I have a table search the record. The user can search by name, id, status, address and other information.
I want to make the search function more robust. For example, when the database has a record with name = "Michael Jackson", either typing any subset of the name will show this record.
I would like to know if there is any easy way to implement this with VS2005 and SQL2005 Express.
Thank you
Hi all,
I've been using a piece of transact code to generate random strings of characters in a lot of scripts and I wanted to wrap it up all nice and neat into a function. I came up with the script below.
However, this fails with the following error..
quote:Invalid use of 'rand' within a function.
I've allready tried using dynamic sql and sp_executesql inside the function hoping that a new scope would let me use rand() but that isn't allowed either.
I'm Using sql server 2000. Any ideas?
Charlie.

Hi,
I want to implement site search in my application, I got the solution of searching the static content, but most of the pages in my application is content based(content is coming from database at runtime), so those content I am not able to search from database.
While searching about the same, I got information about Full Text search (FT) in SQL Server 2005, but whether it will work in SQL Server 2005 Express or not?
I didnt get exact steps to implement FT on my database so far....
Any help?
Hi Guyz
it is taken from SQL2K5 SP2 readme.txt. Anyone have idea what to do to implement this ?
Our sp2 is failing. we suspect the above problem and researching it.we are running on default instance of SQL2K5 on win2003 ent sp2
"When you apply SP2, Setup upgrades system databases. If you have implemented restrictions on the ALTER DATABASE syntax, this upgrade may fail. Restrictions to ALTER DATABASE may include the following:
Explicitly denying the ALTER DATABASE statement.
A data definition language (DDL) trigger on ALTER DATABASE that rolls back the transaction containing the ALTER DATABASE statement.
If you have restrictions on ALTER DATABASE, and Setup fails to upgrade system databases to SP2, you must disable these restrictions and then re-run Setup."
thanks in advance.

Hi All,
Here's my problem:
I create titles and submit them for approval. Once approved I can edit them again and either save them or submit them for approval again.
My problem is:
When I am creating a title and saving it in the drafts and searching for the title, I am able to find it in the result page. This is before approval.
When I submit the same title for approval and it's approved and then I change the title and save it as draft and then search the new title I cant find it. But when I search with the old title it shows me the result but with the new title name.
When I check the db and search for the new title no records found.
When I check the db and search for the old title the system returns me the record with the same old name.
So when I search the old title in the db it returns the old title.
So when I search the application for the new title it returns the old title.
Help Appreciated!

Now I need to populate the GridView to display the result, based on the input of the textbox... So if only the "SongTitle" have input, it will search for the Song Titles on the database... if the Artist is searched, then it will return the artist... If both text boxes have value in them, then it need to check for both fields in the database and return the correct item... For the "Artist", I have 2 columns in the Database (originalArtist and performer), so for the Artist select statement, it need to check both columns on the table, if any of them match then it will return the item.

Hi,
How to search the last occurance of one String in to another string..Using function PATINDEX() in a column of data type Text..
plz Give some solution i really need it ...
Thanks Yogesh
The 'LIKE' function looks for words that start with whatever is in the like condition. Is there an sql function similar but will look and compare at any part of the search string.
For example I am using a webservice in dot net to populate a dropdown list using this sql
SELECT compound_name FROM dbo.compound_name WHERE compound_name like @prefixText
In this table there is a compound called SILCAP310 and I would like the search function to pick up 310 if I put this into the @prefix parameter. (but I would still like the search to perform like the 'LIKE' does also.
SELECT compound_name FROM dbo.compound_name WHERE compound_name like @prefixText or compound_name SearchPartString @prefixText
Thanks in advance

Hi all,
I have a search function in my website, which is fully functionable.
But currently, this is the issue that I am having problem with.
For example:
I have only the name 'John' in my database.
When the user search for 'John Tan', no results is shown as there was no such name in the database
But if this happens, I want 'John' to be always returned and shown, no matter what 'John' the user search - E.g "john tan", John Loh", john wee"
So, how do I go about doing this? I have done some research on how to go about doing it, what I found useful was the .Replace() function. However, I can never predict in advance what user is going to key in.
Any help is welcome as this is a rather pressing problem of mine. Thanks for all the help in advance!!!
Hi All!!!
I was tasked to come up with a search function and the content of the database given to me is in Chinese Characters. This would be my first time dealing with Chinese characters in the database and I need help with the following problem:
The company wants to conduct the search in such a way that, instead of having the system read the entire sentence/phrase which the user keyed in as a SINGLE string, they want the Chinese Characters to be accessed individually, so that as long as any information in the database contains any one of the characters which the user have entered, they will be retrieved and returned.
So how do I go about doing this? Does it have anything to do with Unicode? By the way, everything abt the search tool is working fine, I am just left with this dilemma of having the system recognise the entire sentence as ONE STRING, instead of conducting a search word by word or character by character.
Anyway, the following is the SQL statement of my SQL Data Source which is bound to a Gridview displaying the returned results after a search is done...1 SELECT Name, Trans, Address1, Address1T, Address2, Address2T, City, CityT, CRPLID
2 FROM CRPL
3 WHERE (Trans LIKE '%' + @Trans + '%') OR
4 (Name LIKE '%' + @Name + '%') OR
5 (Address1 LIKE '%' + @Address1 + '%') OR
6 (Address1T LIKE '%' + @Address1T + '%') OR
7 (Address2 LIKE '%' + @Address2 + '%') OR
8 (Address2T LIKE '%' + @Address2T + '%') OR
9 (City LIKE '%' + @City + '%') OR
10 (CityT LIKE '%' + @CityT + '%')
Thanks for all your help in advance!!!
Hi Everyone-
i woder if someone know Built in function to search the occurence of char in string in T-SQL
and iam not talking about the Index of the first occurence (e.g CHARINDEX )
but it is more generic
i want to send to the function to ask about the index the second or the third or N occurence of the char.
and i wonder if it is built in for performance reasons
example
getseachIndex("M|d|d","|",2)==> the result is 4

