I am in a dilemma if I should reorganize or rebuild a full text catalog.
My application owner does not want a rebuild as he says that it takes week for the rebuild to occur on these full text indexes.
Will this code just re-organize without turning off the full text indexes : Alter fulltext catalog catalog_name Reorganize
I have a handful of databases that are enabled for Full-Text search. After investigating some recent performance issues, I discovered the FullText Catalogs needed to be reorganized. This is a task I knew I wanted to automate, without having to hard-code db names or catalog names. My first thought was to use sp_executesql with dynamic tsql strings. I was quite disappointed to realize that I couldn't use fully qualified names to run either of these commands:
ALTER FULLTEXT CATALOG [DBName].[SchemaName].[CatalogName] REORGANIZE
ALTER FULLTEXT CATALOG [DBName]..[CatalogName] REORGANIZE
My next thought was to create a stored proc on each user db that would do the re-orgs. Then I could have a sql job iterate through the db's and run the sp on each db. Thinking...Hmm...That's do-able, but I don't like it. Add a new db to the server, and I have to remember to create the sp. Relying on my memory to do something isn't always a good idea. Plus, if I have to fix/edit/enhance the sp, I get the pleasure of doing it multiple times on multiple servers. Too much work.
I came up with some code that would dynamically reorganize all the catalogs, but I had to run it while connected to a specific db. How do I run the code while connected to [master], but in the context of a different db? The undocumented proc [sp_MSforeachdb] came to mind. I'd never used it, and was reluctant to do so after reading about other dba's experiences with it. So I came up with my own derivitive, just for this one purpose. The code is below.
CREATE PROCEDURE dba.ReorganizeFullTextCatalogs
AS
/*
Purpose:
Reorganizes the FullText Catalogs (as needed) on all user databases.
Inputs: None
History:

--This is the tsql statement that get executed on each db.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen restoring a database that contained a full text catalog to another server I noticed that the full text catalogs were not restored. However, the system tables still had the information on these catalogs. As such, I couldn't delete the catalogs (because they didn't exist).
In the end, I deleted the relevant lines from the system table sysfulltextcatalogs and sysobjects and then built a new set of catalogs. Obviously this isn't ideal.
I am restoring databases to a backup/standby server on a regular basis and was wondering if there are any official/documented methods of restoring full text catalogs to another server. (i.e. without having to mess around with the system tables). There doesn't seem to be much in BOL.
Any pointers or ideas on this would be welcome.

I have a database which has (god knows how) ended up with a Full text catalog which is believes is on the E: drive of the machine. The problem is that machine only has C: drive.
If I try and rebuid the catalog (sp_fulltext_catalog 'documents','rebuild') I get an error saying that e:... doesn't exist.
If I try and drop the catalog (sp_fulltext_catalog 'documents', 'drop'), I can't because it contains a full-text index.
If I try and drop remove the full text index from the table (sp_fulltext_table 'tbl_upload','drop'), I can't because Full-text catalog has been lost. Use sp_fulltext_catalog to rebuild and to repopulate it.
HELP
Does anybody know how to either drop it so that I can recreate it or how to update it so that it looks at a disk that the machine actually has?
Hello Everybody,
I have a really strange problem and i need your advice...
in one line:
creating full-text index bring to Rank = 0 when running FreeTextTable (although it shouldn't be).
in details:
when creating a new catalog on defining full-text index process, I finish the process successfully and then run a query (FreeTextTable) on the first time i get rank = 731, and after that get always rank=0. after checking every option in this process, try to use old catalog (belongs to different full-text search) it works perfectly.
does anyone has a clue?
thanks in advance,
Omer
Hi,
I'm not sure this is the right place for this thread but here goes.
I am trying to setup a full text catalog on one table in my database. Although the catalog is created fine and no erros are reported when creating or populating the catalog. It seems to be empty as its size is only 1Mb and my query:
select top 10* from kmuser.tbl_webpages
where contains (WebPageHTML_FT, '"aruba"'
returns no rows, while:
select * from kmuser.tbl_webpages
where webpagehtml_ft like '%aruba%'
returns 6 rows.
I have read several articles on the subject and have followed them to a T. I've deleted it and recreated so many times now both through Enterprise manager and through query analyser using the stored procedure sp_fulltext_catalog.
I've checked that full text catalog is enabled using:
select DATABASEPROPERTY(DB_NAME(), N'IsFullTextEnabled')
I am really stuck. Does anyone have any ideas?
Many thanks
How can I get all the properties in t-sql that are shown in the full-text catalog properties dialog box in enterprise manager? The one I am specifically looking for is "Physical Catalog". I know Location, Status, Item Count, Catalog Size, and Last Population Date can come from FULLTEXTCATALOGPROPERTY or sysfulltextcatalogs. So where is "Physical Catalog"?

