I am running a DB with 250Gb of documents, the fulltext index just keeps growing and growing. The files in the MssearchCatalogDir folder is currently taking up 106Gb, it was only 74Gb this morning. The full text catalog size property says its only 53.6Gb and this is remaining steady while the files in the MssearchCatalogDir folder seem to be balloning out of control. I ran a reorg on the fulltext catalog and it did not alter the file space (actually increased it).
There is one *.ci file that is doing most of the growing, its about three times as big as the second biggest one and is expanding before my eyes.
Should I have turned population off when I did the reorg?
Manamgement studio has an Optimize catalog option on the fulltext catalog properties dialog, is this different from a fulltext catalog reorg? Should I run this.
Should I run a shrink file on the filegroup containing the fulltext catalog (the filegroup itself is very small, all the space is in the MssearchCatalogDir folder)?
I have 140Gb left on this drive, is it just going to keep on expanding until I'm out of room, I just dont know what I should do.
Abit more info.....
I was rebuilding the index from scratch (needed to move it to another filegroup).
When I first started the rebuild, msftesql.exe and msftefd.exe were both taking alot of cpu and the overall cpu usage was high. Now after 12 hours, only msftesql.exe is running and is taking up 5-10% cpu. Could it be that the rebuild is not complete yet? Although the Item Count property of the full text catalog does seem to indicate that all documents have been processed, the processes keeps running and disk space keeps going down.
Disk space is increasing at an alarming rate (about 500MB a day). Shrink of database seems to have no effect. It is a queueing table so data is inserted then a few minutes later it gets processed & deleted.
I'm trying to determine how much space I would need for my data drive and log file drive to do index rebuild. I have a database which is 100gb, it is in simple recovery mode. let me know what to have a look at to determine how much space.

Hello all,I'm wanting to do a CONTAINS query on fields that belong to two seperate tables. So, for example, this is what I'd *like* to do :SELECT ci.itemNameFROM Content_Items ciINNER JOIN Content_Pages AS cp ON ci.contentItemId = cp.contentItemIdINNER JOIN FREETEXTTABLE(Content_Items, (ci.title, cp.pageText), @searchString) AS ft ON ci.contentItemId = ft.[KEY]However, this will not work, since SQL Server won't let you do fulltext queries against more then one table.So my idea is to create a view that combines my Content_Items table with the desired column from my Content_Pages table. I would then create a fulltext index on this view, and do fulltext queries against it.It seems like this should work. However, when I try to create a fulltext index on my newly-created view, I get this error :A unique column must be defined on this table/view.How do I create a unique column within a view?Also, will my approach work, or will it have unintended consequences? I'm using this as part of a search component in my software, so it has to perform reasonably well.
Hello, i have a database with about 300.000 entries. The database gets about 30 new entries every day. The Database has an FulltextIndex on several columns. This FulltextIndex will be updated every night. But now i have found out, that the fulltextsearch doesn't work anymore for all entries that where added after April 2006. When i for example make following sql-statementSELECT id,date FROM MyTable WHERE (CONTAINS((columnA),' "mykeyword" '))
i only get results that have a date after April 2006 (although there are matching entries after that date). What can the reason for that be? According to Management Studio the last Update of the FulltextCatalog has been made on 1st of December 2007. Everything looks normal and I didn't find any logs that are saying that there has been any errors. Where do I have to look to be sure if the FullTextIndex does work?

SQL Server 2005: Anyone know how best to rewrite this SQL string to perform a weighted search on my table? here's my code: SQL="SELECT RecipeName FROM recipeList WHERE FREETEXT(*,'ISABOUT " & ing01 & " WEIGHT (.1) or " & ing02 & " WEIGHT (.2) or " & ing03 & " WEIGHT (.3) or " & ing04 & " WEIGHT (.4) or " & ing05 & " WEIGHT (.5)')" the idea is to get a list of recipes most pertinant to the ingredients entered. table 'recipeList' contains the ingredients in several columns. so column 2 might say '5oz of flour', column 2 - '2oz butter' etc.
at the moment it returns the correct recipes but not in the right order. If I use 'CONTAINS' it returns nothing. hope that's not too vague!

