Hello, I have read on the multiple places that filter for full text search of PDF files using FTS2005 is included in the Reader 8 etc. However, I have not found any document or instruction etc on adobe documents, microsoft documents or web that details on how to actually configure the filter. Please help. thanks Kumud
Search option in the filter of SSRS, like in the filter let say for the category parameter we have 100 values , instead of scrolling down for the required option. can we have an option for search in the filter so that when we type certain value it will come up for example in the Google website, when we type the value in the search bar in the drop down we will get the option..same as that...........can we do in the ssrs.
If yes how can we achieve? Do we need to write any .net code?
One of my models has order data, cost per order/invoice ID and then dimensions on Fiscal Year, category, etc...the usual.
A user wanted to search it for an exact order amount. (They knew for example that one of our accounts was not balancing by single order worth $746.13 and assumed it must be an order that was placed but never marked shipped that slipped through the cracks).
Now, in the model I have "order amount" as a field and then a measure that sums that.
I could expose that "order amount" field as a label and let them filter on it in Excel (and that works).
However, I haven't had any luck filtering on the actual measure "Total Order Amount". Such as OrderID-> View Filter -> "Total Order Amount" equals 746.13.
I assume this is due to a few things:
Measure calculates at different levels so filtering on a measure is difficult as you would have to place all the "slicers" and set them first before the measure would "exist" at a level where it could be $746.13. Orders by year would have $746.13 as part of it's year sum, but wouldn't exist as a stand alone line item orders by year 2015 might be 2 million.Â
Orders by category might exist at 500,000, 8,000, 15,146.36, etc... but not $746.13.
So I would need OrderID on there as a column so the measure could return at the value of $746.13 for one row for it to match the filter?
Basically: 1. Why it can't really filter on a measure? 2. Is there a better way to accomplish this other than exposing the actual column in the fact table "order amount" as it feels like that could cause all kinds of confusion if other users try to slice/filter on that not realizing exactly what it is meant to be?
I am trying to do a freetext filter with mutiple columns using a column list, but I can't get the syntax down for multiple column list. First, am I am going about this the right way...Do I need to be doing both? Second why doesn't mutiple columns work. I can't find any good samples online. What I am trying to accomplish is a refined search stored procedure that uses the freetext to do the search refinement. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, I was wondering if any SQL Server gurus out there could help me...I have a table which contains text resources for my application. The text resources are multi-lingual so I've read that if I add a html language indicator meta tag e.g.<META NAME="MS.LOCALE" CONTENT="ES">and store the text in a varbinary column with a supporting Document Type column containing ".html" of varchar(5) then the full text index service should be intelligent about the language word breakers it applies when indexing the text. (I hope this is correct technique for best multi-lingual support in a single table?)However, when I come to query this data the results always return 0 rows (no errors are encountered). e.g.DECLARE @SearchWord nvarchar(256)SET @SearchWord = 'search' -- Yes, this word is definitely present in my resources.SELECT * FROM Resource WHERE CONTAINS(Document, @SearchWord)I'm a little puzzled as Full Text search is working fine on another table that employs an nvarchar column (just plain text, no html).Does the filter used for full text indexing of html expect certain tags to be present as standard? E.g. <html> and <body> tags? At present the data I have stored might look like this (no html or body wrapping tags):Example record 1 data: <META NAME="MS.LOCALE" CONTENT="EN">Search for keywords:Example record 2 data: <META NAME="MS.LOCALE" CONTENT="EN">Sorry no results were found for your search.etc.Any pointers / suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Cheers,Gavin.UPDATE: I have tried wrapping the text in more usual html tags and re-built the full text index but I still never get any rows returned for my query results. Example of content wrapping tried - <HTML><HEAD><META NAME="MS.LOCALE" CONTENT="EN"></HEAD><BODY>Test text.</BODY></HTML>I've also tried stripping all html tags from the content and set the Document Type column = .txt but I still get no rows returned?!?

VS2008 Express, SQL Server CE 3.5 SP2, Windows Forms desktop application
My code is like this:
SqlCeCommand command = new SqlCeCommand(); SqlCeConnection connection = new SqlCeConnection(@"Data Source=|DataDirectory|MyDBCE.sdf"); connection.Open(); command.CommandType = CommandType.Text; command.Connection = connection; string cmd = @"CREATE TABLE MyTable( Id int NOT NULL, Name nvarchar(50) NOT NULL, X int NOT NULL, Y int NOT NULL)"; command.CommandText = cmd; command.ExecuteScalar(); connection.Close();
This code does not throw any error, so I presume it is doing something correctly. However, after the application finishes, there is no table MyTable in this database. If I run this code once again, it doesn't say that table MyTable already exists, so it does not exist.
