LINQ To SQL Using CONTAINS Or CONTAINSTABLE Possible?

May 12, 2008

I would like to use LINQ to generate a sql statement that does not use LIKE, but rather uses CONTAINS.  Is this possible?  If not, my second question is whether or not I can parameterize a SqlCommand that uses CONTAINS.  For example the following statement works just fine when I pass in the parameter via SqlCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue()
SELECT * FROM [event] WHERE CONTAINS(comments, @searchTerm1)
However, the following results in a variable not defined error.
SELECT * FROM [event] WHERE (comments LIKE @searchTerm1)
Any ideas?  Thanks for your help.

Help: UNION Vs. CONTAINSTABLE

Jul 8, 2007

I have n Tables: T_1, T_2, ... T_n that all have the same exact fields/columns.
Ultimately, I want to search through ALL n tables and return a single table of relevant results from all tables, arranged in order by rank.
I'm not sure if this is possible. So far, I have:
 1 SELECT RANK, field_1, field_2, ..., field_m FROM
2 (
3 SELECT RANK, field_1, field_2, ..., field_m FROM T_1,
4 CONTAINSTABLE(T_1, field_i,@searchText) searchTable
5 WHERE KEY = T_1.field_i
6 UNION
7 SELECT RANK, field_1, field_2, ..., field_m FROM T_2,
8 CONTAINSTABLE(T_2, field_i,@searchText) searchTable
9 WHERE KEY = T_2.field_i
10 UNION
11 .
12 .
13 .
14 UNION
15 SELECT RANK, field_1, field_2, ... field_m FROM T_n,
16 CONTAINSTABLE(T_n, field_i,@searchText) searchTable
17 WHERE KEY = T_n.field_i
18 )
19 ORDER BY RANK DESC

 I haven't tried it yet, but it seems wrong. How do we actually do this?

i use two containstable (one of them with 'formsof') and one freetexttable attributes in a select command and i want to combine them with the logical 'or'.can i do this in the same command? what is the syntax?my code :select table1.field1,a.rank,b.rank,c.rankfrom table1containstable(table1,field,'"word"') as aor containstable(table1,field,'formsof(inflectional(word)') as b)or freetexttable(table1,field,'word') as cwhere table1.id=a.[key] and table1.id=b.[key] and table1.id=c.[key]the above syntax is wrong. i tried ',' instead of 'or' but the results were not right. thanks

Help With CONTAINSTABLE Fulltext Query

Mar 6, 2008

 Hi,I'm doing a search function for recipe database and have the query:1 SELECT K.RANK, tRecipe.sHeadline, tRecipe.sIngredients, tRecipe.sImagePath
2 FROM tRecipe
3 INNER JOIN
4 FaktaRecipe ON tRecipe.iRecipeID = FaktaRecipe.iRecipe

8 WHERE (FaktaRecipe.iRecipeFakta = 5)
9 ORDER BY RANK DESC I want to return records like 'chicken pie' etc, hence using the wildcard in chick* BUT the wildcard doesn't work! It works fine if I use the whole word 'chicken' but of course a user won't always do that... I am using SQL server 2000. Any ideas? - I'm tearing my hair out!  Thanks,Paul

Is There A Way To Have List Of NOT Words With Containstable?

Nov 6, 2007

This works when @searchString is used in containstable (provided searchString has value)...

set @searchStringNoneOfWords = 'not(Airplane)'
SET @searchString = @searchString + ' AND ' + @searchStringNoneOfWords

This does NOT work when @searchString is used in containstable...

set @searchStringNoneOfWords = 'not(Airplane)'
SET @searchString = @searchStringNoneOfWords

I understand it is because the syntax is AND NOT, but what if I have a list of words that I do not want included? How do I start out with a NOT using containstable? It is kind of like Google's advanced search except that if you enter a word in the "without words" section with the other fields blank it would return everything under the sun except for things found with those words.

Containstable Variable Usage

Aug 24, 2006

I have a stored procedure that uses containstable and want to make it a little dynamic so I was going to add a parameter that consist of the column names that needed to be search. But when I add a variable I get an error saying incorrect syntax....