I just tried to backup a database I recently deployed to to SQL Server 2005 box, and got the following error:
The backup of full-text catalog 'myCatalog' is not permitted because it is not online. Check errorlog file for the reason that full-text catalog became offline and bring it online. Or BACKUP can be performed by using the FILEGROUP or FILE clauses to restrict the selection to include only online data.
I don't need the index so I tried to drop it with both:
DROP fulltext catalog 'myCatalog'
and
DROP catalog 'myCatalog'
but both give me a syntax error.
How can I get rid of this index so I can backup my database?
We are designing a scenario in which we will have a central publisher and several subscribers in a server to server environment using Merge replication. We also will have a fulltext index for one of the tables being replicated and synchronized. What are your recommendations for the index? Would auto change tracking reduce the impact? We are building for a possible 1 billion row table but do not anticipate more than 100K rows at any time of replication.

Our production DBs are SQL Server 2000(Enterprise Edition) on Windows2003. Can anybody tell me how can I check whether a table has a FullText Index or not?
I have a problem restoring a Read-Only filegroup in a database. I've restored the Read/Write filegroups first without any problem.
Then, I am able to recover Read-Only filegroups which do not contain fulltext indexes with the command : RESTORE DATABASE GSM FILEGROUP = 'FG_RO_20080214' WITH RECOVERY
However, for filegroups containing FullText indexes (Fulltext indexes are in the same filegroup as data used for this index), I always get the following error :
Server: Msg 3149, Level 16, State 6, Line 1 The file or filegroup "sysft_CAT_SM_20080127" is not in a valid state for the "Recover Data Only" option to be used. Only secondary files in the OFFLINE or RECOVERY_PENDING state can be processed. Server: Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
If I'm looking at sys.database_files catalog view, I can see the following name type_desc state_desc ------------------------ ----------- ----------------- sysft_CAT_MS_20080127 FULLTEXT RECOVERY_PENDING
For demonstration I created a fulltext index on table employee in Northwind database.
The following query gives an error:
SELECT * FROM employees WHERE CONTAINS (FirstName, 'Barbe')
Replacing 'Barbe' by 'Barb' or other words it works fine.
The error message is (I have a french version of SQL installed, here the translation: "A clause in the query contains only ignored words" Une clause de la requête ne contient que des mots ignorés)
Language for wordbreak in fulltext index is French and the error happens only with French, with English it works.
How can i enable my fulltex change-tracking and update-index in my table? I recreated my fulltext catalog and start the full population, but although my fulltext index status shows active, my full-text change-tracking and the update index were disabled. - and I don't know how to enable them. Thanks in advance
I am using SSIS to replace set of tables daily. One of the table has primary, unique, foreign keys and full-text index. Before truncating, I am dropping the foreign key constraints (to truncate the parent table), truncating the tables and recreating the foreign keys.
I have few questions:
1) Do I need to drop and recreate the unique key as well? (I am not dropping the primary key) - Unique key is identity column created just for the full-text indexing since it was mentioned that key on integer is better than key on varchar and my pk is a varchar.
2) Do I need to drop and recreate the full-text index or just rebuild/repopulate it every time the table is loaded.
This is the first time i am using full text index and I was able to learn a lot about it from the sites. I would like to understand the correct approach while loading the tables.
We have a table that is Full Text Search index enabled on one column.This table has 200 lakhs of rows(20000000) . ContainsTable() function is searching data with in these 200 lakhs of rows(20000000), if any new rows are inserted then the ContainsTable is not going to search in these recent inserted rows.
We observed when we try for a data to search. it is returning the rows till the rows that are inserted date is less than 30th of march 2012. but not searching in the records that are created after April month , if even the data we are searching is available .
TableFulltextItemCount is around 2.2 crores.
Then we done rebuilt the FT catalog Index. then the TableFulltextItemCount became 0.Again we run the containstable query ,but still it is not getting results.
As the no of rows are very more . so i am not able to show the actual rows from which the data is not coming.
the below query gives 2 results that are from actual base table
HTML Code: select * from g_case_action_log where cas_details like '%235355%' and product_id = 38810
To search for the same above word using FTS,I have used the query as below
HTML Code: SELECT Distinct top 50 cal.case_id,cal.cas_details From g_case_action_log cal (READUNCOMMITTED)inner join containstable(es.g_case_action_log, cas_details, ' ("235355" OR "<br>235355" OR "235355<br> ") ') as key_tbl on cal.log_id = key_tbl.[key] Where cal.product_id = 38810 ORDER By cal.case_id DESC

