Creating A Full Text Index From Management Studio 2005?
Mar 13, 2008
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?
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?
Im new to sql and very interreseted in the Full text features, however when im trying to execute the following query:
USE Updater
CREATE FULLTEXT INDEX ON dbo.Servers (ServerName)
KEY INDEX ServerID
ON UpdaterCatalog
WITH CHANGE_TRACKING AUTO
GO
Where ServerID = Int NOT NULL IDENTITY and ServerName = VarChar(255) NOT NULL and UpdaterCatalog is just created
I get the following error:
Msg 7653, Level 16, State 1, Line 3
'ServerID' is not a valid index to enforce a full-text search key. A full-text search key must be a unique, non-nullable, single-column index which is not offline, is not defined on a non-deterministic or imprecise nonpersisted computed column, and has maximum size of 900 bytes. Choose another index for the full-text key.
I cant seem to figure out why this wont work since unless im mistaking, both fields are legal.
Note that creating an index on any other table doesn't work either.
Im running Sql server standard edition (32 bits) on VISTA Ultimate X64
I found a bug in Management Studio, which can be reproduced with following steps:
1. Create a new publication with the 'New Publication Wizard' 2. Select a database which contains at least 2 tables. 3. Select 'transactional publicatioon' 4. Select at least 2 tables as articles 5. Set article properties for all table articles 6. Change 'Statement Delivery' to 'Insert statement', 'Update statement' and 'Delete statement' and save the article properties. 7. If you now check the properties for a single article you find that the 'Statement Delivery' is set to 'Do not replicate...'. If you generate this publication and create a subscritpion you will see, that actual no replication take place.
It took me a while to find out why my replication doesn't work! :-((
Hello.. When I used Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Management Studio Express to Create FULL TEXT INDEX by this code:
CREATE FULLTEXT INDEX ON txtfilestbl(txtfile) KEY INDEX PK_txtfilestbl ON ForumsArchiveLibCtlg WITH CHANGE_TRACKING AUTO
It returns this ERR MSG:
Informational: No full-text supported languages found. Informational: No full-text supported languages found. Msg 7680, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Default full-text index language is not a language supported by full-text search.
I Use same this code to create FULL TEXT INDEX by using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Management Studio, and it was working properly. What I have to do?
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
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.

UPDATE: Below is a T-SQL script you can run to demonstrate the effect I'm experiencing...
Code Snippet
-- Create test database CREATE DATABASE FullTextTest GO USE FullTextTest GO
-- Create test data table CREATE TABLE TestTable ( pk UNIQUEIDENTIFIER NOT NULL CONSTRAINT tablePK PRIMARY KEY, varbinarycol VARBINARY(MAX), documentExtension VARCHAR(5), ) GO
-- 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')
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.
I've installed all the options from the sQL server CD but can't find how to install the Management Studio. I'm missing something obvious, but beat's me where it is.
I am hoping someone could lead me in the right direction on how to figure out why my version of SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition is not working correctly. Here is my issue.
1. I've created two users: normal and superuser and associated the user to the new database. (I don't see any problem here just wanted to state two new users were created.) 2. I've created a new database (TestDB) as sa using the default seetings. 3 Next I want to create new tables in the new database. I've right-clicked on tables directory under the new database for creating a new table inside the Object Explorer Window. I get the below error when I do
Object reference not set to an instance of an object. (SQLEditors)

I was thinking something was wrong with the database so I ran sp_helpdb <database_name> and I don't get an error.
Thank for taking the time to read my post. I appreciated your time and any suggestion you could offer.
We are using SQL2005. I have a stored proc that runs a Select query based on a complex view. The sproc has two input date parameters (StartDate and EndDate). We are experiencing SQL timeout problems when the sproc is run with certain Start and End Dates. We have run the SQL Profiler and created a trace (trc) file (We've used the 'Default' trace configuration). We have used the trace file in SQL Server Management Studio to try and automatically create indexes on some of our tables. Unfortunatly SQL Server Management does not make any index recommendations. I think we are not capturing the right information in our trace file to allow SQL Server Management Studio to do its job. How do I use SQL Profiler to capture a trace of my sprocs query, so that it can be used by SQL Server Management Studio, to recommend index changes? Any help appreciated. Reagrds, Paul.
I'm trying to use a udt in a table creation, and everything works as expected, right until the moment where I rightclick on [Indexes] to create a new index.
Then I get this error:

