This index files are created in my hidden folder. Now, my problem is,
1) Is this files associated with Full Text Search.
2) when the file will be created.
3) For what purpose, this files are stored.

This files are generated durin full text search.
now i have doubts regarding this,
1) Can we referrence this files directly
2) Where it will be located in our system?
3) is it loaded for each Full Text Index we created for the table.
4) How this file are used in Full Text Search.
Hi I have a .net 2 website that works from a sql 2000 db. I am building a form that will allow the user to type in any search criteria and based on their input I need to produce some results (that’s the simplest way to put it)I will need to search various parts of my db to find similar sounding information, I was just wondering what is the best way to do this. I had the following thoughts1) Search columns using Soundex tsql function (but not sure how good this is?)2) Remove all noise words from user input (eg, and, or, the etc...) and then use a regular expression to search the fields in the dbAlternatively are their some third party components to do can do this for me Many thanks in advance
does anyone have code that shows how to separate individual words from a sentence.
e.g. i have a list of questions and answers in my database and have the following query for it:
SELECT question, Answer
FROM QuestionsAnswer
WHERE FREETEXT(Question, 'i want to travel around the world and learn about cooking')
so i want to extend the above query so that takes each key word (travel, cooking, learn) to find out how frequently that particular word appears in the question (for ranking purposes).
I know freetexttable does rank results, but they don't seem accurate enough for what i need to do.
HELP!!!
I have created a stored procedure which should accepts a search friendly string to be used in a free text search. I am using
DSPerson AS FT_TBL INNER JOIN CONTAINSTABLE (DSPerson, [FiftyWords], @FiftyWords ,50 ) AS KEY_TBL ON FT_TBL.PersonID = KEY_TBL.[KEY] WHERE FT_TBL.PersonID != @PersonID ORDER BY KEY_TBL.RANK DESC
Now the problem here is that the parameter @FiftyWords should be able to accept a string such as
'"Love" OR "Hate" OR "Customer Service"'
Notice the start and end of the query with single quotes and concepts should be between double quotes. Now this works OK inside SQL Query Analyzer, but try to get this right building such a string within ASP.NET and passing it as a parameter to SQL. In SQL profiler it comes out all weird with more quotes than originally built on asp side (errror obviously). Furthermore, I can't find an escape sequence that comes out right on the SQL side.
Any ideas of how to fix this??
Hello,
I have an address search on my website which is free text, so you could type in either a postcode or an address, examples would be:
"L1 3GB""Oxford Road""Oxford Road London""Oxford Road, London" - note the comma
At the moment I have a sproc (see below) which works if a user types in just a postcode, e.g. "L1 3GB" or just a street name, e.g. "Oxford Road", but if a users types in "Oxford Road London" or "Oxford Road, London" my search will return no data.
Can anyone advise how I can make my query work more effectively and work with more than just the most basic of input data?
Thanks Marco
SELECT Upper(Postcode) as 'Postcode', Upper(Address1) as 'Address1', Upper(Address2) as 'Address2', Upper(Address3) as 'Address3', Upper(Address4) as 'Address4', Upper(Address5) as 'Address5'FROM PostcodeWHERE (Address1 = @address) OR (Address2 = @address) OR (Postcode = @address)
I've got a free text index on a table that is taking 15-30 % of processing becuase there is a lot of insert activity on this table at the moment.
I know the indexer backs off if the server gets busy - or so the theory goes.
Is there a way for me to tell it to take more of a back seat?
Anyone have any recommendations on how to bring together a search across multiple tables? Like I'd love to do a search where i searched for the product name, company name or tag all in one query (though all are in separate tables)... is that possible? Individually, it's easy, but combined it's very hard.
View 3 Replies View Relatedis it possible to use a full-text search query on two tables at the same time? for example, say i have a table of items, and another table of descriptions... would i be able to search both those tables for a string in one query? they are currently in indexed in separate catalogs, would i need to put them both in one?
thanks
Hi
I have a new client with an existing system that has just over 2 million business listings in one table. Each business listing is associated with one business category.
* Company Table (around 20 fields):
companyID
companyName
categoryID
state
postCode
etc.
* Category Table (5 fields)
categoryID
categoryName
etc.
We are using MSSQL 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services
A free text search needs to be performed on the companyName and categoryName limited by region (state and or postcode).
1) What kind of response times should I expect for the free text search (I have not used the free text search before)
2) How should I index the companyName and categoryName so they are both used in a joined query? i.e. Do I just configure the free text search index on each field separately and it should work?
Any suggestions appreciated.
Best Regards
Kevan

First of all I’m new to MS SQL, I did work with mySQL
Table name db (real db has 12 columns)
Id c1 c2 c3
1 tom john olga
2 tom john olga bleee
I enabled full text index on all columns
Problem when I do search like this:
SELECT * FROM db WHERE CONTAINS(*,'�tom� AND “john�')
It will return only one row (id 2) – I understand that the full text search does look only at one column at a time because it did not return row #1
Anyway I thought that I can add extra column c4 and when user enters new data it will save data from columns c1, c2, c3 to c4 (varchar(750)) and then I will do search only on c4 – this way it will work the way I want.
1) Is there any better way to do this?
2) How do I sort results by “rank� with SQL
Hi guys,
What should I do in order to make a Full Text Index / Catalog and then using the Contain predicate?
Thanks in advance,