Can someone tell me how to create a table in SQLCE ?
I came across a frustrating bug last week. Basically, whenever I tried to execute almost any sql query with unnamed parameters (i.e. using "?" instead of "@param_name" in the SQL text), an exception would be thrown.
After trying lots and lots of things and navigating my way through the internals of System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll, I discovered that the method System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeCommand.CreateParameterAccessor(...) has a bug.
The bug is that the private arrays "parameters" and "metadata" are ordered differently, yet at one point in CreateParameterAccessor(...) they are compared using the same index. Here are the two lines: p = this.parameters[ i ]; and MetaData info = metadata[ i ] and then the column data types of "info" & "p" are incorrectly compared in a later method, ValidateDataConversion(...).
So take a step back... how are they ordered differently? From observation, I concluded the following: The "parameters" array is ordered exactly in the order that the DbParameter's were added to the DbCommand object. The "metadata" array is ordered according to the column order of the table in the database.
So what causes the exception? Well, CreateParameterAccessor(...) passes data types from two different columns (one type taken from parameters[ i ] and the other from metadata[ i ]) on to SqlCeType.ValidateDataConversion(...). And, of course, if they differ (e.g. one column is of type DateTime and the other is a SmallInt), an exception is thrown. I've found two workarounds, and both seem to work well. The first is to name the SqlCeParameters (e.g. "SELECT ... WHERE id=@id"). This causes the buggy branch of code to be completely bypassed.
The second is to add the SqlCeParameters in the exact same order as the columns exist in the table you are accessing. Note, I do *not* mean the order that you select the columns (e.g. "SELECT column1, column2, ..."). I mean the actual order of the columns in the database.
I've included my setup and a stack trace below to help if it can.

This is not something that I have been able to reproduce in our shop. I even take their database and run it here in our shop with out such errors. Does anyone know some possible causes for this error?
Sorry, I don't have more info to give becuase this is all I have to work with since I cannot reproduce in our shop. If the exception object exposes a property for the HResult, I would be able to provide that.
I use SQL Server 2005. I have approx. 50 tables in my database and 30 of them have a filed named "CompanyID". Example: create table A (ID int identity, NAME varchar(100), COMPANYID int)create table A (ID int identity, REF_ID int, FIELD1 varchar(100), FIELD2 varchar(100), COMPANYID int)
Also there are nearly 200 stored procedures that read data from these tables. Example: create procedure ABCasbegin /* some checks and expressions here ... */ select ... from A inner join B on (A.ID = B.REF_ID) where ... /* ... */end;
All my queries in the Stored procedure does not filter the tables by CompanyID, so they process the entire data.
However, now we have a requirement to separate the data for each company. That means that we have to put a filter by CompanyID to each of those 20 tables in each query where the tables appear.
Firstly, I put the CompanyID in the context so now its value is accessible through the context_info() function. Thus I do not need now to pass it as a parameter to the stored procedures.
However, I don't know what is the easiest and fastest way to filter the tables. Example:
I modified the above mentioned procedure in the following way: create procedure ABCasbegin /* some checks and expressions here ... */ -- gets the CompanyID from the context: DECLARE @CompanyID int; SELECT @CompanyID = CONVERT(float, CONVERT(varchar(128), context_info())) select ... from A inner join B on (A.ID = B.REF_ID) where ... and A.COMPANYID = @CompanyID and B.COMPANYID = @CompanyID /* ... */end;
Now I have the desired filter by CompanyID. However, modifying over 200 stored procedures is rather tedious work and I don't think that this is the best approach. Is there any functionality in SQL Server that can provide the possibility to put an automatic filter to the tables. For example: when I wrote "SELECT * FROM A", the actual statements to be executed would be "SELECT * FROM A WHERE CompanyID = CONVERT(float, CONVERT(varchar(128), context_info()))".
I was looking for something like "INSTEAD OF SELECT" triggers but I didn't manage to find any answer.
I would very grateful is someone suggests a solution for something like "global table filter" (that will help me make an easy refactoring)?
I have a table that has a group. In this group, I want to filter by 2 different expressions, concatenated with an OR. BUT I can't change the "And/Or" column value for the first entry because it is grayed out. The column will automatically change to an OR value if both my expression column fields are the same (which I don€™t want) but if I put any other value in to the expression field of the second row, the "And/Or" field of the first row automatically changes to an AND.
PLEASE! How do I get the And/Or field "ungrayed" so I can change it to what I want?
The 2 filters I and using check the UserID = to the user, and the other is checking a count to get the Top N 1. (So just showing the current user and the top producer)
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
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;
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. I enabled it for Full Text search. Substring search where i enter *word* doesn't return any row. I have a table testtable where description has word Extinguisher.