I have a database that I just copy its datafile(.mdf) and the log file to another place in my system. Due to the fact that the sql server instance developed internal error, then i have to forcefully uninstall it and later install it (done successfully). After re-installation, I attach the database file back to the package withoou first and foremost copy it to the Data folder in sql server directory, but rather from where I kept the file. When I decided to create a full-text sraching on a table, the name of the catalog to be used has been afore-configured before. So I decided not to create a new one, then when I applied ful-text indexing on one the table i have index use the procedure (full-text indexing), an error generate sayingFull-text catalog is in an unusable state. I tried to google it and the advice is to drop the catalog and re-create a new catalog. Then when i use this statementdrop fulltext catalog <name>; Error is prompted saying it can not be commited because of the associated table(s) that have been indexing. Is there any way to easily drop all these indexes and re-create another catalog as well as a new indexing on the affected tables. Any suggestions/help is welcome.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHi there,
First off: I know that MSDE can't handle Full Text Catalogs.
Now I'd like to know if someone knows about a product or method which I could use that would give me the same result and work with MSDE.
The reason I ask is the following:
We have developed an Intranet application based upon MS Sharepoint Portal Server 2003 for Document Management purposes. Every Document has about 20 customized Properties which can be set. We do have an extensive interface for searching these documents
Now every user can have his "Favorite Documents" in a personal location.
What we are doing now is a "Local" version of this application. It will not allow documents to be modifed and will export the Users Favorites to his personal Computer.
For the moment we store everything (including the documents themselves) in a local MSDE Database.
Now we were recently asked to allow the user to search these local documents. Or at least search for documents with specific properties(i.e. no content indexing needed)
However I don't know how to go about this.
The structure I have for the DB is following
tblFiles
FileGUID FileName
1 Doc1
2 Doc2
tblProperties
PropertyGUID PropertyName
1 Name
2 Author
tblFileProperties
FileGUID PropertyGUID Value
1 1 Test Document.doc
1 2 John Smith
2 1 Dcoument for testing.xls
2 2 John Doe
Now you get the idea
We want to user to be able to specify search criteria for multiple properties
e.g. return every Document where Author Like 'John' and Name Like 'Document'
Preferably we should also be able to use wildcars. But that is not abolutely necessary for the moment.
Now I guess to achieve this I'd need a full text Search Catalog on tblFileProperties.Value, but I'm not even sure about that.
Any help please

I recently moved a database from one server to another. One thing
I didn't catch is that I had a Full Text Catalog on the old server.
Well, on the new server, the catalog is still pointing to a disk
location that doesn't exist on the new server. I tried to remove
the catalog but get an error:
"Error 21776: The name 'Claims Catalog' was not found in the FullTextCatalogs collection....."
So, I go to the table and attempt to remove Full Text Indexing but get
the same error with: "Error 20565: Database is not full-text
enabled yet"
I tried to remove the indexing key from the table and get: "Invalid cursor state"
I even tried to fake a mapped drive with the path it was looking for and it still doesn't work.
Any suggestions other than dropping the table? (it has about 40,000 records).
Thanks!

I have made a full text catalog for my article table, and enabled "change tracking" and "update in background", this works just the way its supposed to work, a little delay before I can search in the entered text, but thats not a problem.
The Problem is when I restart the server, then it forgets the things it has indexed in the background, and it doesnt seem to enable the "update in background"-feature, before I manually starts population the first time.
How can I set it to start population on server startup, and remember the things it indexes in the background?
i want to be able to do full text searches on a table that i have that already has data in it.. i created a new catalog, then started incremenetal population.. but nothing happened? will it only catalog the new data thats been entered into the table after i start incremental update? so since i have data in teh table already, would i need to do a full population first before i start incremenetal population?
thanks!