Hello,
My full-text search isn't working at all! I have a temporary table with full-text indexing enabled where files are scanned for social security numbers. If it has one, the user will see a message that it believes it's found a SSN and won't upload it. There is only ever one row in this table, as we overwrite the contents upon each upload.
I'm testing this search, and it doesn't work. The table has the following columns:
attachemtId (int) - primary key
fileContent (image) - contents of the file
fileExtension (varchar) - extension of the file (this is always either ".pdf" or ".doc")
I created a .doc file that simply says "ssn", and then run the following query:
SELECT * FROM TempAttachment
WHERE CONTAINS(fileContent,'ssn')
and nothing is returned! I tried the same thing with a .pdf file, and same results.
I'm not sure if this is related, but earlier I had this issue where I had to reset permissions for the directory. I've tried removing the full-text index and adding it again, but that didn't do anything. I also checked error logs on the server, and there were no messages. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!
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
I have attached one sql script file for your ref that contains create logic and index schema properties
Why it is not returning results all the time.
On Sql Server 2005 Standard if I insert a new row into SomeTable that has a full-text index:
insert SomeTable(keywords)values('this is a test')
and then query:
SELECT * FROM Message WHERE Contains(keywords, ' "test" ');
I get the expected rows all rows that have "test" in the keyword.
On Sql Server 2005 Express new rows are not returned unless I rebuild the catalog.
Is this a known limitation of Express?

Can anyone show me how to upload a pdf file to SQL 2005 and perform a Full Text Search on it and to extract record based on a word in the pdf. I have looked all over the web and I couldn't get any thing working as mentioned in other forums. Please mail me a small example if possible on salman.anwar@wmich.edu ASAP.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a data table in my project that has a "text" (not varchar) field in it. I am trying to load this field with little paragraphs of text for showing on my pages. How do I get the free text loaded into the table? The database explorer and all the data grid controls cut the text off at one line. There doesn't seem to be any way to get multiline text into this table.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am new to mssql server. There is a table on one of my databases that occupies a lot of space. And the space usage is as follows: (all values in KB)
reserved: 42329064
data: 16272288
index: 26050032
unused: 6744
This table takes up almost 80% of my database size, and the information is this table just captures the time spent by a user on the website(not very critical data)
I would like to know how to delete the entire index (which is what is occupying most space) to free up disk space. the index is a clustered index.
I hope i'm in the right place, but thanks anyway....
Actually i have 2 questions (regarding sql-server Indices/Keys):
1) I have an index, which is consisted of 4 columns.
I've read elsewhere that this index functions (as well) as an index (single column
index) on the first column of this multi-column index.
Does this mean that if i'd like to have (in addition) Indices on all of the 4 columns
seperately i need to define only 3???
2) I have a unique key consisted of multiple columns.
I'd like to save an index to this combination of columns as well (to speed up
things in DB...).
Does the definition of a multiple-columns key free me from defining the multiple-
columns index???
can anyone explain the main diference between Keys and Indices???

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

I have a parameter that get his available values from a query.

Thanks,
Our 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 tempdb split into 4 files (5 if you include the log).
Autogrowth is disabled on the mdf/ndf files so that they can be used round robin (1 file per logical CPU).
Is there a way to be alerted when there is x% of free space left?
I know hwo to check the free space via t-sql but want to be able to be alerted. I could run a sql job that reports the free space and send a database mail message if under x% but wondered if there was a built in (or better) method?
I also have SQL Sentry.
SQL 2012 Standard
Dear friends
I need to report the amount of free space in each datafile of a database.
I have tried sys.dm_db_file_space_usage , but the documentation says that it only works for the TempDB.

Hey. I've a table with about 18 columns Many of the queries which are made on this table include 4 or 5 columns in the where clause and thesame query has 5 or 6 of the other columns in the select clause. Somebody has created about 11 indexes, 1 for each column...In essence the query would look like this
select col1,col2,col3,col4,col5
from table1
where col6=100
and col7='test.exe'
and col8 = 'helloWorld'
I am thinking the index should be built on all 8 of this columns in SQL 2000. Also, in SQL 2005, I know I can use included columns for this but can someone tell me what columns should the non-clustered built on and which cols should be included? Thank you.
Please help me to create an SQL Server 2000 Stored Procedure for using prefix and suffix terms.
Example:
Say I want to find "Terminator" (1984).

Here is my Stored Procedure creation sql:
CREATE PROCEDURE sps_searchTitles(@searchTerm varchar(255)) AS
SELECT * FROM Video
WHERE FREETEXT (Video.*, '"*@searchTerm*"')
GO
--- The above does not appear to properly check both prefix ("Term---") and suffix ("---ator") terms.
I am trying to accomplish what is similarly done with LIKE '%term%'.
