PDF Indexing In SQL Server 2000
Apr 21, 2008
I'm looking for troubleshooting tips to enable fulltext indexing of PDFs in SQL Server 2000. Here are my steps so far:
added a column (PDFindexBlob) with data type 'image'
added a column (BlobType) to indicate the file extension (pdf) so that the installed Adobe iFilter (v6.0) gets invoked
made sure that the fulltext catalog (CHF) includes the relevant table
ran sp_fulltext_column to add the column PDFindexBlob to the catalog, and to indicate the corresponding document-type column (BlobType, varchar(4))
loaded a PDF (via ASP) into PDFindexBlob and set BlobType = 'pdf'
rebuilt and repopulated the catalog
queried the table using CONTAINS() for several words I know to be searchable text in the PDF
No Joy. I'm aware of the single-threading issue, but the registry hack isn't doable because it's a shared host. Anyway the MS Knowledge Base article indicates that the Service Pack 3 update should have fixed that issue.
Suggestions from successful PDF indexers are most welcome!

hi all! i'm new and hoping you might help me - have searched E V E R Y W H E R E for this answer!!
--my ASP program is running on IIS box (call it "Lucy")
--my ASP program connects to SQL Server 2000 db on another box (call it "Linus") consisting of .doc, .xls, .PDF and the like
--all's well EXCEPT when PDFs are returned! sometimes browser gives blank screen instead of PDF <?> i figure iFilter will "cure" this.
--question:
WHICH SERVER should iFilter be installed on? Lucy (where IIS is running & ASP program is) or Linus (where SQL Server does its full text indexing)?
thanks in advance for any & all help!!

I got in a conversation with another person about MS SQL 2000 server and .NET. According to this guy for some reason they didn't work well together (database indexing issues) and there were better 3rd party indexing tools. Anyone heard anything about this?
Thanks,
Trey

Hi,
Currently we have a variety of SQL 2000 (and 2005) database servers, we are having issues with the maintenance plan of a few SQL2000 boxes where they no longer have enough hard disk space to do a full index-rebuild on the system.
Now we want to re-build the databases indexes approximately once a week, or maybe a little less often, in the past this has worked fine with maintenance plans.
However, we now have issues because we have some databases in offline mode, and we are quite low on disk space with no plans for hardware upgrades anytime soon.
The temporary solution is to turn the index rebuilds off.
I have been working on a script that will:
Cycle through each database and within that database:
Go through each table
Run a DBCC DBREINDEX on the table
Move on to the next table
Once the reindexing of one database is complete
IF the database is not in simple mode
Backup the transaction log
Run a DBCC SHRINKDATABASE with the required amount of free space
Go to the next database until all are complete.The logic is quite simple but so far this has not worked, it would appear something is locking the transaction log until the script exits.
Now the script works fine excluding the shrinkdatabase, I always get:
DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your system administrator. [SQLSTATE 01000]
Shrinking database: inf_dev target percentage: 10 at: Aug 2 2007 5:33PM [SQLSTATE 01000]
Cannot shrink log file 2 (INF_PROD_Log) because all logical log files are in use. [SQLSTATE 01000]
Where I'm indexing the INF_Prod database.
A DBCC LOGINFO shows something along the lines of:
Code Snippet
BACKUP LOG successfully processed 45162 pages in 152.607 seconds (2.424 MB/sec). [SQLSTATE 01000]
FileId FileSize StartOffset FSeqNo Status Parity CreateLSN

2 9043968 388825088 29801 0 64 29800000001528500007
Clearly there is something in the log file towards the end.
However, I don't know why this is happening as I'm running the script in the master database and I've backed up the transaction log of the database I'm working on.
I've tried doing Full backup + Transaction log + Shrink, it fails.
I've tried waiting 10minutes in the script + shrink, it also fails.
However, if I open a query analyzer and do a backup log, then a shrink it works perfectly every time.
However in the script it always fails no matter what I do.
Where am I going wrong here?
Regards,
Gareth

Hi,
The other day we tried online re-indexing feature of SQL 2005 and it€™s performing faster than offline re-indexing. Could you please validate if it€™s supposed to do be this way? I always thought offline should be faster than online.

