I'm not trying to do anything too fancy; given a string, I just wanna see if anything in the column of my database matches the string. I'm using an SQL query that takes a string, then selects the data using LIKE %searchword%.
This works fine when the user enters only one word. But I guess you can see that a problem arises when they enter more than one word.
So how can I implement a very simple search that will take more than one word?
Here's my table:
----------------------------
News
----------------------------
ID | Headline | Article
----------------------------
I want the user to be able to search for keywords in articles. Here's my stored procedure:
CREATE PROCEDURE sproc_GetNewsSearch
(
@keyword varchar(50)
)
AS
SELECT Headline, Article
FROM News
WHERE Article LIKE '%' + @keyword + '%'
This will work fine if I search with one word. If I enter "zebra", it will find the articles containing "zebra".
The problem is when I search for more than one word. If I enter "monkey zebra", it won't search for articles containing "monkey" and "zebra", it will look for "monkey zebra".
How can I fix that?
Hi,
I'm thinking of implementing a rudimentary Data Dictionary for a database using extended properties to store table and column descriptions.
Does having this information for every table and column in a database (200 tables; 2000 columns) cause any (negative) impact on database performance? I'm guessing it shouldn't but want to make sure before implementing this in the production environment.
Thanks,
Smitha
How to implement a universal search in my site And it must be give result precised up to 90%.
Scenario is like that whenever customer come to our site he/she can search for example: Car parts
My Table structure is like below:
Column 1 Column 2 Column 3 Column 4 column 5 column 6 (Keyword)
Toyota camry 2000 wheel ABC123 Toyota camry 2000 wheel abc123
Toyota camry 2000 wheel cover 123 Toyota camry 2000 wheel cover 123
Now i have created a full text search index on column 6(keyword)
so whenever someone search exactly describe in column 6 it gives result
For ex: if i search (Toyota Camry wheel) with CONTAINS Option
Select * from mytable where Contains
(Keyword,'Toyota and Camry and wheel')
It gives me rows which contains Toyota Camry wheel and other rows which having wheel cover also. So i get multiple rows. Because of we have very large table which contains data in millions its not to feasible to have that thing.
another thing is :
if i search (Toyota Camry wheels) with CONTAINS Option
Select * from mytable where Contains
(Keyword,'Toyota and Camry and wheels')
It won't give any result back to me which is embarrassment for me. Because customer can search anything so if its not giving result its bad impression.
Also i tried to use FREETEXT option but it gives result in combination of all this word which i searched. so its huge amount of data in result.
Hi, Im trying to create a simple search page to return a list of products from a table in a sql database. Id like to be able to search a product description column in a table I have called products using the contents of a text box. I was wondering how i can go about getting the search to check for all words the user types in rather than just a single word or an exact phrase. Im currently using the following sql query
SELECT [product_title], [product_description] FROM [products] WHERE ([product_description] LIKE '%' + @product_search + '%')
this works fine for single words and exact phrases but if i had product called 'fred w bloggs' and i enter 'fred bloggs' it will not return anything.
Please could anyone suggest how i shoud go about this?
Im not sure if my web hosting company will enable full text search or will this be required?
Thanks for any help!

Hi all I need to implement a search function in Asp.net. Its nothing complicated, just find out whether a value exists in a particular table and return a boolean accordingly. However, the table has about 300,000 records. Is simply querying the table from the web (SELECT barcode FROM tblProducts where ID=123) the best way considering the releant column has been indexed.Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks

As you can
see I need all occurrences of word Red and word Red* but I don’t need *Red or