I wanted to implement mirroring
I hereby let u know the steps
1. Created a database in Principal server named Mirror1 and one table named tblMirror1.( no values inside the table)
2. Repeated the same in Mirror in Witness
3. Selected the Principal server's database -->right click-->tasks-->mirror
4. from the left hand panel selected Options -->recovery model-->full
5. selected Mirroring from left hand panel-->configure secuirty-->entered mirror and witness name--Success
6. When I click on start mirroring I have an error stating
" Alter failed for database mirror1"
"Database mirroring cannot be enabled because Mirror1 database may have bulk logged changes that have not been backed up etc...."
7. followed this one
BACKUP database mirror1 TO DISK='C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLBackupmirror1_FULL.BAK'
got the answer as
Processed 160 pages for database 'mirror1', file 'Mirror1' on file 2.
Processed 1 pages for database 'mirror1', file 'Mirror1_log' on file 2.
BACKUP DATABASE successfully processed 161 pages in 0.318 seconds (4.147 MB/sec).
According to sources
Run a restore of this backup on your mirror.
This can be done through the GUI or using a T-SQL command.
The database restore must use the NO RECOVERY option, so the database stays in a loading state.
Also the database name on the mirror must be the exact same name as the principal
RESTORE TestMirror FROM DISK='C:Backup TestMirror_FULL.BAK' WITH NORECOVERY
Hence did the below
RESTORE database mirror1 FROM DISK='C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLBackupmirror1_FULL.BAK' WITH NORECOVERY
ERROR
Msg 3201, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot open backup device 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLBackupmirror1_FULL.BAK'. Operating system error 2(The system cannot find the file specified.).
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
HENCE MODIFIED AS
use master
go
RESTORE database mirror1 FROM DISK='C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLBackupmirror1_FULL.BAK' WITH NORECOVERY
Msg 3201, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot open backup device 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLBackupmirror1_FULL.BAK'. Operating system error 2(The system cannot find the file specified.).

My report is taking long time to display hundered of records.So we want to display 15 records per page and Next page link at the end of report.Please help me how to do this.
Hi - I'm short of SQL experience and hacking my way through creating a simple search feature for a personal project. I would be very grateful if anyone could help me out with writing a stored procedure. Problem: I have two tables with three columns indexed for full-text search. So far I have been able to successfully execute the following query returning matching row ids: dbo.Search_Articles @searchText varchar(150) AS SELECT ArticleID FROM articles WHERE CONTAINS(Description, @searchText) OR CONTAINS(Title, @searchText) UNION SELECT ArticleID FROM article_pages WHERE CONTAINS(Text, @searchText); RETURN This returns the ArticleID for any articles or article_pages records where there is a text match. I ultimately need the stored procedure to return all columns from the articles table for matches and not just the StoryID. Seems like maybe I should try using some kind of JOIN on the result of the UNION above and the articles table? But I have so far been unable to figure out how to do this as I can't seem to declare a name for the result table of the UNION above. Perhaps there is another more eloquent solution? Thanks! Peter
View 3 Replies View RelatedOur clients want to be able to do full text search with a single letter. (Is the name Newton, Nathan, Nick?, Is the ID N1, N2...). Doing a single character full text search on a table work 25 out of 26 times. The letter that doesn't work is 'n'. the WHERE clause CONTAINS(full_text_field, ' "n*" ') returns all rows, even rows that have no 'n' in them anywhere. Adding a second letter after the "n" works as expected.
Here is an example
create table TestFullTextSearch (
Id int not null,
AllText nvarchar(400)
)
create unique index test_tfts on TestFullTextSearch(Id);
create fulltext catalog ftcat_tfts;
[Code] ....
I have a scenario of where the standard Full-Text search identifies keywords but Semantic Search does not recognize them as keywords. I'm hoping to understand why Semantic Search might not recognize them. The context this is being used in medical terminology and the specific key words I noticed missing right off the bat were medications.
For instance, if I put the following string into a FT indexed table
'J9355 - Trastuzumab (Herceptin)'
AND
'J9355 - Trastuzumab emtansine'
The Semantic Search recognized 'Herceptin' and 'Emtansine' but not 'Trastuzumab'
Nor in
'J8999 - Everolimus (Afinitor)'
It did not recognize 'Afinitor' as a keyword.
In all cases the Base of Full-Text did find those keywords and were identifiable using the dmvsys.dm_fts_index_keywords_by_document.It does show the index as having completed.
why certain words might not be picked up while others would be? Could it be a language/dictionary issue? I am using English and accent insensitive settings?
I am using Visual Studio 2005 & SQL Server. How do i implement a DDL for users to select which value to input. like i can with Access. i do not need a table i think. if not the table would have only ID & Value.?