(SqlMgmt) ------------------------------ Object reference not set to an instance of an object. (SqlManagerUI) ------------------------------ BUTTONS: OK ------------------------------
First of all, I want to say that there is no problem if I create DB in standard way, namely, when I create DB and then create some tables and so on.
But, when I made restore from SQL Server 2000 backed up file I get next message:
"Database diagram support objects cannot be installed because this database does not have a valid owner. To continue, first use the Files page of the Database Properties dialog box or the ALTER AUTORIZATION statement to set the database owner to a valid login, then add the database diagram support objects."
May someone excplain what exactly I have to do?
1. This particular user has admin permissions of this DB.
2. What does it mean "add the database digram support objects"?
I am trying to enable full text index on all of my databases but notices that it is grayed out. Also the service Full Text Index service msftesql.exe is not installed. I have tried running the install again but it says nothing has changed on the machine so it just stops the install... Hope someone can help me.
Could Full Index option only be configured during installation? When Itry sp_fulltext_table on a table, I get the message that full text isnot enabled for the system.--sharif
I am having an issue creating full indexes on both instances of an ActiveActive SQL Server 2000 cluster. I get the following error when trying to create the catalog:
Access is denied to $SQL PATH$, or path is invalid. Full-text search was not installed properly.
Does anyone have any suggestions that I may use to create the indexes?
First of all I’m new to MS SQL, I did work with mySQL
Table name db (real db has 12 columns) Id c1 c2 c3 1 tom john olga 2 tom john olga bleee
I enabled full text index on all columns
Problem when I do search like this: SELECT * FROM db WHERE CONTAINS(*,'�tom� AND “john�')
It will return only one row (id 2) – I understand that the full text search does look only at one column at a time because it did not return row #1
Anyway I thought that I can add extra column c4 and when user enters new data it will save data from columns c1, c2, c3 to c4 (varchar(750)) and then I will do search only on c4 – this way it will work the way I want.
1) Is there any better way to do this? 2) How do I sort results by “rank� with SQL
I have a table with 13,000,000 records. I want to generate a full-text index on one column (a varchar 2000). I am able to define the full-text index, but when I click on "Start Full population", there is virtually no activity (no disk activity, no CPU activity, very little to indicate anything is happening.
When I check the properties of the catalog, it shows 1 MB size and 0 records in the catalog. The status of the catalog is "idle" and the display in EM shows that the last full population occurred at (about) the time that I generated the population request. I have generated the request by using EM (right click on table) and through SQL Agent with the same result (no catalog generated).
I am running SQL 2000 (SP4) on Windows 2000 (SP4) with 4 GB RAM and sufficient disk space available. I have enabled the full-text service and verified that it is running (I have stopped and restarted it as well).
I have worked with Full Text indexes before and never had any kind of issue before. Any thoughts or suggestions would be welcome.
I am a developer, and I have a disagreement with my DBA. He has convinced management, that SQL 2005 FullText Index is so much overhead on production, that it should NEVER be used under any circumstances. We have a Cold Fusion site, and somehow he convinced management that a bunch of Cold Fusion developers can create a more efficient full text indexing method than by using SQL 2005 Full Text Index. So now we have to come up with a method for doing this in Cold Fusion.
Is there any statistical data that could possible support or refute his statements? Thanks
I build some t-sql code to check if full text is installed on the sql server. If not, some sql statements must be not executed. Here is my code:
if (select serverproperty('IsFullTextInstalled')) = 1
Begin
EXEC sp_fulltext_database 'enable'
CREATE FULLTEXT CATALOG [...] WITH ACCENT_SENSITIVITY = OFF AS DEFAULT
CREATE FULLTEXT INDEX ON dbo.Test (Name LANGUAGE 0, Description LANGUAGE 0) KEY INDEX IX_Test_1 ON [...] WITH CHANGE_TRACKING AUTO ALTER FULLTEXT INDEX ON dbo.Test ENABLE
End
Statement 1 and 2 is not executed, but for statement 3 the server throws the following error: Full-Text Search is not installed, or a full-text component cannot be loaded.
I don't know why the server tries to execute statement 3, because it is in an if statement.
I am tring to use full text indexing. I have created an index and catalog. I can search on stuff that was entered before I created the index using contains or freetext but if I search on anything afterwards the results come up blank. I have created the following database and tables. I am using sql express with advanced services. The primary key I went in after I created the tabled and modified the row to increment by 1
create database RSDB2
use rsdb2
create table support
(ftid int NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
problemId varchar(50) NOT NULL,
problemTitle varchar(50) NOT NULL,
problemBody varchar(max) NOT NULL,
lOne varchar(50),
lTwo varchar(50),
lThree varchar(50),
lFour varchar(50),)
create fulltext catalog RSCatalog AS DEFAULT
create unique index ui_Support on support(ftid)
create fulltext index on support(problemBody)
key index PK__support__7C8480AE on RSCatalog
insert into support(problemId, problemTitle, problemBody)
values('win1001','testing outt he database','testing out the databases full texting capabilities again.')
select * from support where freetext(problemBody, 'testing');
I have built a Full-Text Index on a indexed view. I'd like to replicate this indexed view from a control database to a live database. What values should I specify for @type and @schema_option for the sp_addarticle sproc to ensure the Full-Text Index is still functional after it's replicated?
For now, I have set @type="indexed view logbased" and @schema_option=0x90000F3. Are these values correct?
I've got a full text index working with a "CONTAINS" clause in the SQL. I'm looking for the character that I can place in CONTAINS(*,'WHATHERE') that will return everything. I've tried "*" and "%" but none of them will do it. Does anybody know?
I am trying to use the following Query to create the table Agents and add rows to it.