Can you not use a variable as a column list?? I have a variable for search criteria and it works fine...

Here is my syntax

containstable([tablename],@columnlist,@srch)

I have been looking online and can't seem to find anything that says I can or cannot use a variable.

Difference Between FREETEXTTABLE And CONTAINSTABLE

Apr 8, 2008

Can somebody help me in identifying the difference between FREETEXTABLE and CONTAINSTABLE statements?


I have recently started experimenting with the free text search and I feel that FREETEXTTABLE can look for the search string into multiple columns by breaking it into tokens.

For example

select ft_tbl.saon, ft_tbl.paon, ft_tbl.street, ft_tbl.postcode
,key_tbl.rank
from temp as ft_tbl
INNER JOIN freetextTABLE(temp, (saon, paon, street), '80 ridge avenue', 15) as key_tbl
ON FT_tbl.ID = key_tbl.[key]

Now in my case €œ80€? is in PAON column and €œRidge Avenue€? is in STREET column. Among the resulting rows it also displays the required row. If I try to achieve this with CONTAINSTABLE using

select ft_tbl.saon, ft_tbl.paon, ft_tbl.street, ft_tbl.postcode
,key_tbl.rank
from temp as ft_tbl
INNER JOIN containsTABLE(temp, (saon, paon, street, postcode), '80 ridge avenue') as key_tbl
ON FT_tbl.ID = key_tbl.[key]

It gives me error
Syntax error near 'ridge' in the full-text search condition '80 ridge avenue'.

If I make search string as €˜€?80 ridge avenue€?€™ instead of €˜ridge avenue€™ then it doesn€™t give me error but also displays no results because 80 ridge avenue does not appear as whole in any single column. If I search by only specifying €œridge avenue€? in search string then I get a full list where street is ridge avenue.

My question is Does FREETEXTTABLE can search in all listed column by breaking the search string into tokens and CONTAINSTABLE only in one as whole?

CONTAINSTABLE: Query Multiple Columns With AND

Oct 9, 2003

Is there a simple and direct way to perform a fulltext query in a table with multiple columns, and to use AND over multiple columns? I've noticed that AND only works within one column.

Example: Take a column 'lastname' with 'jones' and 'smith' in it. Another column 'firstname' with 'alan' where lastname=smith. Search for 'alan and smith', and no results are returned because they are in different columns. If you would have a lastname 'alan smith', that would be found.

Containstable Not Returning Accurate Results

Aug 27, 2007



Does anyone lese get the same results that I do?

tblTest has an id field and a testName field....table has 2 records:
1 kevin test 1
2 kevin test 3


SELECT *

FROM tblTest t

INNER JOIN CONTAINSTABLE(tblTest,*,'"kevin test 1"') as A ON t.id = A.[KEY]

Result is both records returned, but since the search is in quotes as an exact phrase, should not just the first record be returned?

Containstable Queries Not Making Sense.

Jan 2, 2008

I have a few questions related to using CONTAINSTABLE in a query that I hope someone can help with.

I am working on a project to add document search capabilities to my companies product using fulltext indexing. Part of this requirement is an ability to breakdown the component parts of of the search query and provide information on *why* documentX ranked higher than documentY.
This is a bit convoluted, but taking this (very simple) example - the user wishes to search for 2 skills - "HTML" and/or "XML".
The generated query looks a little like :-

Select DOC.DOC_ID, RANK1.RANK, RANK2.RANK, RANK3.RANK
from DOCS DOC
inner join CONTAINSTABLE(docs, doc, 'HTML AND XML') as RANK1 on RANK1.DOC_ID=DOC.DOC_ID
inner join CONTAINSTABLE(docs, doc, 'HTML') as RANK2 on RANK2.DOC_ID=DOC.DOC_ID
inner join CONTAINSTABLE(docs, doc, 'XML') as RANK3 on RANK3.DOC_ID=DOC.DOC_ID

This returns the "overall" rank, and a rank for the 2 component parts, so I can say this doc ranked XXX overall because it scored "rank1" for HTML and scored "rank2" for XML etc....

