I manage a remote SQL Server 7 box that has the full-text engine installed and running great. However, I am unable to access the full-text options from the Enterprise Manager remotely through my firewall from my NT Workstation or from another NT Server with the EM installed. ALL other functions of the Enterprise Manager work fine through the firewall.
When using the Enterprise Manager from a Win98 machine at home, I can connect to the remote server and all the full-text options are enabled. So... I deduce that the firewall must be the problem.
Does anyone have any clues about this? Do the full-text options via the MMC use a different port than the 1433? Does it require the RPC ports to be opened on the firewall (not likely to happen)? I can find no documentation that states that the full-text options have any port requirements different than those of the normal SQL Server management options.
I'm attached to two different SQL 7 servers and neither one has the options enabled for full-text indexing. I am the DBO for those databases and the services are running.
Any ideas what's missing? I'm using SQL 7 clients tools on my NT Workstation.
Also, are there samples of using the index/search within ASP?
An automatic monthly delete has recently grown from 15 to 20 million rows. It is now filling my 70GB T-Log completly. I don't have any space to expand the T-Log. Do I have any options other than reducing the number of rows in the delete?
Hi, i'm trying to do a full text search on my site to add a weighting score to my results. I have the following database structure: Documents: - DocumentID (int, PK) - Title (varchar) - Content (text) - CategoryID (int, FK) Categories: - CategoryID (int, PK) - CategoryName (varchar) I need to create a full text index which searches the Title, Content and CategoryName fields. I figured since i needed to search the CategoryName field i would create an indexed view. I tried to execute the following query: CREATE VIEW vw_DocumentsWITH SCHEMABINDING ASSELECT dbo.Documents.DocumentID, dbo.Documents.Title, dbo.Documents.[Content], dbo.Documents.CategoryID, dbo.Categories.CategoryNameFROM dbo.Categories INNER JOIN dbo.Documents ON dbo.Categories.CategoryID = dbo.Documents.CategoryID GOCREATE UNIQUE CLUSTERED INDEX vw_DocumentsIndexON vw_Documents(DocumentID) But this gave me the error: Cannot create index on view 'dbname.dbo.vw_Documents'. It contains text, ntext, image or xml columns. I tried converting the Content to a varchar(max) within my view but it still didn't like. Appreciate if someone can tell me how this can be done as surely what i'm trying to do is not ground breaking.
Hello everyone ! I want to perform Full Text Search with SQL Server 2000. My documents (.doc, .xls, .txt, .pdf) are stored in a SQL Server field which is binary (the type of the column is image). I would like to know, how you can extract pieces of text from the documents. Example: I have a ASPX page with codebehind in C# making the search in a table in SQL server that is full text indexed. I make a search looking for the word "peace", than SQL server will take care about the search and return it to me the rows that match with that. But also I'd like to extract the 50 characters before and after where sql server found the word "peace" to show in the result page. Does anyone has any idea how to work around it ? Best regards. Yannick
I have a column in a table that has a type TEXT,when I pull the length of a row it returns 88222 but when I select from that column it dows not show all the text in the result set.
I am using the following plumbing code to search a database column for a keyword. I can't use full-test indexing so I came up w/ this work around. But It has many flaws so I'm looking for a better way. Thx in advance.
