Hi,
I want to run queries on a table that has binary fields in it. How do I
filter on a binary field? E.g. One of the fields is called
'Account_Manager_ID' which is binary - I would like to do a simple Select *
from company where Account_Manager_ID = 'blah blah blah'
When I do this, it returns no data. How do I get round this?
Thanks!
I would like to search a table for a phrase, or for a partial phrase,eg on table product - for name or description, or name + descprition.How does one say select * from product where name + description like%phrase%or contains phraseCurrently I can get where name, or where descriotion like %phrase%,eg, where name like krups, or where description like coffee makerBut if I search for where name like %krups coffee maker% i get noresults. krups is in the name field, coffee maker is in thedescription field.Thanks,-M
View 1 Replies View RelatedHas anyone worked with storing alphanumeric passwords as binary fields in databases? I have worked up the following command to convert an NVARCHAR field to a BINARY type and it seems to work fine.
UPDATE USERS SET USERPASS=CAST(CAST('TEST' AS NCHAR(5)) AS BINARY) WHERE USERID='USER1
But, I can just as easily convert it back to NVARCHAR and obtain the password with this command:
SELECT CAST(CAST(USERPASS AS NCHAR(20)) AS NVARCHAR(20)) FROM USERS WHERE USERID='USER1'
I guess my question is how can I encrypt the password to make it more difficult to convert back to NVARCHAR?
In the code sample below, case eLABEL, eENGUNITS works ok. The target SQL field is defined as varchar(50).
The second section is not so happy. It is attempting to write to an SQL field defined as binary(2)
Executing an SQL script to excercise this line results in error:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'foreign'
where 'foreign' is the name (FieldDef.sFldName) of the SQL field being written.
The c# code composes the following command:
"UPDATE " + acPointType + " SET " + FieldDef.sFldName +
" = @data_params WHERE VEC = '" + acVECName +
"' and name = '" + acPointName + "';";
What is the proper syntax for the second case set?
Code Snippet
case vcidatatype.eLABEL:
case vcidatatype.eENGUNITS:
{
byte[] bbuff = new byte[512];
bbuff = rdr.ReadBytes(FieldDef.iLen);
vciSqlCommand.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@data_params", SqlDbType.VarBinary));
vciSqlCommand.Parameters["@data_params"].Value = bbuff;
break;
}
case vcidatatype.eFIDADR:
case vcidatatype.eLANADR:
{
byte[] bbuf = new byte[512] ;
bbuf = rdr.ReadBytes(2);
vciSqlCommand.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@data_params", SqlDbType.Binary));
vciSqlCommand.Parameters["@data_params"].Value = bbuf;
break;
}
I've done some simple sql's for searching a field using Like,But this one is different.
I am adding a param named @searchText
I would like to bring back all records in all the fields listedbelow that has that string in the field...
WHERE a.manufacturer = b.manufacturerIDAND a.location = c.locationIDAND a.Status = d.statusIDAND a.EquipmentType = e.IDAND a.calLab = f.ID AND a.testTechnology = g.id AND (c.locationID = @location OR @location = 0)
So, each line/field above I want to search for the string and includein the dataset.
Anyone can point me in the right direction?
Thanks,

I have 2 tables.
Clients
Contacts (multiple contacts for one client)
I'm trying to do a search that pulls a contacts where the search matches either the First Name, last Name or the clients name. If it does return clients, I'd like it to also return all the contacts associated with it.
I have two problems:
1. The query is not bringing up a lot of clients. In many cases a letter brings nothing back. Like G and H even though A and B return results.
2. If it finds a client it only returns one contact. I'd like it to return all contacts for the client.
Here's my query:
SELECT addressbook.clientid, clients.clientname, addressbook.addressid, addressbook.fname, addressbook.lname FROM clients, addressbook where clients.clientid = addressbook.addressid
AND (addressbook.fname LIKE
'".strtoupper($_GET['txtsearch'])."%' OR addressbook.lname LIKE
'".strtoupper($_GET['txtsearch'])."%' OR clients.clientname LIKE
'" . strtoupper($_GET['txtsearch'])."%')
Does anyone know how to write a stored procedure that will search through every field of every table of every table of every database to look for a specific data that matches a certain pattern and return the database, table, and field name?
Thanks
I apologize for the newbie sort of question, but I could not find an answer in an SQL book nor via Google.
I wish to search for a text string in ALL fields of a table. This will be used to provide a simple search box in a web application.
So far, the only method I've found to accomplish this is follows:
SELECT *
FROM Inventory
WHERE SerialNumber LIKE '%searchstring%' OR UserName LIKE '%searchstring%' OR Location LIKE '%searchstring%' ... etc
My goal is to accomplish something like the following. This, of course, does not execute properly since * can only be used following SELECT, but you can get an idea of the target behavior:
SELECT *
FROM Inventory
WHERE * LIKE '%searchstring%'
I'm using MSDE with Visual Basic .Net. Any suggestions on how to accomplish this?
Thanks for all help,
Kieran

Server is SQL 2000
I have a table with 10 rows with a varbinary column
I wish to concatenate all the binary column into a single binary column and then write that to another table within the database. This application splits a binary file (Word or PDF document) into multiple segments (this is Column2 as below)
example as follows
TableA
Column1 Column2 Column3
aaa 001 <some binary value>
aaa 002 <some binary value>
aaa 003 <some binary value>
aaa 004 <some binary value>
aaa 005 <some binary value>
desired results in TableB
Column1 Column2
aaa <concatenated value of above binary columns>
I'm using a bit-wise comparison to effectively store multiple values in one column. However once the number of values increases it starts to become too big for a int data type.you also cannot perform a bitwise & on two binary datatypes. Is there a better way to store the binary data rather than int or binary?
View 9 Replies View RelatedHi, 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.
I'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?
Thanks
I have just started using SQL Server reporting services and am stuck with creating subreports.
I have a added a sub report to the main report. When I right click on the sub report, go to properties -> Parameters, and click on the dropdown for Parameter Value, I see all Sum and Count fields but not the data fields.
For example, In the dropdownlist for the Parameter value, I see Sum(Fields!TASK_ID.Value, "AppTest"), Count(Fields!TASK_NAME.Value, "CammpTest") but not Fields!TASK_NAME.Value, Fields!TASK_ID.Value which are the fields retrieved from the dataset assigned to the subreport.
When I manually change the parameter value to Fields!TASK_ID.Value, and try to preview the report, I get Error: Subreport could not be shown. I have no idea what the underlying issue is but am guessing that it's because the field - Fields!TASK_ID.Value is not in the dropdown but am trying to link the main report and sub report with this field.
Am I missing something here? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

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?
would you use sql server "full text search" feature as your site index? from some reason i can't make index server my site search catalog, and i wonder if the full text is the solution. i think that i wll have to you create new table called some thing like "site text" and i will need to write every text twice- one the the table (let's say "articles table") and one to the text. other wise- there is problems finding the right urlof the text, searching different tables with different columns name and so on...
so i thought create site search table, with the columns:
id, text, url
and to write every thing to this table.
but some how ot look the wrong way, that every forum post, every article, album picture or joke will insert twice to the sqr server...
what do you think?

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.
I have Sql server 2005 SP2.

select * from testtable where contains(description,'"Exting*"') ;

Is it an issue with sql server 2005?Please help.