My question on this part is about the values for the "overall rank". If the query contained an OR it always seems to return the highest of the "rankX" values, and if it doesnt, it returns the lowest.
e.g. for the example
for java and word and excel and access - the overall ranking is 2 , java=36, word=2, excel=16 and access=36
for java and word or excel and access - the overall ranking is 16 , java=36, word=2, excel=16 and access=36
for (java and word) or (excel and access) - the overall ranking is 16 , java=36, word=2, excel=16 and access=36

So in the first example, regardless of what the other values are, the rank returned is always 2 (the score for "word"). My resultset has 100ish rows, all with a rank of < 5 for word, but all with ranks of 18-100 for the other 3 values - yet the "overall" rank always matched the "word" rank.....??
This doesnt feel right to me somehow, I would expect a different value as if the document ranked really highly for one value but low for the other, it doesnt feel right the value is clamped to the lowest? Or am I just understanding it wrong?
If I use "freetexttable" the overall rank is a little more meaningful - but unfortunately I also need to use weighting, which brings me to my next question . . .


This question is about rankings returned from the ISABOUT function.
In the following example,
select * from documents as DOC
inner join containstable(docs,doc,'project') as doc0 on DOC.DOC_ID=doc0."key"
inner join containstable(docs,doc,'ISABOUT (project weight (1.0))') as doc1 on DOC.DOC_ID=doc1."key"
inner join containstable(docs,doc,'ISABOUT (project weight (0.5))') as doc2 on DOC.DOC_ID=doc2."key"
inner join containstable(docs,doc,'ISABOUT (project weight (0.1))') as doc3 on DOC.DOC_ID=doc3."key"
inner join containstable(docs,doc,'ISABOUT (project weight (0.0))') as doc4 on DOC.DOC_ID=doc4."key"
order by doc0.rank desc

The values I get from the doc1/2/3/4.RANK columns dont seem right.
In this example,

doc0.rank = 133
doc1.rank = 150
doc2.rank = 330

doc3.rank = 924

doc4.rank = 0

These values dont make any sense to me, as the rank seems to go UP when the documentation on ISABOUT says it goes down (I think it says somewhere the calculated rank is multiplied by the weight?).
Once again, is there something I missed or am I understanding it wrong?

Thanks in advance for any help into understanding the whys of this...

ContainsTable Function Searching Only One Column Per Record

Oct 25, 2007

Hello all,

I am using the ContainsTable function to search a database from my (c#) app. This works relatively well and all fields of the table are indexed and searched. That is, any column, but per record only one column.
What I mean is this: when searching for "chris 2007", I want to retrieve all items where author contains chris and year contains 2007. Currently, a search for chris brings up all items where author (or any other field) contains chris, a search for 2007 works as well, but chris 2007 fails as there is no -one- field where chris and 2007 are located.
Can anybody help me achieve this? My code is:




Code Block
SELECT FT_TBL.ID, FT_TBL.Type, FT_TBL.Author, IsNull(FT_TBL.Author, FT_TBL.Editor + ' (Ed.)') AS CorrectedAuthor, FT_TBL.Editor, FT_TBL.Title, FT_TBL.Abstract, FT_TBL.Comments, FT_TBL.Year, FT_TBL.City, FT_TBL.Publisher, FT_TBL.ISBN, FT_TBL.Pages, FT_TBL.Journal, FT_TBL.Issue, FT_TBL.Hyperlink, FT_TBL.Tags, KEY_TBL.RANK
FROM Sources AS FT_TBL
INNER JOIN CONTAINSTABLE(Sources, *, @searchQuery) AS KEY_TBL ON FT_TBL.ID = KEY_TBL.[KEY]
ORDER BY KEY_TBL.RANK DESC;



What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,

Chris

Full Text Search And CONTAINSTABLE - Can I Weight By Column?

Aug 8, 2006

I'm trying to use CONTAINSTABLE to do a product search on a number of columns. I want matches on some columns to be weighted higher than for other columns.