Hello,
I have an intranet environment consists of two servers:
- An application server windows 2003 server with 64-bit server Sharepoint 2007 SP1 (Standard version for search)
- A database server windows 2003 server with 64-bit SQL Server 2005 SP2 64-bit (Standard - 9.0.3054)
It happens regularly that the database server crash (frozen black screen) while the application server indexes (crawl) the content of the intranet site based on sharepoint. There is no alert / error in the observer of events, nor in the sql logs.
The crash is uncertain: dice once all goes well, soon after that crash. When i set the parameter search service (service management research), I can define a regulatory impact of the robot to change the number of documents at the same time : "Request 2 documents at the same time, the crash is more rare, "ask 64 documents at a time, the crash is more common.
My Intranet under sharepoint is composed of a collection site with a dozen sub-sites. There are 3 large library of PDF document. All done in the 4 go in terms of volume.
My problem for about 3-4 months. (Maybe more. Before, indexing was not yet in place).
Someone could help me? Thank you

I am using the full text indexing feature of SQL Server .
I have indexed two text fields in the Content table and two other text fields in the ContentDetail table
The select queries are shown below for the two seperate calls.
I want to be able to show the results based on the rank ( The column that has the best match for the searched key ).
Since I am getting two different RANK arrays from the two calls, can i resort them in the code to get the new rank order to show the results in the screen
SELECT KEY_TBL.RANK,FT_TBL.Description, FT_TBL.Title
FROM Content AS FT_TBL
INNER JOIN
CONTAINSTABLE( Content, * ,
'ISABOUT (Cancer weight(1),Survivor weight(1), Shared weight(1), Story weight(1))' ) AS KEY_TBL
ON FT_TBL.ContentID = KEY_TBL.[KEY]
ORDER BY KEY_TBL.RANK DESC
SELECT KEY_TBL.RANK,FT_TBL.Description, FT_TBL.SubTitle
FROM ContentDetail AS FT_TBL
INNER JOIN
CONTAINSTABLE( ContentDetail, * ,
'ISABOUT (Cancer weight(1),Survivor weight(1), Shared weight(1), Story weight(1))' ) AS KEY_TBL
ON FT_TBL.ContentDetailID = KEY_TBL.[KEY]
ORDER BY KEY_TBL.RANK DESC

Hi all,
Our star schema design has one fact table and 3 dimensions.
The FK's in the fact do not necessarily make up the primary key. So I have an identifier in the fact table as PK. Here is my index assignment:
Fact Table - Clustered Index on PK
Non Clustered Index 1 on FK1
Non Clustered Index 2 on FK2
Non Clustered Index 3 on FK3
Each Dimension Table - Clustered Index on PK
Non Clustered Index on Attribute. This is the attribute that will be used in reports / cubes.
Is the above design good to start with?
Thanks,
V

I've been driving myself nuts trying to get a sensible product search
going. The existing live site search is just a LIKE %searchterm% on
the Title field in our Products table. Fast, but not great ;) Talks
between IT and Marketing have resulted in this being the desired
results and order:
Exact Title match
Substring Title match
Substring Keywords match
Substring Description match
OK, I can easily do this with UNION queries using LIKE (and a virtual
"weight" column in each query), but the query takes too long. So I'm
trying out SQL Server full text indexing, in an attempt to get the
speed up (and the natural language stuff is just plain cool).
Where I'm running into problems is doing a FULLTEXT match on
Description. It seems that to do a phrase match (e.g. "new york"
should match only Descriptions where the phrase "new york" occurs) I
need to enclose the search term in quotation marks in the query (or
maybe single AND double quotes).
But using parameters in ASP.NET (which I'm supposed to do to avoid SQL
injection attacks, yes?) I don't really have full control of the
quoting - ASP.NET and/or SQL Server automagically quotes strings for
me before passing them into the query. I think.
For example, this doesn't find any description matches:
==========================================
Declare @theSearchTerm varchar(100), @theSearchTerm1 varchar(100)
set @theSearchTerm = "new york"
set @theSearchTerm1 = "%new york%"
SELECT m.TitleCode, m.ShortName, m.ShortDescription, 50 as theWeight
FROM Product m(NoLock)
WHERE m.ShortName = @theSearchTerm
UNION
(SELECT m.TitleCode, m.ShortName, m.ShortDescription, 40 as theWeight
FROM Product m(NoLock)
WHERE m.ShortName LIKE @theSearchTerm1)
UNION
(SELECT m.TitleCode, m.ShortName, m.ShortDescription, 30 as theWeight
FROM Product m(NoLock)
WHERE CONTAINS(*, '"@theSearchTerm"'))
ORDER BY theWeight DESC, m.ShortName
==========================================
But this one (where I put in the actual string instead of using the
parameter) *does* get the desired results, including matches in the
Description:
==========================================
Declare @theSearchTerm varchar(100), @theSearchTerm1 varchar(100)
set @theSearchTerm = "new york"
set @theSearchTerm1 = "%new york%"
SELECT m.TitleCode, m.ShortName, m.ShortDescription, 50 as theWeight
FROM Product m(NoLock)
WHERE m.ShortName = @theSearchTerm
UNION
(SELECT m.TitleCode, m.ShortName, m.ShortDescription, 40 as theWeight
FROM Product m(NoLock)
WHERE m.ShortName LIKE @theSearchTerm1)
UNION
(SELECT m.TitleCode, m.ShortName, m.ShortDescription, 30 as theWeight
FROM Product m(NoLock)
WHERE CONTAINS(*, '"new york"'))
ORDER BY theWeight DESC, m.ShortName
==========================================
Trying various permutations of quotes around the parameter gives me
either syntax errors or undesirable results.
Has anybody tried this sort of thing? How did you do it?
Thanks,
Greg Holmes

