I'm heaving a heck of a time to get a sql query working. I'm being passed a series of zip codes and I need to return a list of all the rows that match those zip codes in a database of about 40,000 leads.
Can someone clue me in to what the commandtext of my query should look like?
Thanks!
I want to search in fulltextindexes for multiple searchterms in multiple columns. The difficulty is:
I don't want only the records with columns that contains both searchterms.
I also want the records of which one column contains one of the searchterm ans another column contains one of the searchterms.
For example I search for NETWORK and PERFORMANCE in two columns.
Jobdescr_________________________|Jobtext
Bad NETWORK PERFORMANCE________|Slow NETWORK browsing in Windows XP
Bad application PERFORMANCE_______|Because of slow NETWORK browsing, the application runs slow.
I only get the first record because JobDescr contains both searchterms
I don't get the second record because none of the columns contains both searchterms
I managed to find a workaround:
SELECT T3.jobid, T3.jobdescr
FROM (SELECT jobid FROM dba.job WHERE contains(jobdescr, 'network*') or CONTAINS(jobtext, 'network*') ) T1
INNER JOIN (SELECT jobid FROM dba.job WHERE contains(jobdescr, 'performance*') or CONTAINS(jobtext, 'performance*')) T2 ON T2.Jobid = T1.Jobid
INNER JOIN (SELECT jobid, jobdescr FROM dba.job) T3 ON T3.Jobid = T1.Jobid OR T3.Jobid = T2.JobId
It works but i guess this will result in a heavy database load when the number of searchterms and columns will increase.
Does anyone know a better solution?
Thanks in advance Bart Rouw
Hi,
I am trying to build search engin with 11 parameters in 4 different tables in the database.
For example:
In search.aspx I have 11 textboxes namely
nameTextbox, phoneTextbox, nationalityTextbox, ageTextbox etc.
And in the result.aspx page I have gridview which post data from the database if the search match.
I wrote this stored procedure. P.S please ignore the syntax.
@name var(30),
@nationality (30),
@phone int,
etc
as
Select a.UserId, b.UserId, c.UserId FROM Table1 a, Table2 b, Table3 c
WHERE
name LIKE '%' @name '%'
OR nationality LIKE '%' @nationality '%'
OR phone LIKE '%' @phone '%'
etc
But I got an error when I am trying to execute this code because the nulls values so I wrote
1 @name var(30),
2
3 @nationality (30),
4
5 @phone int,
6
7 etc
8
9 as
10
11
12
13 Select a.UserId, b.UserId, c.UserId FROM Table1 a, Table2 b, Table3 c
14
15 WHERE
16
17 name LIKE '%' ISNULL(@name, '') '%'
18
19 OR nationality LIKE '%' ISNULL(@nationality,'') '%'
20
21 OR phone LIKE '%' ISNULL(@phone,'') '%'
22
23 etc
24
25
Also the error still exist.
What is the best way to search for multiple parameters in multiple tables ?
Thanks in advanced
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 a search page, containing 3 drop down lists. Theses are used to match data in 3 seperate collumns of a table.I can get the search to work when all boxes are completed, but I need to be able to leave some blank.A similar question was asked in http://forums.asp.net/626941/ShowPost.aspxAnd a very good solution was give: http://www.sqlteam.com/item.asp?ItemID=2077But I don't seem to be able to get any of these examples working!If I use the SET @SQL method, I get an error message saying that my input parameter has not been declared, when it has.When I use the COALESCE method, there is no data returned.(I am passing the data drop down list data fin the search page through the query string to a results page).Does anyone know of any other examples, or sample coding??Thanks...

Hi,
I want to search through 3 tables (TableB, TableC, TableD) to find
which hdr_ctl_nbr(s) are on those tables but not on TableA. In other words, TableA should match the combined tables B, C, and D but it doesn't, so I want to find what's missing on TableA. I know how to search TableB (see SELECT below) but how would I add TableC and TableD to this statement ? Thanks, Jeff
Select hdr_ctl_nbr, count(*) from TableA c
where c.hdr_ctl_nbr not exists (select hdr_ctl_nbr from TableB)
group by c.hdr_ctl_nbr
Is it possible to put a set of columns into a select statement using "in"
For example:
select count(*) from table1 where (col1, col2, col3, col4) in (select a.col1, a.col2, a.col3, a.col4 from table1 a where........)
This is possible in this form for Oracle and DB2 but I cannot get it to work in Sql Server.

Hey guys,
In my DB i have hundreds on queries setup for all different reporting purposes..
We have just changed they way our system handles costing and are moving from a average cost function to a standard cost function.. This in turns, means that i need to replace any reports where i use the average cost field and replace it with the standard cost field.
Is it possible, that i can do a full search and replace over all my queries, looking for a specific field name and replacing it with something else.
I am dreading the idea of opening each individual queries and checking if it exists..
If anyone knows of software or someway to write a SP to accomadate this, please let me know. I would be most grateful.