It seems like there should be a way to do this with CONTAINSTABLE - I know I can search by multiple strings and weight those matches variably, but what I want is to vary the weight by which column a single term matched. What I have now is a series of UNION queries, which are quite slow:
===================
SELECT m.TitleCode, m.ShortName, m.ShortDescription, a.Rank, 50 as theWeight
FROM CONTAINSTABLE (Product, ShortName, @theSearchTerm) as a, Product m(NoLock)
WHERE a.[KEY] = m.TitleCode

UNION ALL

SELECT m.TitleCode, m.ShortName, m.ShortDescription, a.Rank, 40 as theWeight
FROM FREETEXTTABLE (Product, ShortName, @theSearchTerm) as a, Product m(NoLock)
WHERE a.[KEY] = m.TitleCode

UNION ALL

SELECT m.TitleCode, m.ShortName, m.ShortDescription, a.Rank, 30 as theWeight
FROM FREETEXTTABLE (Product, MatchKeywords, @theSearchTerm) as a, Product m(NoLock)
WHERE a.[KEY] = m.TitleCode

UNION ALL

SELECT m.TitleCode, m.ShortName, m.ShortDescription, a.Rank, 20 as theWeight
FROM FREETEXTTABLE (Product, ShortDescription, @theSearchTerm) as a, Product m(NoLock)
WHERE a.[KEY] = m.TitleCode

ORDER BY 'theWeight' DESC, m.ShortName

===================

What is the better way?

Max With LINQ

Jan 8, 2008

Hello!
I try to get a list of ConditionsVersion where Version is MAX for each ConditionsVersion.
I tried something like this (as seen on http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vcsharp/aa336747.aspx#maxGrouped):
 
1 List<ConditionsVersion> list = (from cv in ConditionsVersions2 group cv by cv.FKConditions into cv3 select new { 4 PKConditions = cv.PKConditions,5 FKConditions = cv.FKConditions,6 MaxVersion = cv.GroupBy.Max(cv => cv.Version)7 CTimestamp = cv.Timestamp8 }).ToList(); 

But it doesn't work. It would be great if someone knows why.
Thank you!

LINQ - What Do You THINK?

Nov 2, 2007

Well, just played a little bit with that new thing from Microsoft. Genius! Microsoft presented that step backwards as a step forward.

Say good bye to the 3-tier architecture, now any programmer, after 1 week training, will be able to put SELECT * into the source code. No more stored procedures and logic on a server. No more ugly WHERE clauses. Just SELECT * and pass all records in a loop :)

When I looked at the queries, generated by LINQ in SQL profiler, I noticed that they are generated automatically using the same pattern. It is obvious, of course, but now it would be really difficult to trace a problematic query back to the C# code. All updates to table X will look like as identical twins!

On the other side, it is not so bad. We will have soon a lot of projects, failing when they go to the production and face the real volumes of data. And a long queue of companies, crying and asking to save them. Perfect “job security�. Please, use LINQ! Port all your code to LINQ immediately (Laughing demonically like Dr. Evil)

Hm… a second thought, but what could we suggest to these companies, having performance problems with LINQ 3rd party applications, when there is no source code? Now we could at least modify some stored procedures, and with LINQ looks like the only recommendation could be “contact a developer of that application or buy more a powerful server�.

LINQ To SQL Question ?

Dec 30, 2007

Hullo am using Asp.Net 3.5, I want to create a usercontrol that is supported to all projects to upload file into sqlserver,
the user just give the database connection string,
tablename, column name depending upon their need, here I develop the
code using LINQ technology.
I Write a class with simple format like below,
 
using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Security;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;
using System.Xml.Linq;
using System.Data.Linq;
 
/// <summary>
/// Summary description for FILE_MASTER_INSERT
/// </summary>
//namespace Linq2Sql_demo_doc
//{
   
    [System.Data.Linq.Mapping.Table(Name = "FILE_MASTER")]
 
    public partial class FILE_MASTER
    {
 
    string Tablename;
        public FILE_MASTER()
        {
            //
            // TODO: Add constructor logic here
            //
        }
        [System.Data.Linq.Mapping.Column(Name="filename")]
        public string FileName
        {
            get;
 
            set;
 
