Can I Enable Full Text Index On A Database From Within Visual Studio 2005?
Nov 18, 2007
Hi,
I have visual studio 2005 with the sql server express edition that is installed by default when installing vs2005.
I am used to work from within vs when I want to create and work with databases for my web sites (I dont have visual manager installed).
I would like to enable full text search on a table's column.
Is there an easy way to do that from within vs or is it necessary to install another copy of sql server express with advanced services as well as sql server managment studio express?
How can I know if full text search is enabled?
Thanx in advance!

Hello, I have a database that has Full Text Search it works great under Management Studio Express. I can use the CONTAINS expression no problem. Now when I try using the same database in Visual Studio 2005 the CONTAINS statement it doesn't return any values and I don't get any error messages. The way I call my database from my web.config file is as follows: <add name="MyDB" connectionString="Data Source=.FULLTEXTSEARCH;Integrated Security=True;AttachDBFilename='D:My DocumentsVisual Studio 2005WebSitesApp_DataMyDataBase.mdf';User Instance=false" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/> Why doesn't Full Text Search work when I use it from my web application and it does work under SQL Server Management Studio Express? Please help, Louis

I know how to create it from the query window:
CREATE FULLTEXT INDEX ON table_name
[(column_name [TYPE COLUMN type_column_name]
[LANGUAGE language_term] [,...n])]
KEY INDEX index_name
[ON fulltext_catalog_name]
[WITH
{CHANGE_TRACKING {MANUAL | AUTO | OFF [, NO POPULATION]}}
]
But where and how can I create it graphically in management Studio for 2005?
Thanks for any help or information.

I have a following problem. I have installed the
Microsoft Search Service. It is visible in the Service
Manager and is shown as running. The platform is a
Windows XP professional machine running SQL Server 2000
developer. I am using the service off the local host. I
can not enable the Full-Text search on the database as
that field is grayed out in the tools menu. Having read
the KB article 270671 I tried to use the stored procedure
sp_fulltext_database 'enable' to achieve the desired
result, but recieved an error 7609 Full-Text Search is
not installed, or a full-text component cannot be
loaded. At least according to the Service Manager the
Microsoft Search service is up and running. Any ideas as
to what is causing this. Thanks a lot.

Hello,
I know this question has been asked here before, but it was ridiculously answered : http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=98764&SiteID=1
I have a text object on my crystal report, to which I programmatically want to assign text in CS. It all works fine, except that if I have html tags in there, the text doesn't get formatted, it just displays the html tags as text as well.
Now in thread linked above, the answer was: right click the text object, and format the text object, hit paragraph text and select text interpretation to HTML. The only problem is, that for a text object, it doesn't have the text interpretation option. It's only an option for a formula field. It says so in the tech support link posted inside the post itself!!!
So if you have any idea how I can do this, please someone help me out. I am new to crystal, and there's not much helpful info on it online. I've searched for this for hours, and no solution.
Thanks

Hi,
Can anyone please explain the proper precedure for copying a SQL Express database between two instances?
I am accessing the database without problems from a local web application. And I want to copy the database to a SQL Express instance on another server, running the same web application.
I run into two problems every time I copy:
1) Orphaned users. I have to drop the database users and the re-map the server users to database users.
2) The full-text indexes are not available after copy, so I have to drop and re-create the indexes and the catalog.
And I suspect there's an easier way..
Regards,
Jens Erik

Is there any way to move a db with full-text indexes from one physical machine to another without having to drop catalog/indexes and the re-create them?

