I am currently using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express. However my webhosting company do not support databases created in express.
I am now going to purchase SQL Server 2005, obviously I do not want to have to redo my whole database, does anybody know of a good tutorial of how to transfer my database accross?
I installed SQL Server 2005 express with advanced services which is supposed to include full-text search capability but I can't get it to work. When I try to create a full-text catalog it gives me an error because it does not think the full-text service is installed or loaded. I can't seem to find a reference to the full-text search feature to enable or install it. any ideas?

Newbie questions.
1. Can SQL Server 20005 Express do full text searches?
2. If not, is there a way to use SQL Server 20005 Express to search a database column containing text data type?
Using Visual Basic 2005 Express, I would like to do a simple search with a search textbox and button that will return the entire contents of a field of database text when one or more words in the search text box are in the field of text in the database.
I have been playing in Visual Basic 2005 Express and using SQL queries (SELECT, FROM, WHERE) to output to DataGridView controls by using ID columns as filters in the query, etc. This I can do. But I have not been able to use a word or phrase in the search textbox as a filtered query to output the entire database field of text which contains the search word or phrase in the search textbox.
Thanks for any help in getting me started with this.
Simple question, is it doable?
I tried once before and my machine was messed up.
Thanks
Hi all..
I tried too much to create FULL TEXT INDEX by using SQL Server 2005 Management Studio Express, it returns this ERR MSG:
Informational: No full-text supported languages found.
Informational: No full-text supported languages found.
Msg 7680, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Default full-text index language is not a language supported by full-text search
This problem dos not come when I use Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Management Studio, to create FULL TEXT INDEX!
My DB collation is: "Arabic_CI_AS"
But I don€™t need this, I can use English Language.
Please, what can I do?
If I develop my app in SQL Server 2005 Express, and then want to use a hosting service that only offers full SQL Server 2005, do I have to do some kind of conversion to my DB file, and if so, what might that be? (I notice that there are hosting services that provide SQL Server Express...I'd like to know how much work it would be to be able to use other services.)
Any guidance on this would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Hi everyone,
Can someone help me out in providing guidelines towards how to do full text indexing using sql server 2005 express edition?

We provide hardware and network support to a medical practice with 5 surgeons and 10 admin staff.
They are implementing a new medical practice software package which will hold all their business critical data including financials, patients, medical records etc. This runs on either SQL 2005 express or full SQL server.
The software vendor is proposing using SQL express only as the database will be << 4Gb
We are not application or database skilled and have concerns that the medical practice may not be getting the best advise from the software vendor.
Is SQL express just as robust and safe for critical data as the full SQL server database ? Technical €śgut feel€? is that it can€™t be or MS would not sell many licenses.
Comments would be appreciated. It is hard for us to suggest using a full SQL database unless there is a substantiated reason.
SQL Server 2005 full version is installed on a server computer. I installed MS VS 2005 Express edition on the server. As VS 2005 Express edition can only access to SQL Server 2005 Express edition, so a SQL Server 2005 Express edition has to be installed on the server. I wonder if both SQL Server 2005 full version and Express edition can be installed in the same computer.
Thanks,

Hi all,
I am using Visual web developper 2005 with sql server express 2005 and i have also sql server management studio express. it's all free now .
my web site is ready
I didn't have problem to upload my site to my hoster.

How can i do it ?
NB: I know i can't design DB (create/modify tables and stored proc) with express edition
thank's for your help
I have upgraded a SBS 2003 MSDE database (instance MSSQL$SHAREPOINT) to SQL Server 2005 Express Advanced Edition. This worked without a problem even when I enabled all the options for the upgrade including Full-text search.
I now want to have Full-text search on this instance of SQL 2005 with database name of STS_EVEREST_1.
I first tried to use the T-SQL command of "CREATE FULLTEXT CATALOG BBVisionCatalog AS DEFAULT;"
I now know that the original database was created under SQL 2000 and therefore I needed to use SQL 2000 commands. So I used the following script:
USE STS_EVEREST_1
EXEC sp_fulltext_database 'enable'
EXEC sp_fulltext_catalog 'BBVisionCatalog', 'create';
It produced the following ERROR messages:
(1 row(s) affected)
Msg 7609, Level 17, State 2, Procedure sp_fulltext_database, Line 46
Full-Text Search is not installed, or a full-text component cannot be loaded.
I checked to see if the Microsoft Search Service was running. It was running.
Anyone know how I can fix this?