Hello I need to setup a compaq sever with 300 MB database, and will be adding around 600 records on a daily basis. Can someone help with how much disk space i should have on sqlserver, providing i have c: and d: setup.
I have a server and it has C: D: F: I: Drives and all the system files are on C:Drive and and all the .MDF's and .LDF's(model,temp,master) are on the F: Drive and now I am running out of space on both(C: and F: Drives)
1. Can we add space to the C: and F: drives on the fly?. 2. Can I move the System databases ( MDF's and LDF's to some other drive)and if so, how do I do it?( Moving the databases ) and this is on the production database so when I have to do this.Will there be any impact.
I noticed something strange today. I was running a query using query analyzer on a large database (8.8 million records) and the disk space on the c: drive was dropping and eventually went to 0. Availalbe space on the c: drive is 10GB. The query did complete. SQL server and all the databases are on the d: drive. After closing the query results in query analyzer the disk space returned. Is this a concern and is there a way to change it to use the d: for whatever it is doing?
This is my first attempt using SQL 2000 and DTS. I am importing an Access database using the DTS wizard. The process fails with a "Not enough space on temporary disk" error. There is definitely enough space on the physical disk. I don't have any limits on any folder sizes either. What "disk" is the error talking about, and how do I give it enough space. The database is relatively small, about 10MB. I believe the database was created using Access 97. Please help.
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:

We recently moved from v6.5 to v7.0. Now I have the databases and logs set to "autogrow". How can I monitor the disk space to ensure I do not run out of room (or is that preset as to how large it can grow ?). Can't find anything in the books online. Do I do this through the NT admin tool or through the SQL*Server Enterprise Manager and more importantly - how ??? Thanks so much for any help... Nancy
I'm trying to save a dts package and it keeps coming back with insufficient disk space. I noiticed that db MSDB was full so I manually increased the size. It was set to manually grow at 1 mb increments. But for some reason it didn't look like it was doing that so I manually increased it. Right now this is about 355 MB free so that should be plenty to save a package. But its still coming back with the same error insufficient disk space to complete operation. Any ideas on why or why it didn't grow on its own? Please help I can't seem to save any packages.
Our database -SQL Server 7.0 sp1 (NT 4.0 sp5)- is growing at a very fast rate despite the fact that we are deleting old record. It doesn't seem to be recovering disk space for the deleted records. Please let me know if there is a specific setting that can help us recover disk space. )
Hi, I'm new to these forums (and to SQL Server), so please be gentle with me.
I am developing a process to obtain information on all our remote servers/databases, and store it in a single local database. I'm after things like db size, last backup date, free drive space etc...the usual weekly statistics.
I've linked the remote servers to my local one, and have written a few simple procedures (which exist on the local server) to grab backup and file size information from the remote tables. The output is stored locally in tables which we can then query as necessary.
I am having difficulty obtaining the free drive space details. I'm using :- 'exec <remote_server>.master.dbo.xp_fixeddrives' to get the info, but I cannot store the output in a table on the local server. (remote_server_name, date, drive_letter, space_mb)
I wish to avoid creating any objects on the remote servers if at all possible. I really want to pass the remote server name into the procedure, and the output to be inserted into the table.
I have 600 instances on my network .... I need to monitor the Disk Space ... how should I do that I mean the best way for this would be ???
By Disk Space I mean the SQL Instance should atleat have 10% of free disk space ... If it is less , maybe an alert can be sent or something of that sort .
Now it would be a pain configuring alerts on each machine.