If i run a query with *ting* it doesn't return any row. select * from testtable where contains(description,'"*xting*"') ;
But it works if i do select * from testtable where contains(description,'"Exting*"') ;
The Full text search document says it supports substring search. Is it an issue with sql server 2005?Please help.
I am using Sql Server 2014 Express edition.I have a table with a varchar(max) column. I have created a full text search that use the stoplist "system". column has this struct: xxx.yyy.zzz.... where xxx, yyy, zzz... are numbers, like 123.345.123123.366456...I can have rows like that:
select * from Mytable where contains(MyColumn, '123.345.')
I gues the contains would return all the rows with column contains 123.345, but this does not return all the expected rows, only one row.I have tried to replace "." with "-" but the result is the same.I have also tried with '123.345.*. In this case I have got more results, but no all the exptected rows.If I use this query:
select * from MyTable where MyCOlumn like '123.345.%';
I'm building an exception management system into my application. What are the most common errors when working with a DAL and a SQL server. The biggest problem can be Database connection. My questions: * Are all SQL related errors catched by the SqlExeption class? * Which are the most common sql errors?

I just inherited a Java application with a fairly complex data modelthat does not yet have any indexes except those on primary keys. It isstill in development and before I get to do any performance testing Iwant to put some default indexes on it. I realize that this a veryvague request but it's better than nothing so I want to start withthose that are generally a good idea and then tune those areas thatrequire more fine grained approach. By the way, I'm mostly a Javaprogrammer so please forgive my DB ignorance and I thank you for anyhelp.Since the full schema is quite large I will use a simple example (fullycited below my questions). Here is list of indexes that I think wouldbe a good idea. If anyone can add to it or comment on my questions Iwould appreciate it.1. Index on primary keys in all three tables. My understanding thatthis indexing happens automatically just by declaring that a column isa PK.ALTER TABLE employees ADD PRIMARY KEY (emp_id);ALTER TABLE employee_addresses ADD PRIMARY KEY (address_id);ALTER TABLE departments ADD PRIMARY KEY (dept_id);Question: Does index get created automatically because this is a PK?2. Index on foreign keys in the children tables to prevent deadlocksand lock escalations.CREATE INDEX fk_index ON employee_addresses (emp_id)3. Indexes on common queries on all three tables.CREATE INDEX common_query_idx on employees(last_name, first_name,position)CREATE INDEX common_query_idx on departments(last_name, first_name,position)CREATE INDEX common_query_idx on employee_addresses(street, city)Question: Given that the searches can be on any field separately andin any combination should I also put an index on each columnindividually or will the composite index take care of individualsearches as well? For example, will the above indexes be sufficientfor the following SELECT:SELECT e.last_name, e.first_name from employees e, departments d,employee_addresses ea, dept_employees de WHERE e.emp_id = de.emp_id ANDd.dept_id = de.dept_id AND ea.emp_id = e.emp_id AND e.position ='master chief' AND d.dept_name = 'galactic affairs' AND ea.city='LosAngeles'4. Unique index on the association table. Again this is accomplishedusing PKALTER TABLE dept_employees ADD PRIMARY KEY (dept_id, emp_id)Question: Is the index on (dept_id, emp_id) automatic because of PK?5. The association table has to go both ways and PK takes care only ofthe first half. Thus add an index to go the other way.create unique index dept_employee_idx on dept_employee(emp_id,dept_id)Question: should I use INDEX ORGANIZED TABLE?Question: should I have UNIQUE qualifier on the second index given thatPK already takes care of it?Thanks,Robert===== EXAMPLE ======1) An employee can be in many departments and a department can containmany employees.2) Common searches for employees are on last_name, first_name,position, department_name, department_location separately and in anycombination.3) There are common searches for departments that contain certainemployees e.g. find all departments containing John Smith.CREATE TABLE employees(emp_id INTEGER NOT NULL,last_name VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,first_name VARCHAR(25) NOT NULL,position VARCHAR(10) NOT NULL);CREATE TABLE employee_addresses(address_id INTEGER NOT NULL,emp_id INTEGER NOT NULL,street VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,city VARCHAR(25) NOT NULL,);CREATE TABLE departments(dept_id INTEGER NOT NULL,dept_name VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,dept_location VARCHAR(25) NOT NULL,);CREATE TABLE dept_employees(dept_id INTEGER NOT NULL,emp_id INTEGER NOT NULL,);ALTER TABLE employee_addresses ADD FOREIGN KEY (emp_id) REFERENCESemployees(emp_id)ALTER TABLE dept_employees ADD FOREIGN KEY (emp_id) REFERENCESemployees(emp_id)ALTER TABLE dept_employees ADD FOREIGN KEY (dept_id) REFERENCESdepartments(dept_id)