"Short" Story Version:
I have a VS 2005 Web Appplication solution that uses SQL Server Reporting Services 2005. One of the projects is a Report Server Project. In this project I have an RDL file that has:
1.)a non-shared XML DataSource (no credentials),
2.)a DataSet with a Command Type of Text and a Query String that is as follows:
<Query>
<XmlData>
<Root>
<LOAD LOAD_ID_PREFIX="" LOAD_ID="" TRUCK="" DIAGRAM=""/>
</Root>
</XmlData>
</Query>
3.)a field that comes from the Database that is of VarBinary(Max) that is a JPEG Image
What happens is, is that by doing #2 above, at design time I can create tables and hook into my datasets and get the report all designed out the way I want. Then at runtime, I have a Stored Procedure that uses the "FOR XML AUTO" option so that I can represent my results from the database in an XML fashion which will allow me to replace the XML Schema in between the Root tags above (in #2) with my actual data (which still has the same schema). I then save the modified RDL to a database table field and move on to happily ever after......in this case, not. In this case, since an VarBinary is involved, unless I want to get a pointer back for the Diagram Column, I have to use the "FOR XML AUTO, BINARY BASE64" option. This returns an Encoded string to represent the Binary value that was in the Database....and this is the partial source of my angst....read on.
My approach that I described above worked flawlessly in all cases where an image wasn't involved. This report is the only report in the whole system I am working on that will have an image and it is the last one being done, so that's why I didn't run into this earlier.
I have tried all kinds of things at different levels, but the thing that I have tried that seemed to me to have the most potential was to use Embedded Code to take the Encoded ASCII Value and convert into something binary that the SSRS Reporting Engine likes (so my image will show), but I have been unsuccessful thus far. The error message I keep getting now from my Embedded Function is: "Invalid length for a Base-64 char array", which I have not been able to resolve thus far....and I do know that the Binary value in the database is good becuase I can see it in pages in my application otherwise.
This aside, is there anyone out there that knows how to take the value of a VarBinary(Max) field and insert it into the Text (XML) DataSet in the markup of an RDL file....and have it appear correctly when the report is rendered in something like the standard Report Viewer Control (or even when being previewed at design time inside of Visual Studio for that matter)?
Just to be clear, the root of my problem, as I see and understand it, is that I have a VarBinary value in a database that is being converted to a string (ASCII...I am presuming) due to how I am writing my stored procedure and then needs to go back to something else binary that the SSRS Engine will accept so that I can see my Image in the report when I render it.
I am wishful that someone out there understands my problem and has run into this and has a solution......but I am wishful of winning the lottery, too, and that hasn't happened yet...............
Thanks.

I had my database in 6.5 which i upgraded to 7.0 using SQL Server upgrade wizard.Then I created full text catalog. When I say incremental population It gives me warning that You can create full text indexes but can not execute queries against it as the database is still in SQL server 6.5 mode.What is the reason behind this?

I am looking for a recommnded hardware setup for the databases server. I know there is no one answer but I am wondeirng if there is a microsoft guide that I could use.
If anyone has any experience, i would welcome your comments as well.
I am estiamting that the full text index will be about 2-4 gb in size, most of the activity will be full-text searches.
Also, any good benchmarks out there for full-text searching or sql server tps ?

We have an installation of SQL2005 Express that was loaded via the "SQL2005Express with advanced services" download .exe.
Full text indexing wasn't enabled during installation.
It says to go to add/remove programs. Going that route when it goes to install FTI it says that it can't find the installation files in what looks to be the origonal "TEMP" folder created and removed during installation.
If I run the program installer from the download again it states that SQL is already installed and to use "add/remove programs".
We are stuck at this point. Is there an ISO available that could be burned to disk?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, I was wondering if any SQL Server gurus out there could help me...I have a table I'm trying to apply a full text catalog to, however no results are ever returned due to the text column being cataloged being of varbinary(max) that's being populated from a converted nvarchar(max) value - I've narrowed it down to this specifically, populating with non nvarchar text seems to work fine.To re-create the problem quickly...If I populate the column viaCONVERT(varbinary(max), 'test text')then there is no problem, I get results as expected.However if I populate the column viaCONVERT(varbinary(max), CAST('test text' as nvarchar(max)))no results are ever returned.Is this a bug with SQL Server 2005 Full Text Indexing? I'm happily creating full text catalogs when an nvarchar is not getting converted into a varbinary.I'm setting the Document Type column to '.html' (I've tried changing this to '.txt' in case it was a fault with the html ifilter but the problem persists so I believe I can rule this out).The reason I need to convert an nvarchar to varbinary is that the table holds multi-lingual text and I'm adding a html meta tag <META NAME="MS.LOCALE" CONTENT="ES"> to the beginning in order for the full text indexing word breaker to select the correct language to catalog the text with. The aim being to provide more relevant searches in users native languages (I've read a few articles that describe this technique, but it's the first time I've tried to apply it).Any pointers / suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Cheers,Gavin.

-- Create test data table
CREATE TABLE TestTable
(
pk UNIQUEIDENTIFIER NOT NULL CONSTRAINT tablePK PRIMARY KEY,
varbinarycol VARBINARY(MAX),

