SQL 2005 Bug? Cannot Create Full Text Index For VARBINARY Column That's Populated With Converted NVARCHAR Values

Jul 11, 2007

Hi, I was wondering if any SQL Server gurus out there could help me...

I have a table I'm trying to apply a full text catalog to, however no results are ever returned due to the text column being cataloged being of varbinary(max) that's being populated from a converted nvarchar(max) value - I've narrowed it down to this specifically, populating with non nvarchar text seems to work fine.
To re-create the problem quickly...

If I populate the column via
CONVERT(varbinary(max), 'test text')
then there is no problem, I get results as expected.

However if I populate the column via
CONVERT(varbinary(max), CAST('test text' as nvarchar(max)))
no results are ever returned.

Is this a bug with SQL Server 2005 Full Text Indexing? I'm happily creating full text catalogs when an nvarchar is not getting converted into a varbinary.

I'm setting the Document Type column to '.html' (I've tried changing this to '.txt' in case it was a fault with the html ifilter but the problem persists so I believe I can rule this out).

The reason I need to convert an nvarchar to varbinary is that the table holds multi-lingual text and I'm adding a html meta tag <META NAME="MS.LOCALE" CONTENT="ES"> to the beginning in order for the full text indexing word breaker to select the correct language to catalog the text with. The aim being to provide more relevant searches in users native languages (I've read a few articles that describe this technique, but it's the first time I've tried to apply it).

Any pointers / suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Cheers,
Gavin.

No Results Returned For Full Text Search On Varbinary(max) Column

Jul 10, 2007

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.Any pointers / suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Cheers,Gavin.

What is the best way of using the Full-Text feature on HTML?
I want to only search the text and omit the html tags.

If that involves storing as a different format, can someone tell me the best way of doing that?

Can Not Create A Full Text Catalog Or Index

Nov 2, 2007

When I try to create a full-text catalog on my local database I get an error that I can not find support information for.

Here is the command I run :CREATE FULLTEXT CATALOG asset_search_values_catalog on FILEGROUP ftFileGroup IN PATH 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData' as default

Here is the error message I get:
Msg 7689, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Execution of a full-text operation failed. 'No such interface supported'


I check the properties of my database and Full-text is enabled.

I am running SQL Server 2005, on an XP Pro, SP2.
I had originially installed in side by side with SQL Server 2000.

I even tried uninstalling SQL Server 2005 (to try a re-install), I could not even uninstall the database.

What should I do.

Can't Create A Full-text Index Or Catalogue On My Sql Table.

Sep 28, 2006

I am trying to run an SELECT statement with a CONTAINS statement from a aspx.net solution built using Visual Web Developer 2005 express edition. When I try to run the thing it throws an error saying

"Cannot use a CONTAINS or FREETEXT predicate on table or indexed view 'JournalArticle' because it is not full-text indexed.".

I don't have access to the SQL Express server, I interface through Server Management Studio Express. There is an option to create a full-text index from the menu, but it is greyed out, presumably because there is no full-text catalogue. This is my real question, How do I create a full-text catalogue using Server Management Studio Express? The help function only provides examples of sql code, which I assume must be performed using sql server (which I don't have access to). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

cheers,

Bernie

Can I Enable Full Text Index On A Database From Within Visual Studio 2005?

Nov 18, 2007

Hi,
I have visual studio 2005 with the sql server express edition that is installed by default when installing vs2005.
I am used to work from within vs when I want to create and work with databases for my web sites (I dont have visual manager installed).
I would like to enable full text search on a table's column.

Is there an easy way to do that from within vs or is it necessary to install another copy of sql server express with advanced services as well as sql server managment studio express?
How can I know if full text search is enabled?

Thanx in advance!

SQL 2012 :: Full Text Index How To Make It NOT To Index Embedded Or Attached Documents

Sep 30, 2015

I am using Full Text Index to index emails stored in BLOB column in a table. Index process parses stored emails, and, if there is one or more files attached to the email these documents get indexed too. In result when I'm querying the full text index for a word or phrase I am getting reference to the email containing the word of phrase if interest if the word was used in the email body OR if it was used in any document attached to the email.

How to distinguish in a Full Text query that the result came from an embedded document rather than from "main" document? Or if that's not possible how to disable indexing of embedded documents?

My goal is either to give a user an option if he or she wants to search emails (email bodies only) OR emails AND documents attached to them, or at least clearly indicate in the returned result the real source where the word or phrase has been found.

Clustered Index Vs. Full Text Index

Jun 18, 2008

Quick question about the primary purpose of Full Text Index vs. Clustered Index.

The Full Text Index has the purpose of being accessible outside of the database so users can query the tables and columns it needs while being linked to other databases and tables within the SQL Server instance.
Is the Full Text Index similar to the global variable in programming where the scope lies outside of the tables and database itself?