I've downloaded SQL Server Express with Advanced Services from http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/sql/download/ and installed all components. When I try to create a full-text catalog, I get the following message:
No full-text supported languages found.
select * from sys.fulltext_languages
returns no lines.
How
can neutral, English or maybe Hungarian word breakers be installed?
Thanks
Hi. I'm trying to get full-text search working on my SQL 2005 Express with Advanced Services and am having problems. I thought that I installed it correctly, and when I look in the services running, I see it SQL Server Fulltext Search(MSSQLSERVER). Also note that I have SQL Server 2005 Standard installed on this same laptop. I don't know if that Full text Search applies to the Standard, Express or both.
What I do see is that if I connect to the database engine named <mylaptop>, I can see the version is 9.0.1399 and I can see the check box to enable full-text indexing in a particular databases properties. When I run SELECT FULLTEXTSERVICEPROPERTY('IsFullTextInstalled'), I get a 1.
However, when I connect to the engine name <mylaptop>SQLExpress, I se the version is 9.0.3042, and I don't see the same check-box to enable full-text indexing. When I run SELECT FULLTEXTSERVICEPROPERTY('IsFullTextInstalled'), I get a 0.
I've never tried this before so I know I'm probably missing something basic. But, I have searched quite a bit and not found my answer. So, I'm looking to you for help.
Thanks in advance.
John.
I have a basic question to ask:
I have two server both showing SQL server 2005 installed. One of them is a licensed SQL server 2005 and the other is a express edition.
I am trying to find out which one in is express and which is the full licensed version.
I checked at the control pane and they both show up as SQL server 2005. The directory structure at Program Files looks the same.
Please help me.
Thanks,

Hi,
A couple of questions on the Full-Text feature of SQL Express.
I am currently developing a site, and am using Express as my database, though I will be using a standard version of 2005 when I get to go live. The full text on express as I understand is limited to one column per table. On sql 2005, can I index multiple columns to one collection, and then search that?
The main question i have is concerning creating a collection that works. I have created a catalog, and received no errors so that seems fine. Then I created an index, using a column which contain nvarchar data. This also seems fine. I used the templates provided to achieve all this. When I try to use the 'Start Full Population' template I get this message : 'Request to start a full-text index population on table or indexed view 'tbl_indexme_locale' is ignored because a population is currently active for this table or indexed view'.
If I execute 'SELECT * FROM sys.fulltext_indexes' there is one result, and it appears to have completed a full crawl in a manner of seconds. is_enabled =1.
The problem Im having is that when I execute a command like this :
select * from tbl_indexme_locale
where overview like '%mason%'
I get results, but the following :
SELECT *
FROM tbl_indexme_locale
WHERE CONTAINS(overview, 'mason') ;
GO
returns no records, when it obviously should. Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks,
C
Hi,
I have enabled full-text indexing for my database in SQL Express. I have also managed to select which column I would like to perform FT searching on in the 'Modify table' section. However when I run a Freetext/Contains query nothing gets returned.
I have rebooted my machine as instrcuted in previous threads! Unfortunately I am totally new to all this and have no idea what the steps are to carrying out this task.
Do I need to populate my full-text catalogue? If so how can I do this?
Also Do I need to index this table as well? again I'm mythed on how to do this.
Any help / direction much appreciated!
Cheers
I am following the how to in the sql studio management express and for text indexing it says
================================================
To enable a database for full-text indexing
In Object Explorer, expand the server group, right-click the database for which you want to enable full-text indexing, and then select Properties.
Select the Files page, and then select Use full-text indexing
This worked ok
==================================================
next it says to
==================================================
To enable a table for full-text indexing
Expand the server group, expand Databases, expand User Databases, and expand the database that contains the table you want to enable for full-text indexing.
Right-click the table that you want to enable for full-text indexing.
Select Full-Text index, and then click Enable Full-Text indexing.
do support full-text searching for sql server 2005 express edition?
thanks,mohsen
Hello !
When I try to search into a database table I get the following error :
Cannot use a CONTAINS or FREETEXT predicate on table or indexed view 'Customers' because it is not full-text indexed.
Please tell me how can I make the index.
I am using SQL Server Express 2005,VWD 2008 and WIN XP.
Thank You !
Hi Everybody,
Since SQL 2005 express doesn't support full text search... is there any third party that provides FTS for the express version?
Thank YOU
I'm planning to transport a desktop application to the web. A spin-off ofthis application has already been put on the web by another programmer. Heused ColdFusion with MS SQL, Access, VC, and Java. It is faster than thedesktop application (written in VFP).1. Can I get the same results using MS SQL Express Advanced and Access forthe internet version if used with .net?2. Are the select statements limited in power, accuracy, size, etc. for MSSQL Express Advanced when compared to SQL?3. If Access will perform poorly, can VFP be used instead with .net? Ialready know it can't be used with ColdFusion. 4. If MS Express Advancedwill not sufficiently replace SQL, will MySQL do the job better?Thanks
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have conflicting info about whether SQL 2005 Express contains full-text search and catalogueing functionality.