-- The below single entry WILL BE FOUND (the text source is being entered directly)
INSERT INTO TestTable (pk, varbinarycol, documentExtension) VALUES (NEWID(), CONVERT(VARBINARY(MAX),'<META NAME="MS.LOCALE" CONTENT="EN">test entry 1'), '.html')
-- The bellow two entries below WILL NOT BE FOUND (the text source is taken from an NVARCHAR(MAX) value)
INSERT INTO TestTable (pk, varbinarycol, documentExtension) VALUES (NEWID(), CONVERT(VARBINARY(MAX), CAST('<META NAME="MS.LOCALE" CONTENT="EN">test entry 2' AS NVARCHAR(MAX))), '.html')
INSERT INTO TestTable (pk, varbinarycol, documentExtension) VALUES (NEWID(), CONVERT(VARBINARY(MAX), CAST('<META NAME="MS.LOCALE" CONTENT="EN">test entry 3' AS NVARCHAR(MAX))), '.html')
GO
-- Create the full text catalog
sp_fulltext_database 'enable'
GO
CREATE FULLTEXT CATALOG TEST AS DEFAULT
GO
CREATE FULLTEXT INDEX ON TestTable (varbinarycol TYPE COLUMN documentExtension LANGUAGE 1033)
KEY INDEX tablePK
GO
-- NOTE: You might need to give the catalog a chance to build before running the script below.
-- Now do a search that SHOULD RETURN 3 ROWS of data, but ONLY 1 ROW IS RETURNED
SELECT CAST(varbinarycol AS NVARCHAR(MAX)) FROM TestTable WHERE CONTAINS(varbinarycol, 'test')

Databse was successfully created and I created two tables also in it. Now when i try to create a new connection in Visual Web Developer 2005, I get the error message :
"Directory lookup for the file "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLDataContactManager.mdf" failed with the operating system error 5 (Acess is denied.).
Cannot attatch the file "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLDataContactManager.mdf" as 'ContactManager'."

This may be a silly question but I've got a .NET 2.0 application with several projects/libraries. I'd like to have the benefits of a VS 2005 Data Project (deployment, code snippets, etc.) but I can't figure out how to take an existing C# project and allow it to also be a Database project (there should be the extra "Data" tabe in the project's properties).
Any tips?
Thanks!

I am using Full Text Index to index emails stored in BLOB column in a table. Index process parses stored emails, and, if there is one or more files attached to the email these documents get indexed too. In result when I'm querying the full text index for a word or phrase I am getting reference to the email containing the word of phrase if interest if the word was used in the email body OR if it was used in any document attached to the email.
How to distinguish in a Full Text query that the result came from an embedded document rather than from "main" document? Or if that's not possible how to disable indexing of embedded documents?
My goal is either to give a user an option if he or she wants to search emails (email bodies only) OR emails AND documents attached to them, or at least clearly indicate in the returned result the real source where the word or phrase has been found.

Quick question about the primary purpose of Full Text Index vs. Clustered Index.
The Full Text Index has the purpose of being accessible outside of the database so users can query the tables and columns it needs while being linked to other databases and tables within the SQL Server instance.
Is the Full Text Index similar to the global variable in programming where the scope lies outside of the tables and database itself?
I understand the clustered index is created for each table and most likely accessed within the user schema who have access to the database.
Is this correct?
I am kind of confused on why you would use full text index as opposed to clustered index.
Thank you

Is it possible to do a full restore of a database without restoring the full-text catalogs? At the end of each month, we restore a copy of a database for quick access to month-end data with a different name. e.g. we restore the database DBN as DBN1107. Since upgrading to SQL 2005, the restore is failing because it it trying to restore the full-text catalog.

I recently installed the Evaluation Edition of SQL Server 2005 x64 and it appears that MS Visual Studio 2005 is installed in stead of SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio. When I choose new project the only template available is "Blank Solution". How do I get all the templates (i.e. Analysis Server Project, Integration Services Project, Report Model Project, Report Server Wizard project, etc.)?
Or would it be better to uninstall MS Visual Studio 2005 and attempt to reinstall BIDS?

I am new to visual studio and I am still not sure of all its components and features.
I installed visual studio 2005 standard edition but cannot find SQL Server Management Studio?
I guess this must be because it is not included with Visual studio 2005 standard. Is it included with VS 2005 professional?
I want to add pictures of products to my shopping site using an SQL database and I’ve been told that SQL Server Management studio is required as it is a graphical tool.
How would I go about obtaining the SQL server management studio. There seems to be different versions of SQL server that it is confusing to know which one to purchase.
Will the SQL server 2005 version that comes with Visual studio standard be sufficient for me now right? I want to create a shopping site with hundreds, perhaps even thousands of products. I want to use an SQL server 2005 database. The database will include ‘dynamically generated’ product images if that is the correct terminology.
My goodness, it seems I still have so much to learn.
Thanks

I have a database in my "App_Data" folder of my visual studio project. I can view it fine in Visual Studio's built-in tools for managing a database attached to a solution. However i recently started playing around with the SQL Server Management Studio Express program. When i attach my database to Management Studio, and try to run my program it crashes. I think it might be a permissions error?!? When i detatch it and reattach it in visual studio it runs fine again. Any suggestions? ThanksJason
