View 5 RepliesI've a database with a table that has 16 columns that are searchable. There can be a numerous combination of those columns used for searching...
In this case the best solution is to create an index on each column individually or at least the most used?
I'm trying to create a query that searches an entire database for keywords inside of the columns for each table within the database. For instance my tables have 2 columns one named ID and the other Permission, I'd like it be able to return all the lines that are associated with that keyword. So if I search "Schedule" it returns all the lines containing that word in it within that database.

I have a table that contains words that will be used to search another table where FullText index has been created on searchable columns. I'm basically trying to run something like this:
SELECT t1.col1, t2.col3
FROM tbl1 t1, tbl2 t2
WHERE CONTAINS (t1.col1, t2.col1)
I know this won't work but is there a way to join these two tables so the words (t2.col1) can be passed as search conditions? There is no common key on both tables so normal join won't work. I'm trying to find a way to pass the search words from one table to another.
So I have been trying to get mySQL query to work for a large database that I have. I have (lets say) two tables Table_One and Table_Two. Table_One has three columns: Type, Animal and TestID and Table_Two has 2 columns Test_Name and Test_ID. Example with values is below:
**TABLE_ONE**
Type Animal TestID
-----------------------------------------
Mammal Goat 1
Fish Cod 1
Bird Chicken 1
Reptile Snake 1
Bird Crow 2
Mammal Cow 2
Bird Ostrich 3
**Table_Two**
Test_name TestID
-------------------------
Test_1 1
Test_1 1
Test_1 1
Test_1 1
Test_2 2
Test_2 2
Test_3 3
In Table_One all types come under one column and the values of all Types (Mammal, Fish, Bird, Reptile) come under another column (Animals). Table_One and Two can be linked by Test_ID
I am trying to create a table such as shown below:
Test_Name Bird Reptile Mammal Fish
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Test_1 Chicken Snake Goat Cod
Test_2 Crow Cow
Test_3 Ostrich
This should be my final table. The approach I am currently using is to make multiple instances of Table_One and using joins to form this final table. So the column Bird, Reptile, Mammal and Fish all come from a different copy of Table_one.
For e.g
Select
Test_Name AS 'Test_Name',
Table_Bird.Animal AS 'Birds',
Table_Mammal.Animal AS 'Mammal',
Table_Reptile.Animal AS 'Reptile,
Table_Fish.Animal AS 'Fish'
From Table_One
[Code] .....
The problem with this query is it only works when all entries for Birds, Mammals, Reptiles and Fish have some value. If one field is empty as for Test_Two or Test_Three, it doesn't return that record. I used Or instead of And in the WHERE clause but that didn't work as well.
Hi everyone

Hi ,
If asked to find all the columns across tables which contains any NULL or blank value then what could be the best approach ?
I am sure there must be a way other than checking each column of each table .
Can anyone help me out in this .

Is it possible to put a set of columns into a select statement using "in"
For example:
select count(*) from table1 where (col1, col2, col3, col4) in (select a.col1, a.col2, a.col3, a.col4 from table1 a where........)
This is possible in this form for Oracle and DB2 but I cannot get it to work in Sql Server.
Any ideas?
I have a DBTable named Vendors which includes the following columns: CompanyName (Name Here)
SBI (Yes, No)
MBE (Yes, No)
SBI (Yes, No)
WBE (Yes, No)
I'm trying to do a search on Vendors where either SBI or MBE or SBI or WBE is equal to 'yes' and then order by company name.
I'm lost on both the search and the results code.
I'd like to have a drop down for the search like this:
<form name="Search" action="vendor_results.asp" method="post">
<Input type=hidden name="validate" value=1>
Show all Vendors who are: <Select name="?????">
<OPTION value="YES">SBI
<OPTION value="YES">SBE
<OPTION value="Yes">MBE
<OPTION value="Yes">WBE
</select>
<Input type="submit" Value="Go">
</form>
Any ideas on how to make this work would be greatly appreciated.

What is the most efficient way to write an SP to tackle all kinds of combinations here (where a user could give any search input).I know this must be fairly common to come across this situation.I have written an SP which will take in all the parameters and based on "IF" statements and using "LIKE" in SQL, this SP returns search results.But I wanted to know if there was more efficient ways of doing this, as you can imagine you might end up having several combinations of IF conditions.