Thanks
Scotty
Hi Guys, I hope someone here can help me. I am writing a stored procedure that simply searches for a given value across multiple databases on the same server. So far all well and good.Now, the problem is if the user types in more than one word into the search field.I have put a partial section of code here, there is obviously more, but most of it you wouldn't need to see. SELECT @sql = N'SELECT @count = COUNT('+ @dbname +'.dbo.orders.order_id) FROM '+ @dbname +'.dbo.orders '+
N' INNER JOIN '+ @dbname +'.dbo.customer ON '+ @dbname +'.dbo.orders.cust_id = '+ @dbname +'.dbo.customer.cust_id '+
N' WHERE '+ @dbname +'.dbo.customer.forename LIKE ''%'+ @SearchStr + '%'' OR '+ @dbname +'.dbo.customer.Surname LIKE ''%'+ @SearchStr + '%'''
EXEC sp_executesql @sql, N'@count int OUTPUT', @count = @results OUTPUT Now this code works perfectly well if the user only enters one word, however i need to make sure that the Stored procedure will function if the user enters 2 words, such as John Smith. I need the procedure to search the forename for 'john' & 'Smith' and the same for the surname. It should also work if the user type 'John Michael Smith' - if you understand.I am really struggling with this one.Thanks in advance.Darren
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 RelatedI have been informed that all my keyword search solutions are susceptible to SQL injection attacks. Does anyone have links discussing basic ' multiple ' keyword search solutions? I would think this is a very common routine (perhaps so much so than only newbies like myself do not know it). I have read the posts about escaping ', doing replace " ' ", " '' ", using parameters and yet every multiple keyword solution I come up with is said to be injection prone.
Example: visitor enters: Tom's antiquesinto a TextBox control and the C# code behind securely generates the below call to the database.
SELECT L_Name, L_City, L_State, L_Display FROM tblCompanies WHERE L_Kwords LIKE '%' + 'Tom's' + '%' AND L_Kwords LIKE '%' + 'antiques' + '%' AND L_Display = 1 RETURN
I understand that concantenting string parts using an array and then passing the sewn together string to a stored procedure exposes it to injection. I hope that my single keyword routine below is secure, if it is not then I am not understanding how parameterized SP are supposed to be constructed to protect against injection.string CompanyName;CompanyName = TextBox1.Text;PROCEDURE CoNameSearch @CompanyName varchar(100)AS SELECT DISTINCT L_Name, L_Phone, L_City, L_State, L_Zip, L_Enabled, L_Display FROM tblLinksWHERE (L_Name LIKE @CompanyName + '%') AND L_Enabled = 1 AND L_Display = 1 ORDER BY L_NameRETURN
My scenario is I have a web form with a textbox and a button.Once I enter a string and hit submit button, my stored procedure will have to return the result set.So if my search string is "text book title", then I have to execute the query like :select * from tab1 where col1 like '%text%" or col1 like '%book%" or col1 like '%title%"The problem here is I will never know how many words will be entered to search. So I have to make the statement dynamic.How can I do this in a stored procedure? Any help will be appreciated.Thanks.
View 6 Replies View Relatedhi friends,
I know how to create full text catalog with single table in single database.
But i need to know the steps to create full text catalog with multiple tables in single database.
Using a full search index with the following query works with just one parameter.
declare @P0 varchar(50) = '"First*"'
SELECT *
FROM TableName
where contains ((Col1, Col2), @P0)
How do I make it work if I have two parameters, while also protecting the parameters from injection attacks?
declare @P0 varchar(50) = '"First*"'
declare @P1 varchar(50) = '"Second*"'
SELECT *
FROM TableName
where contains ((Col1, Col2), @P0 AND @P1)
If they weren't parameters, you put single quotes around the ' @P0 AND @P1' to get this query to work.
Hi all,
Does anyone know how to do the search and replace in multiple stored procedures using SQL 2005 Management Studio?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks!
Hello,We are developing an application against an MS SQL Server 2000 databasewhich requires that we implement full-text searching across columns inmultiple tables. The research that we have conducted seems to indicatethat this is not directly possible within SQL Server 2000. And we canfind no way to implement this as the catalogs that are generated aretable specific.As a work-around, we are planning to create a secondary table usedstrictly for searching which is going to denormalize and combine thesearchable data into one catalog. We just want to confirm that this isthe recommended approach or if there is an alternate solution anyonehas used. Please note that upgrading to SQL Server 2005 is not anoption.Thanks.John FlemingJoin Bytes!
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to search a string/value across 1000's of tables and just display the table name and column name which it is in. I don't need to know every instance of the string/value only that I can find it in a given table name.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI inherited a system and am moving our SQL2000 input data into a new 2005 database for web searching by clients. The conversion went pretty well, but I'm looking for suggestions on how best to index and query the data.
Details: We have almost 500,000 records in a pretty wide history table, and will be adding more records daily. The original table design has numerous sets of dates(first/last of different types), some small fields, and one large text field that is used for full-text catalog. The input dates are all stored as datetimes set to midnight by an insert trigger.
...
FirstPub as datetime
LastPub as datetime
FirstSale as datetime
LastSale as datetime
Name as varchar(50)
Addr as varchar(50)
DetailText as text....