I understand the clustered index is created for each table and most likely accessed within the user schema who have access to the database.

Is this correct?

I am kind of confused on why you would use full text index as opposed to clustered index.

Thank you

Clustered Index On Nvarchar Column Or Int...

Jan 25, 2007

Users can approach their userprofile on my site using: www.mysite.com/name=peterName is a unique value within my database (db type: nvarchar(50))Now, I have created a clustered index on the username column.However, IMHO its faster to create a clustered index on the (also unique) usercode column since that is of type int.BUT since a user can approach my site based on username I feel that I HAVE to live with this setback in performance....Is that true or is there a better way to solve this issue?

MS SQL Full-text Index Search

Jan 16, 2006

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 “rankâ€? with SQL

Full Text Index Not Populating

Dec 13, 2005

I have a table with 13,000,000 records. I want to generate a full-text index on one column (a varchar 2000). I am able to define the full-text index, but when I click on "Start Full population", there is virtually no activity (no disk activity, no CPU activity, very little to indicate anything is happening.

When I check the properties of the catalog, it shows 1 MB size and 0 records in the catalog. The status of the catalog is "idle" and the display in EM shows that the last full population occurred at (about) the time that I generated the population request. I have generated the request by using EM (right click on table) and through SQL Agent with the same result (no catalog generated).

I am running SQL 2000 (SP4) on Windows 2000 (SP4) with 4 GB RAM and sufficient disk space available. I have enabled the full-text service and verified that it is running (I have stopped and restarted it as well).

I have worked with Full Text indexes before and never had any kind of issue before. Any thoughts or suggestions would be welcome.

Regards,

hmscott

Is Full-Text Index Really That Much Overhead?

Oct 29, 2007

I am a developer, and I have a disagreement with my DBA. He has convinced management, that SQL 2005 FullText Index is so much overhead on production, that it should NEVER be used under any circumstances. We have a Cold Fusion site, and somehow he convinced management that a bunch of Cold Fusion developers can create a more efficient full text indexing method than by using SQL 2005 Full Text Index. So now we have to come up with a method for doing this in Cold Fusion.

Is there any statistical data that could possible support or refute his statements?
Thanks

Full Text Index Error

Feb 11, 2008

Hi,

I build some t-sql code to check if full text is installed on the sql server. If not, some sql statements must be not executed. Here is my code:


if (select serverproperty('IsFullTextInstalled')) = 1

Begin


EXEC sp_fulltext_database 'enable'


CREATE FULLTEXT CATALOG [...] WITH ACCENT_SENSITIVITY = OFF AS DEFAULT




CREATE FULLTEXT INDEX ON dbo.Test (Name LANGUAGE 0, Description LANGUAGE 0) KEY INDEX IX_Test_1 ON [...] WITH CHANGE_TRACKING AUTO
ALTER FULLTEXT INDEX ON dbo.Test ENABLE


End


Statement 1 and 2 is not executed, but for statement 3 the server throws the following error:
Full-Text Search is not installed, or a full-text component cannot be loaded.


I don't know why the server tries to execute statement 3, because it is in an if statement.

Any help is welcome.

Replication For Full-Text Index

Mar 30, 2006

I have built a Full-Text Index on a indexed view. I'd like to replicate this indexed view from a control database to a live database. What values should I specify for @type and @schema_option for the sp_addarticle sproc to ensure the Full-Text Index is still functional after it's replicated?

For now, I have set @type="indexed view logbased" and @schema_option=0x90000F3. Are these values correct?

Could anyone give me some advice on this?

Thank you very much,

I've got a full text index working with a "CONTAINS" clause in the SQL. I'm looking for the character that I can place in CONTAINS(*,'WHATHERE') that will return everything. I've tried "*" and "%" but none of them will do it. Does anybody know?

Thanks

Integration Services :: SSIS Lookup Not Working On Nvarchar Column Using FULL CACHE

Jul 30, 2015

I'm currently loading a package that does a lookup on a column of data type nvarchar(4).The values itself are (A+, A, B+, B, C, D, /). The strange lookup behaviour is happening for each of the cases, so it's not related to a specific value. After trying to put the cache on NO CACHE, the lookup works perfectly. When using the default FULL CACHE the strange behaviour happens. Could it be related to the data type? I have not yet tried to use a CHAR instead of a NVARCHAR but it looks like people have similar issues using CHAR.

Full-Text Index Maintenance And Backup

Apr 11, 2000

Are there any examples of maintenance(ReBuild FULL or Incremental) for Full-Text indexes? Are there any index integrity checks that can be done? What is the best way to backup a full-text index?