I've made a simple .net search page which queries an sql database with the following query, (in a stored procedure):
SELECT Category, Number, RegisteredUser, DeptName, Surname, Forename, Site, IDFROM tblTelephonesWHERE (@surname IS NULL OR Surname LIKE @surname) AND (@site IS NULL OR Site = @site) AND (@deptname IS NULL OR DeptName LIKE @deptname)
This works fine, as expected if i leave fields null or enter an exact match, but I (of course) have to add a wildcard in my search string for a wildcard search. For example, looking for 'duncan' i need to enter 'du%' or 'duncan'.
What I really want is for all searches to have wildcards behind them so only the first few characters need be inputted, and I could just search for 'd' or 'dun' without adding the '%' to get 'duncan'. I think I am aware of the implications of this approach and do want to go ahead as there are only about 850 records.
Any help or links to useful articles would really be greatly appreciated.
This question probably applies to Visual Web Developer but I don't know if it belongs in this Forum or that, sorry if you have to move it.
Hi there kind person reading this
I've created a stored procedure in SQL2000 that selects records where (name = @name) AND (site = @site). It works as I have tested it with Enterprise Manager.
I have also created a page with VWD that has a drop-down list populated with the site records and a text box. I have put an SQL data source on the page that is configured to select from the stored procedure. However, I can't set the @name and @site variables to collect from the ddl and txtbox through the wizard! I've tried selecting a Control as the source for @site but neither the ddl or txtbox appear in the control dropdown list. So I want to crack it with handwritten code.
Does anyone know of a post or article that can help me link the ddl and txtbox to a search button, which calls the stored procedure with the chosen variables allowing me to put the returned data into a gridview? I've been through a great walkthrough for VWD (Student Activities) but it doesn't seem to apply to the latest version - or there's something wrong with my (seems fine though) instalation. Thanks if you can help, I owe you a

Hello,
I have a search form in an ASP.NET/VB page. The form has the input text box and the button "search". The keywords are passed in the URL to results.aspx.
Here is an example of what I get in the URL, when I write the keywords "asp", "book" and "london" in the input text box and click "search":
results.aspx?search=asp%20book%20london
The database table has 3 fields: "id", "title" and "description".
I want to display all the records where at least one of the keywords is found in any of the 2 fields "title" and "description".
1. I suppose I need to get the words out of the URL to be used by SQL.
Maybe: string[] searchString = request.queryString("search").split('search'); ???
How can i make this run when page loads? I supose i need it. Right?
2. How should the SQL look? I supose i need to use the "Like" command
SELECT * FROM books WHERE title LIKE ...
But how to I use it if I can have 1, 2, 3, ... keywords?
Can someone help me?

How to Implement scd type 1 and 2 functionality using DTS.

I have about a half-dozen insertion tasks that depend on a condition: SQLServerProcessDate == OLEDBprocessDate. If the task executes early, old data gets inserted and needs to be backed out later on. (This happens about two-three times a month.)
The jobs start at 8:00 PM, but on occasion processing runs late. In order to make the task intelligent enough to not insert old data, I've thought of a couple options:
1.) Separate scheduled job runs continuously, comparing process dates. When the dates match, it sends a message to the other jobs. Pro: less repetitive. Con: another scheduled job?!? I'll have to learn the message queue task; a little bit complex; flood of database activity on message reception may slow system down
2.) Compare the dates in each individual task; if they're not the same, sleep for a while (15 min.) Pro: simpler. Con: I haven't found any way to pause/sleep/wait a task based on a condition; repetitive functionality in multiple tasks
Any opinions on which is the better choice?
I am writing my own SSIS package host and I want to create custom logging and event trapping in the host. My goal is to reroute logging calls to the patterns and practices logging block and control the logging destinations using the config file.
Here is an excerpt of code from my main method of the host:
// recurse through all DtsContainers in package
//and enable logging, set filter kind to Exclusive, and clear filter list
ConfigureLogging(package);
// LoggingEventHandler inherits from Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.DefaultEvents
LoggingEventHandler eventHandler = new LoggingEventHandler();
// LoggingBlockLogger implements IDTSLogging
LoggingBlockLogger logger = new LoggingBlockLogger();
DTSResult result = package.Execute(null, null, eventHandler, logger, null);
The behavior I am looking for is that regardless of what logging providers are configured in the package, all the providers will be bypassed and all logging will be passed through my custom LoggingBlockLogger class. However, I find that if there were any providers configured in the package, they are being passed logging events. I tried returning 'false' from LoggingBlockLogger.Enabled, and I'm returning an empty array from LoggingBlockLogger.GetFilterStatus().
I followed the stack trace from the point of entry into the package log providers and found that they were being called directly from ManagedWrapper.Log. Why are the package providers still being called? What is the purpose of the IDTSLogging interface if every container simply passes log entries to the providers in its LoggingOptions.SelectedProviders collection?
Thanks!!!
We're trying to implement an audit mechanism to track all changes made to our database and would appreciate any suggestions or alternate ways to do this, we're using the regular trigger based approach.
We also need to capture the user name of the current logged in user - this is NOT the sql server database user, it is at the application level, the user who logs into our site. We were planning to pass this username using context_info in SQL SERVER through triggers as described here - http://www.sqlservercentral.com/columnists/spustovit/easyauditingasharedaccount.asp
Alternatively I could add a userId field to every BC and store the logged in user's name there but I'd rather avoid that.
Hi there, I am a little confused with some data ideas in .NET 2.0.
First, I now understand there are profiles for storing per-user information (such as address, etc). Now, each of my users will have say an inventory of equipment, that they can edit, add, etc. However I am not sure if using just regular tables would be better. Any suggestions?
Also, I understand using the profiles does not let you use things such as the DetailsView control, which would allow for automatic editing, adding, deletion, etc. This would be very nice to have, rather than implementing it myself.
If this is the case, how do I associate the new database with the ASPNETDB database? For example I will have a table in my new database that has columns [UserId, EquipmentName, Quantity, Description]. Now how do I get the logged in user's user ID to display only their equipment in a GridView say?
Thank you very much!