I need to create a new asp.net page that can accept any specific date, or a range of dates (first/last publish date or range, first/last sale date or range) along with any of the optional 10 text fields. All input is optional, and any combination of fields can be entered. Result set has to include the primary key, key dates, and the large text field.
I've read many posts and articles, but find many different opinions about what works best. I found a similar solution that used a series of case statements with text operators indicating if the date was input or not. Other guys say no - just pass the dates as null without any additional control fields.
I found solutions saying it's best to pass dates as strings, and others that say to use datetime everywhere and just format the presentation. Some say convert dates to formatted dates and then compare them. Others say that causes table scans and should be avoided.
Questions:
1) What is the best way to get a compare dates that are entered through an asp.net page and stored procedures?
2) How to query either a specific date, as well as a range between the first and last date specified? Can it be done efficiently without needing additional screen fields for the range specification? If tried checking nulls, but am having trouble selecting multiple sets of date ranges and/or specific dates with one proc. There is always the old method of storing the selected keys in temp table, and then returning the distinct rows. Most of my experience has been in SQL 7.0 and some 2000, so I'm wondering if there are new ways to tackle the problem.
3) Better to create an index for each date type that might be selected, or one index that has all the main dates in one place?
4) Should we split the large text field to another table in our search database? It would seem to make sense to split them as we add records from the input system. Two tables linked with the same primary key seems like a good improvement from original table design. How would that affect the performance of returning all selected rows and including the large text field?
How can I run through an array of ID's and delete the fields associated to it in a single table? I have a lot of bad data that needs to be removed. BTW, I'm using the SQL Server Management Studio to do this.
I'm currently doing by hand by using the following.
USE database;
DECLARE @id integer
SET @id = XXXXX
DELETE FROM table WHERE id = @id;
I would like to use the same code but with a slight variation to support an array.
Hi,
I'm working on a new site with a big number of future concurrent visitors so performance is very important. We're working on a search function with which users can search for multiple keywords in a single table. My .NET application consults a SQL Server 2005 Stored Procedure to lookup the information. The stored procedure builds up a dynamic SQL string with which the table is queried.
An example:
User searches for 'car airco'. Alle records with the words car and/or airco in specified columns should show up. This works. The query would be
SELECT Col1, Col2 FROM Table1 WHERE (Col1 LIKE '%car%' OR Col2 LIKE '%car%')OR (Col1 LIKE '%airco%' OR Col2 LIKE '%airco%')
As I mentioned before performance is a hot issue in this project. The problem with the stored procedure is that it can't be precompiled by SQL Server (dynamic SQL string). Is there a way to search for multiple keywords without losing the precompile behaviour of SQL Server Stored Procedures?
Kind regards,
ThaYoung1!
Hi,
I have tried this code from http://jtkane.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!1pWDBCiDX1uvH5ATJmNCVLPQ!316.entry for full-text search on multiple tables & columns.
Here's my code:
SELECT * from [tStaffDir] AS e, [tStaffDir_PrevEmp] t,CONTAINSTABLE([tStaffDir], *, @Name) as AwhereA.[KEY] = e.[ID] andt.[ID] = e.[ID]
I have FT the both the tables above and I am able to get results from the [tStaffDir] table but not the [tStaffDir_PrevEmp] table.The [tStaffDir_PrevEmp] table does have a column (which is [ID]) that is indexed, unique and non-Nullable.Please advise what I should do and look out for.
Many Thanks.
Hi, There have been a number of posts on querying multiple tables using full text in SQL Server. I haven't quite found the answer I'm looking for, and I'm aware that in 2005 some full text functionality changed. I have an Events table which joins to a Venue table and also a many-to-many link (via a table called EventsToArtists) to an Artists table.When a user searches for "Rolling Stones Wembley" (without the apostrophes), I want the query to look in the following columns:Event.EventNameEvent.DescriptionArtists.ArtistNameVenue.VenueNameI have done quite a bit of testing on this, and haven't yet got the desired results. Rolling Stones will be found in the Artists table, and Wembley in the Venue table. At the moment, if I search for Rolling Stones, it behaves as expected. But if search for the venue name as well I get no results. I'm pretty sure this is because EventName wouldn't contain all key words and so the record is excluded from the results. At the moment I am using INNER JOINs between the tables....perhaps I should be executing a full text search on each table's catalogue and then do a UNION to join the resultsets?Hope you can point me in the right direction.Thanks

If there weren't parameters, you put single quotes around the '@P0 AND @P1' to get this query to work.
In addition, while "where contains((Col1,Col2),@P0) and contains((Col1,Col2),@P1)" works, it appears to increase the execution time.
What is the most efficient way to write an SP to tackle all kinds of combinations here (where a user could give any search input).I know this must be fairly common to come across this situation.I have written an SP which will take in all the parameters and based on "IF" statements and using "LIKE" in SQL, this SP returns search results.But I wanted to know if there was more efficient ways of doing this, as you can imagine you might end up having several combinations of IF conditions.