Hi,
Hope this is the right forum - apologies if its not. I'm a newbie. I'm at my wits end as I cant create a full-text catalog in SQL server 2000. Let me explain (I'll try and include as much info as I can):-
When I run the following command:
sp_fulltext_catalog 'Cat_Desc', 'create'
I get the following error mesaage:
Server: Msg 7619, Level 16, State 2, Procedure sp_fulltext_catalog, Line 64
The specified object cannot be found. Specify the name of an existing object.
I in as user sa. I determine this from running:
select suser_sname()
The SQL Server instance is running under user: LocalSystem
I determine this from the following command:
DECLARE @serviceaccount varchar(100)
EXECUTE master.dbo.xp_instance_regread
N'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE',
N'SYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesMSSQLSERVER',
N'ObjectName',
@ServiceAccount OUTPUT,
N'no_output'
SELECT @Serviceaccount
The database is owned by: sa (determined by visual inspection).
Yes, full text indexing is enabled for this database as I ran the following command:
EXEC sp_fulltext_database 'enable'
and get the following:
(1 row(s) affected)
(0 row(s) affected)
(1 row(s) affected)
Now I can't think of anything else. I'm at my wits end! Please help. Any comments/suggestions/ideas/diagnostics greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Al.
PS: Apologies if I'm in the wrong forum!
Hi
I have a sql 2000 db which has a table that has a compound key, the problem is that I would like to create a Full Text Catalog for this table. However I noticed that i need a single primary key... but I dont have one.
I created another field on my table called "ftcID" as an int with identity set to Yes
However when I try and create a catalog it doesnt detect that this field is unique.
Does my unique field have to be a Primary Key, I cant remove the compound primary key as it will break my application.
Any help would be much appreciated
Many thanks in advance

I have Googled the terms 'move path change full-text index catalog' and have come up with nothing that pertains to SQL 2005...only 2000 and 7.0....
So my question remains, how the heck do you change the location of the full-text catalog in SQL 2005? Must I delete and re-create? If so is there a good article on this process? I don't want to loose data or screw anything up....I can't imagine I am the first person who wants to do his?????

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhile attempting to query a Full-Text enabled database where a catalog exists for the database, I receive the following error: "Full-text catalog %database% is in an unusable state. Drop and re-create this full-text catalog." I have dropped and re-created the full-text catalog numerous times with no luck. I have also stopped and restarted the SQL Server service and Full-Text service engines mulitple times with no luck. Other items to note are, we're running SQL 2005 64 bit Enterprise Edition SP1 on a Windows 2003 server. We have an identical setup in development and full-text indexing works without any hitches. I have also checked both the SQL server permissions and the local file-system permissions and they also seem to be more then adequate; in addition, they match the security configurations of our development environment. Lastly, the production database is a restore of the development database.
In short, I'm hoping that someone may have a potential solution other then reinstalling SQL Server...which may end up being the only solution.

Hi guys,
What should I do in order to make a Full Text Index / Catalog and then using the Contain predicate?
Thanks in advance,
Aldo.
Have installed SQL Server 2008 R2 Express (includes SSMS tool) on Windows server 2008 R2 sp1 without any issues.Database created with no issues, full text catalog created via the wizard also with no issues but cannot run the process as a scheduled task of updating the catalog because the SQL agent is not available in the express version.
The full text index information is already being populated and updated by a third party application so this leaves just the catalog to be updated as and when new full text information is available.
I have a third party SQL scheduler which will run SQL scheduled tasks but requires a script to run the full text catalog update process
Is it possible to extract a script from the existing full text catalog to run the update process or how to create a script from scratch to do the same update catalog process in the third party scheduler?
I am having troubles to change an owner of a full text catalog. I am the owner of the database. I am doing this:
 USE database;
 ALTER AUTHORIZATION ON Fulltext Catalog::[ftrow_code_lookup_catalog] TO [dbo];Â
Catalog information:
Logical Name:Â ftrow_app_facility_catalog
FileGroup:Â ftfg_app_facility_catalog
But I get an error:
Cannot find the fulltext catalog 'ftrow_app_facility_catalog', because it does not exist or you do not have permission.