I am working on a project where I want to implement service broker. A lot of the examples that I have seen are all based on T-SQL. Here are my questions.
1. I have a web page that allows a user to type in an order. How do I put a message on the queue using a .NET assembly? Is there some sort of API set? Do I just pass the message to a stored procedure that puts the message on a queue?
2. Are there any samples that illustrate how to read messages off a queue using a console application or windows service? Is it possible to read the messages off of the queue with a console application or do you have to subscribe to the queue activation event and write a service program that runs under the control of service broker? All of the data that I need to fill the order has to come from a DB2 database on the mainframe. Therefore, I am stuck with creating an external application that processes the messages.
3. In order to use Service Broker, do I have to install Notification Services as well?
Hello,
I have a group that is custom made on the table's grouping expression, something like
=SWITCH(Fields!Country.Value="Portugal",IIF(Fields!Storetype.Value="Frs","Portugal Frs", "Portugal"),
Fields!Country.Value="Italy","Italy",Fields!Country.Value="Spain","Spain",Fields!Country.Value="United States","United States",
Fields!Country.Value="Internet","Internet",Fields!Country.Value<>"","Other")
The thing is that i order this by my value, and then i use a column that is the rowcount, but sadly i got
11 Portugal
19 United States
30 Spain
How can i do this like
1 Portugal
2 US
3 Spain
Is there something like in C ++1 or something that increments a number depending on the line of the table that is in?
Thank you
Hi,
I am working on one application, which retrieves data from multiple tables in the database and all the fields retrieved, are exported as an excel sheet. All the export functionality is done through DTS. And the data is retrieved using an SP.
I am supposed to use an "incremental backup" approach here. Means, for the 1st scheduling of the package, all the database dump will be there in excel file. But, after that only fields that are updated/inserted are to be filled in the excel file. Each time, when the dump of the database is taken, the excel file is stored in an archive folder with Date and tiemstamp(e.g. TEST_11_04_2007_15_00_00.xls)
e.g. For the first dump, I get 100 records from the database. Before next execution of the package, 10 rows get inserted and 1 row gets updated. So, on the second time execution of the package, I should populate the excel sheet with those 11 rows only, and not 110 records.
I am not authorised to change the database schema.
So, is there any approach to try out this?
Dear Colleagues,
How do I install a Microsoft SQL Server 2005 database application in an existing server in an existing database server and still have the control over it and also restrict the new server Admin user from editing or even opening my DB. Any modification of my database or code should be implemented only by me. Is it possible to remove the Builtin Admin from the server role?? As in my case, there is no need for anyone else to open the DB in Management Studio at all as my VB application does all that is required.
Thanks and best regards,