           
        }
 
        [System.Data.Linq.Mapping.Column(Name = "file_content")]
        public byte[] file_content
        {
            get;
 
            set;
 
 
        }
 
        [System.Data.Linq.Mapping.Column(Name = "file_id", IsPrimaryKey = true, IsDbGenerated = true, CanBeNull = false)]
       
        public int file_id
        {
            get;
            set;
 
        }
 
    }
 
    public class TestDB : DataContext
    {
 
        public Table<FILE_MASTER> FILE_MASTERs;
 
       //Initializing base class constructor
 
        public TestDB(string s) : base(s) { }
               
    }
 
 This
is working but, this is suitable only for single table, I expect
depending upon the user input automaticaly the tablename, column name
will change in the yellow block codes  .
Is there any way to update the tablename , columnname from any other class?
 
 
                  Thank you. Jeyaseelan

When IDENTITY_INSERT Is Set To OFF. -- LINQ

Jan 21, 2008

I'm new to ASP/VS/Linq and I'm having a small problem.
 I have one table setup in SQL Server Express 2005 through Visual Studio 2008.  The table name is "Users" and has three columns (accountID, userName, email).  AccountID is the primary key and set to auto incriment.  I've added a couple of records by hand and it works.
I have a single form with a button, a label, and two text boxes.  The button code is below.  After entering some fake data that does not already exist in the database and clicking the button I get this.
Cannot insert explicit value for identity column in table 'Users' when IDENTITY_INSERT is set to OFF.
I understand that it is trying to insert something into the accountID field but I don't understand why since I'm only providing a username and e-mail address to insert.
Your help is greatly appreciated.protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MyDatabaseDataContext db = new MyDatabaseDataContext();
var query = from u in db.Users
where u.email == txtEmail.Text
select u;

var count = query.Count();
if (count == 0)
{
//Create a new user object.
User newUser = new User();

newUser.username = txtUsername.Text;
newUser.email = txtEmail.Text;

//Add the user to the User table.
db.Users.InsertOnSubmit(newUser);
db.SubmitChanges();
}
else
{
Label1.Text = txtEmail.Text + " already exists in the database.";

 This causes a runtime error. The error is: "The query results cannot be enumerated more than once." and the txtAdd1.text line is highlighted.
How am I supposed to get at the data so I can fill my text boxes this way?

Linq-to-SQL And ASP:Repeater

May 25, 2008

Hi there,
In 2005.NET, if I used an asp:repeater, I would load the data from source and then manipulate it like so://load the data from source using a predefined connection and SQL Statement.private void LoadMyDataFromSource(){        try        {            connection.Open();            OleDbDataReader myReader = comm.ExecuteReader();                        rptrCatList.DataSource = myReader;            rptrCatList.DataBind();             myReader.Close();           }        finally        {            connection.Close();        }} //catch the ItemDataBound event and manipulate the data how I wish before it's loaded into the Repeater.protected void rptrCatList_ItemDataBound(object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e)      {        if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item || e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem)        {            int title = 4; //this is the index of the column I wish to manipulate((Label)e.Item.FindControl("lblTitle")).Text = ((IDataRecord)e.Item.DataItem).GetString(title) + ":"       }   }This would give me all the flexbility I ever needed. But now I wish to use linq and since the IDataRecord relies on dataReader sources, I cannot obtain the same flexbility. Can anyone point me in the right direction for obtaining the same kind of flexbility but using a linq-to-SQL dataContext? I wish to manipulate mostData that comes through from my source, so: //loadng the data in via my linq-to-sql context.private void LoadProducts()    {        MyDataContext db = new MyDataContext ();        var all = from p in db.Products_IncontinenceStandards                  where p.Product_Cat == "Category1"                  select p;        rpterCat.DataSource = all;        rpterCat.DataBind();    }This is where I get stuck because, even though I can still capture the ItemDataBound event since I have databound the Repeater to the linqSource, I can't access the individual fields (or this is what I think I can't do!), Does anyone know how to relate to this so I can create the same effect? Many Thanks,Nathan Channon