Hi,
I have two tables
Table Source
{
category varchar(20),
LastUpdate datetime
}
Table Destination
{
SubjectId varchar(20),
SubjectDate datetime,
category varchar(20),
LastUpdate datetime
}
Please note that the number columns are different in each table.
I wanted to dump the data of Source table to Destination table. I meant to say that the rows of 2 columns in Source table to last 2 rows of Destination table.
And also my oreder of the columns in Destination table will vary. So i need to a way to dynamically insert the data in bulk. but i will know the column names for sure before inserting.
Is there anyway to bulk insert into these columns.
Your quick response will be appreciated

I have a business need to create a report by query data from a MS SQL 2008 database and display the result to the users on a web page. The report initially has 6 columns of data and 2 out of 6 have JSON data so the users request to have those 2 JSON columns parse into 15 additional columns (first JSON column has 8 key/value pairs and the second JSON column has 7 key/value pairs). Here what I have done so far:
I found a table value function (fnSplitJson2) from this link [URL]. Using this function I can parse a column of JSON data into a table. So when I use the function above against the first column (with JSON data) in my query (with CROSS APPLY) I got the right data back the but I got 8 additional rows of each of the row in my table. The reason for this side effect is because the function returned a table of 8 row (8 key/value pairs) for each json string data that it parsed.
1. First question: How do I modify my current query (see below) so that for each row in my table i got back one row with 19 columns.
SELECT A.ITEM1,A.ITEM2,A.ITEM3,A.ITEM4, B.*
FROM PRODUCT A
CROSS APPLY fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM5,NULL) B
If updated my query (see below) and call the function twice within the CROSS APPLY clause I got this error: "The multi-part identifier "A.ITEM6" could be be bound.
2. My second question: How to i get around this error?
SELECT A.ITEM1,A.ITEM2,A.ITEM3,A.ITEM4, B.*, C.*
FROM PRODUCT A
CROSS APPLY fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM5,NULL) B, fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM6,NULL) C
I am using Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 version. Windows 7 desktop.
Here is My requirement, I'm not sure if this is possible. Creating table called master like col1, col2 col3, col4 , col5 ...Where Col1, col2 are updatable - this can be done easily
Col3, col4 are columns in another table but these can be just a read only ?? Is this possible ? this is possible with View but not friendly with share point CRUD...Col 5 is a computed column of col 2 and col5 ? if above step can be done then sure this can be done I guess.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm just wonder if this is a bug in MS Search or am I doing something wrong.
I have a query below
declare @search_clause varchar(255)
set @Search_Clause = ' "hepatitis b" and "hepatocellular carcinoma"'
select * from results
where contains(finding,@search_clause)
I don't get the correct result at all.
If I change my search_clause to "hepatitis" and "hepatocellular carcinoma -- without the "b"
then i get the correct result.
It seems MS Search doesn't like the phrase contain one letter or some sort or is it a know bug?
Anyone know?

I'm in the process of converting legacy DTS packages to SSIS. I need to populate a table that has more fields than the source file. In DTS I did this with an ActiveX script. How do I go about doing this within SSIS.
In the ActiveX script most of the fields were defaulted with either spaces or zeroes.
One of the Destination fields needs to be incremented by 1 for each new record inserted.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

I want to search in fulltextindexes for multiple searchterms in multiple columns. The difficulty is:
I don't want only the records with columns that contains both searchterms.
I also want the records of which one column contains one of the searchterm ans another column contains one of the searchterms.
For example I search for NETWORK and PERFORMANCE in two columns.
Jobdescr_________________________|Jobtext
Bad NETWORK PERFORMANCE________|Slow NETWORK browsing in Windows XP
Bad application PERFORMANCE_______|Because of slow NETWORK browsing, the application runs slow.
I only get the first record because JobDescr contains both searchterms
I don't get the second record because none of the columns contains both searchterms
I managed to find a workaround:
SELECT T3.jobid, T3.jobdescr
FROM (SELECT jobid FROM dba.job WHERE contains(jobdescr, 'network*') or CONTAINS(jobtext, 'network*') ) T1
INNER JOIN (SELECT jobid FROM dba.job WHERE contains(jobdescr, 'performance*') or CONTAINS(jobtext, 'performance*')) T2 ON T2.Jobid = T1.Jobid
INNER JOIN (SELECT jobid, jobdescr FROM dba.job) T3 ON T3.Jobid = T1.Jobid OR T3.Jobid = T2.JobId
It works but i guess this will result in a heavy database load when the number of searchterms and columns will increase.
Does anyone know a better solution?
Thanks in advance Bart Rouw
Hello,
I have an SQL database with a table. This table has two fields: [Title] and [Description].
In my web site I have a text box where the user inserts some keywords, as follows: 1 > book english 2 > book AND english 3 > book OR english
Is it possible to create an SQL procedure which looks which records have the words "book" and "english" in the fields [Title] or [Description]?
And is it possible to somehow also use the words "AND" and "OR"?
I never did something like this and I just would like to create a simple search in my web site which looks into my documents table.
Thank You Very Much,Miguel