'Open sql connection SqlConnection1.Open()
Dim datareader2 As SqlClient.SqlDataReader datareader2 = cmdFindRowsWithKeyword.ExecuteReader Dim strMsg As String Dim intRowToFlag As Integer Dim strRowsToGet As String Dim strKeywordAsTyped As String Dim strKeywordAllCaps As String Dim strKeywordAllLower As String Dim strKeywordFirstLetterCap As String Dim FirstLetter As String
'Assign keyword as typed to variable strKeywordAsTyped = txtSearchFor.Text 'Assign keyword as typed to variable then convert it to all uppercase strKeywordAllCaps = txtSearchFor.Text strKeywordAllCaps = strKeywordAllCaps.ToUpper 'Assign keyword as typed to variable then convert it to all lowercase strKeywordAllLower = txtSearchFor.Text strKeywordAllLower = strKeywordAllLower.ToLower 'Assign keyword as typed to variable then convert it so just the first letter is in uppercase strKeywordFirstLetterCap = txtSearchFor.Text FirstLetter = strKeywordFirstLetterCap.Chars(0) FirstLetter = FirstLetter.ToUpper strKeywordFirstLetterCap = strKeywordFirstLetterCap.Remove(0, 1) strKeywordFirstLetterCap = strKeywordFirstLetterCap.Insert(0, FirstLetter)
'If the string contains the keyword as typed in all caps all lowercase or w/ the 1st letter in caps then flag that row. If strMsg.IndexOf(strKeywordAsTyped) <> -1 Or strMsg.IndexOf(strKeywordAllCaps) <> -1 Or strMsg.IndexOf(strKeywordAllLower) <> -1 Or strMsg.IndexOf(strKeywordFirstLetterCap) <> -1 Then

i am tring to create the full text catalog I am following the direction at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189520.aspx but on the last command it gives me an error
'PK_problem' 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.
also I tried the wizard in the managment express but it does not have a option when I right click on the table for Full-Text Index
I created a new catalog and a new index but when I start a search the grid come back empty I didnt insert any data into the table until after I created the catalog and index I dont think it has indexed the data yet. How do I force this or make it???? I have another example where I inserted data and then created the catalog and index and did a search and the proper rows came back but then I inserted new data and searched on a keyword that should have brought it up but nothing showed?
Hi, I have a SQL statement that works great when I don't use a SQL Parameter, but when I do it just takes the @Searchfor as literal text "@SearchFor" instead of the string @SearchFor represents. Any ideas? Below is the two versions of the sql statements sqlComm.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@SearchFor", strSearchFor)); sqlComm.CommandText = "SELECT RANK, intID, chTitle, chDescription " "FROM FREETEXTTABLE( tblItems, *, 'ISABOUT("+ strSearchFor +" WEIGHT(1.0))') a " + "JOIN tblItems b on a.[KEY] = b.intID ORDER BY RANK DESC; ";
sqlComm.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@SearchFor", strSearchFor)); sqlComm.CommandText = "SELECT RANK, intID, chTitle, chDescription " + "FROM FREETEXTTABLE( tblItems, *, 'ISABOUT(@SearchFor WEIGHT(1.0))') a " + "JOIN tblItems b on a.[KEY] = b.intID ORDER BY RANK DESC; ";
I have a Full-text search that is being performed on a variable (@Description) see part of querie below: WHERE (CONTAINS([Description], @Description) This search only seems to work when a text fo 3 or greater characters is used Ball, but not for "an" or "a". it also does not search on part of a word i.e. "Gard" of "Garden" Two things: 1) How do I perform the CONTAINS search for part of a word or "a". 2) How do I perform a search that returns all values, when I leave the input feild blank it returns no records. Many thanks in advance

I have implemented Full text search in my web application. I am using sql server 2005 database. I used “contains “Keyword for full text search. These are syntax as given below: CONTAINS ( { column | * } , '< contains_search_condition >' ) < contains_search_condition > ::= { < simple_term > | < prefix_term > | < generation_term > | < proximity_term > | < weighted_term > } | { ( < contains_search_condition > ) { AND | AND NOT | OR } < contains_search_condition > [ ...n ] } My search gives correct results according to AND NOT and OR. But, it is not working if I used AND. Please give me solution. Its very urgent for me……
full text indexing Hi, In SQL Server 2005, if I set full text indexing enables in column MyDesc and 1. use “Select * from MyTable where MyDesc LIKE ‘%abc%’� would this be using full text indexing? Or have to use Contains to get it be in use? 2. Once I create the full-text index, should I be setting it to populate periodically? Isn’t it populating itself?
