I am not familiar with the procedure -- something about having to populate a catalog. Do I need to edit or set up a new index on the actual playing_fields table? What has to happen to make this work?
Thanks very much,
Sam

I have a form that loads a dataset. This dataset is composed from SQL statements using alias and unions. Basically it takes uses data from 3 tables. This dataset also has a alias column called ClientName that consists of either people's name or business name.In addition, the form also consist of a search field that allows user to enter the 'ClientName' to be searched (i.e. to search the alias column). So, my question is how can the alias column be searched (user can also enter % in the search field)Function QueryByService(ByVal searchClientNameText As String) As System.Data.DataSet
If InStr(Trim(searchClientNameText), "%")>0 Then searchStatement = "WHERE ClientName LIKE '" & searchClientNameText & "'"Else searchStatement = "WHERE ClientName = @searchClientNameText"End If

Hi Guys,
I have to work with a poorly designed table :(, that has columns
IDINT,
thisIDvarchar(50) null,
parentIDvarchar(50) null,
Titlevarchar(255) null,
Description varchar(8000) null,
ProductTypevarchar(255) null,
The reason it is poorly designed is the table is used to hold questions and answers, all with a 1:1 relationship. Instead of having ID, ProductType, Question, Answer they have unfortunately adopted the approach of the above i.e:
id 1
thisID 3
parentid nuLL
DESCRIPTION: this is a question
id 20
thisID 3_1
parentID 3
DESCRIPTION: this is the answer to the question above
So I am writing a sproc that does this using a temp table. I got this far:
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
-- =============================================
-- Author:Spencer
-- =============================================
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[GetFAQs]
-- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here
@ProductType varchar(255)
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
-- Insert statements for procedure here
CREATE TABLE TEMP
(
IDINT,
thisIDvarchar(50) null,
parentIDvarchar(50) null,
Titlevarchar(255) null,
DescriptionQvarchar(8000) null,
DescriptionAvarchar(8000) null,
ProductTypevarchar(255) null,
)
SELECT
ID,
thisID,
parentID,
Title,
DescriptionQ,
DescriptionA,
ProductType
FROM
A2Z
WHERE
ProductType = @ProductType AND parentID IS NULL
END
GO
This gets all my questions for that product type.
What I need to do is load the questions into my temp table and then run through the a2z table again gaining the answers to the questions (the parentid holds the question ID). The answers then will also get loaded into the temp table.
Any bright sparks out there that can help me?
Cheers

Hi,
For those implementing encrypted columns, what is the recommended approach when allowing users to also do partial searches on encrypted data? (ie email or creditcard info where the tables contain millions of rows). I understand one cannot have the encryption without performance impact, but the searches can be 10 to 20 times as long as when the info is stored in normal char(20) columns. Just looking as a way to try and lessen the impact.
Thanks

I have a scenario where in I need to use a comma delimited string as input. And search the tables with each and every string in the comma delimited string.
Example:
DECLARE @StrInput NVARCHAR(2000) = '.NET,Java, Python'
SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE titleName = '.NET' AND titleName='java' AND titleName = 'Python'
As shown in the example above I need to take the comma delimited string as input and search each individual string like in the select statement.

I am trying to insert a row into a table of Microsoft SQL Server 2000.
There are various columns.
[SNO] [numeric](3, 0) NOT NULL ,
[DATT] [char] (32) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL

[CODECS] [char] (32) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL
,
The [DATTA] column is causing a problem. Even if I am trying to put only 1700 character string into [DATTA], the java code throws the following exception:-
StaleConnecti A CONM7007I: Mapping the following

Why is it throwing an exception even though the sum-total of this row doesn't exceed 8000 characters?
Can anyone please tell me what's wrong?

Hello All,
I'm a non-programmer and an SQL newbie. I'm trying to create a printer usage report using LogParser and SQL database. I managed to export data from the print server's event log into a table in an SQL2005 database.
There are 3 main columns in the table (PrintJob) - Server (the print server name), TimeWritten (timestamp of each print job), String (eventlog message containing all the info I need). My problem is I need to split the String column which is a varchar(255) delimited by | (pipe). Example:
2|Microsoft Word - ราย�ารรับ.doc|Sukanlaya|HMb1_SD_LJ2420|IP_192.10.1.53|82720|1
The first value is the job number, which I don't need. The second value is the printed document name. The third value is the owner of the printed document. The fourth value is the printer name. The fifth value is the printer port, which I don't need. The sixth value is the size in bytes of the printed document, which I don't need. The seventh value is the number of page(s) printed.
How I can copy data in this table (PrintJob) into another table (PrinterUsage) and split the String column into 4 columns (Document, Owner, Printer, Pages) along with the Server and TimeWritten columns in the destination table?
In Excel, I would use combination of FIND(text_to_be_found, within_text, start_num) and MID(text, start_num, num_char). But CHARINDEX() in T-SQL only starts from the beginning of the string, right? I've been looking at some of the user-defind-function's and I can't find anything like Excel's FIND().
Or if anyone can think of a better "native" way to do this in T-SQL, I've be very grateful for the help or suggestion.
Thanks a bunch in advance,
Chutikorn

I have a nasty situation in SQL Server 7.0. I have a table, in whichone column contains a string-delimited list of IDs pointing to anothertable, called "Ratings" (Ratings is small, containing less than tenvalues, but is subject to change.) For example:[ratingID/descr]1/Bronze2/Silver3/Gold4/PlatinumWhen I record rows in my table, they look something like this:[uniqueid/ratingIDs/etc...]1/2, 4/...2/null/...3/1, 2, 3/...My dilemma is that I can't efficiently read rows in my table, match thestring of ratingIDs with the values in the Ratings table, and returnthat in a reasonable fashion to my jsp. My current stored proceduredoes the following:1) Query my table with the specified criteria, returning ratingIDs as acolumn2) Split the tokens in ratingIDs into a table3) Join this small table with the Ratings table4) Use a CURSOR to iterate through the rows and append it to a string5) Return the string.My query then returns...1/"Silver, Platinum"2/""3/"Bronze, Silver, Gold"And is easy to output.This is super SLOW! Queries on ~100 rows that took <1 sec now take 12secs. Should I:a) Create a junction table to store the IDs initially (I didn't thinkthis would be necessary because the Ratings table has so few values)b) Create a stored procedure that does a "SELECT * FROM Ratings," putthe ratings in a hashtable/map, and match the values up in Java, sinceJava is better for string manipulation?c) Search for alternate SQL syntax, although I don't believe there isanything useful for this problem pre-SQL Server 2005.Thanks!Adam

We have the following two tables :
Link ( GroupID int , MemberID int )
Member ( MemberID int , MemberName varchar(50), GroupID varchar(255) )
The Link table contains the records showing which Member is in which Group. One particular Member can be in
multiple Groups and also a particular Group may have multiple Members.
The Member table contains the Member's ID, Member's Name, and a Group ID field (that will contains comma-separated
Groups ID, showing in which Groups the particular Member is in).
We have the Link table ready, and the Member table' with first two fields is also ready. What we have to do now is to
fill the GroupID field of the Member table, from the Link Table.
For instance,
Read all the GroupID field from the Link table against a MemberID, make a comma-separated string of the GroupID,
then update the GroupID field of the corresponding Member in the Member table.
Please help me with a sql query or procedures that will do this job. I am using SQL SERVER 2000.

Ratherthan changing the calls throughout the application, we would like tohandle it in the stored procedure so that it treats the string as aunicode string. Can we apply some function to the parameter to convertit to unicode so that we don't have to call with an N prefixed to thestring?Thanks,Yash