We have recently migrated quite a databases around 20 from SQL 2000 and 2005 to SQL server 2008R2.
I am using Ola's script for index maintenance for those with compatibility level above 80 as i heard it supports that way.
Hence separated in 2 way job where for those with compatibility level 80, we are running job with below query on each database with 80 as compared
USE ABC
GO
EXEC sp_MSforeachtable @command1="print '?' DBCC DBREINDEX ('?', ' ', 80)"
GO
EXEC sp_updatestats
GO
I am not sure if this is the only way in for those databases, because we are seeing the database getting because of that somewhere using above query.( seems log file filling very rapidly).
But above is not the case with those databases , with compatibility 90 and above.

We are experiencing a problem with Sql Server 2000 linking to anAccess 97 file. We have two machines that link to this .mdb file, andwe recently upgraded one to newer hardware, SP3a, MDAC 2.8, etc. Thelink on this upgraded machine no longer works, giving this message:Server: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' reported an error.[OLE/DB provider returned message: Cannot open a database created witha previous version of your application.]OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'IDBInitialize::Initialize returned 0x80004005: ].The link on the older machine still works. We decided to tryconverting a copy of the file to Access 2000 to see if the newerpatches/drivers/whatever no longer supported 97. We set up a link onboth machines to this file, and they both work. However, on theupgraded machine, the following error is receievedServer: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' reported an error.[OLE/DB provider returned message: System resource exceeded.]OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'ICommandText::Execute returned 0x80004005: ].when making 1-3 connections to the the linked server, while the oldermachine supports at least 7 simultaneous queries connecting to thelinked server and still hasn't produced that error.Does anyone have any idea if there is a known issue with linking toAccess 97/2000 files under MDAC 2.8, Jet 4.0, etc? Any light anyonecan shine on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

My objective is to use Enterprise Manager to move (copy) my SQL db from the server to my windows desktop computer.
I downloaded MSDE and am having trouble installing it, no doubt because I do not understand the documentaion (ReadMeMSDE2000A.htm).
When I try to run setup, I get that message that says:
"A strong SA password is required for security reasons. Please use SAPWD switch to supply the same."
Considering my purpose, do I need a "strong" SA password? If not, how do I get around it? If yes, how do I set it up?
I am a Mac user so I have poor windows skills, please make it as painless as possible for me, thanks!

Hi,
Just upgraded some development desktops to Vista Business. However we need
to still connect to some older remote windows 2000/SQL 2000 servers.
Trying to setup an ODBC system DSN on our Vista Business local desktop we get the
following errors -
-START ERROR WINDOW-
Connection Failed:
SQLState: '01000'
SQL Server Error: 772

Connection failed:

SQL Server Error: 18
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][TCP/IP Sockets]SSL Security Error
-END ERROR WINDOW-
Any help greatly appreciated as this is stopping us from making
database/table connections etc. We've checked the firewall setup and all is well there.
PS - we can still connect fine using XP or windows 2000 desktops and their
local DSNs.

Hi!! I dont know if this is the correct forum for this or not, but still...Actually i wanted to know some details about SQl's Indexing services.
I found this link on my hosters help pages :
You need to use SQL Query Analyzer tool for this.
This will enable full-text indexing for the current database:exec sp_fulltext_database 'enable'
This creates a catalog:exec sp_fulltext_catalog 'catalogname', 'create'
This enables indexing of a table:exec sp_fulltext_table 'tablename', 'create','catalogname', 'indexname'
This adds a column to an index:exec sp_fulltext_column 'tablename', 'columnname', 'add'
This activates fulltext on a table:exec sp_fulltext_table 'tablename', 'activate'
These two enable automatic filling of the full-text index when changes occur to a table:exec sp_fulltext_table 'tablename','start_change_tracking'exec sp_fulltext_table 'tablename','start_background_updateindex'
From the above i get that i need to set up my database for indexing then make a catalog and then add an index of a table to this catalog. Can anyone point any good tutorials for using this is the proper way so that performance is not affected and tells me details on updating indexes etc(esp using some criterias). Moreover does indexing columns lower the performance? Is there a workaround? I am completely new to this.

Hi,
Can you please help me find out if this statement is always true:
"Adding a new Index slows down updates"
This is more a general question, applicable as well for SQL Server.
If this is not the appropriate subforum then I kindly ask an moderator to move this thread to the appropriate sub-forum.
Thank you,