hi,
im pretty new to sql server
I created a database with full text enabled, I created the indexes and queried the db in managment studio express and everything worked great.
when i try the same thing from within vc# it tells me that i have to enable fulltext indexing and create an index before i can use CONTAINS
what do i need to do to make my already fully functional fulltext indexes work from within vc# express 2005
thanks
I have seenfound several posts about Full text Search and looked at the BOL but havn't found a simple how-to. If anyone could point me to or post instructions on configuring Full Text Search in SQL Express W/ Adv Services it would be great.
So far I have completed the following:
Created my database using SQL Expr w/ Adv Services.Database is monted in a SQL server instance not a user instance.In SMSE under database>properties>files checked the box "Use full-text indexing".What now. I have seen posts referncing using the template explorer in SMSE and the Full Text Index templates.
I see four templates in my template explorer related to FTS .
Create Full-text Catalog
Create Full-text Index
Start Full Population
Stop Population
My understanding is that you get 1 catalog per database and you can create 1 index per table in that database. The catalog is a container for the indexices.
Are the templates just generic sql statements to provide an example of what to run? I would like to see some examples specific to SQL Express.
I am using SQL Server 2005 Express Edition (with Visual Studio 2005). I want to set up a full-text index. I am using the following query in Management Studio Express:
<CODE>
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX ui_Products ON Products(ProductID);
CREATE FULLTEXT CATALOG ft AS DEFAULT;
CREATE FULLTEXT INDEX ON Products(CatalogText) KEY INDEX ui_Products;
GO
</CODE>
I get the following error:
Msg 7609, Level 17, State 100, Line 3
Full-Text Search is not installed, or a full-text component cannot be loaded.
How do I install full-text search?
I'm using the Full text functionality of SQL 2005 Express Advanced and it works well.
However, the first time a query is run it take 20 seconds or so to actually return the search results. Thereafter, the search results are almost immediate.
That would be fine, except that if no further search is performed for approx 15 minutes or so, then we are back to the first scenario where it takes 20 seconds to return the results.
I assume this means that the full text catalog is not being held in cache at the server? Is there anyway to force it to do this?
My first thoughts were that Full Text within 2005 was an excellent tool, but if the first search always takes a long time then I will have to re-think as I can be sure that customers will get extremely annoyed at the response.
Do you know if there is any way around this or if there are any fixes imminent for this problem.....indeed, is it a problem or am I missing a fundamental setup issue?
What would be the implications if I created a small console application to perform a full text search once every minute at the server to keep the index cached?
many thanks

im having an issue with sql server 2005 express on a test box. in recent testing, ive encountered errors with the database that i havent encountered before. im trying to use an app to add records to some tables in a database, 1 record at a time. but in doing so i get this
"The transaction log for database 'ScanOrder2' is full. To find out why space in the log cannot be reused, see the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases"
with every insert of a record.
this process was working fine 2 days ago and i cant find anything
thats been changed.
- i deleted the database and tried restoring it from a backup that is
known to work, but still has the issue
- the recovery model is set to simple. every night a batch script is
run to truncate the log file in case there is a transaction that uses
a lot of records
- i can insert and delete records manually with no problems (ie going
in through SSMSE and highlighting a row and deleting it or adding
random data) but i still cant add it through the app
- the log file is set to autogrow unrestricted at 10 megs at a time.
- i even tried setting the log file to 500 megs starting size, and
still couldnt even insert 1 record
- when i check the log_reuse_wait_desc, it says NOTHING, when not
running and while running.
is there any other setting i could be missing that might attribute to
this?

What is the Difference between the SQL Server Express Bundled with C#/VB VS the downloadable SQL Server Express SP1 with advanced Services?
I installed C# with SQL Server Express, however I wanted to add the Full Text Searching and the SQL Server Management Studio Express, so I downloaded and installed the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services SP1. When I installed it over top of my current installation, it complained of version mismatching, and then C# failed to recognize that I had SQL 2005 Express installed at all.
What I'd like to know is, which version is more current (they have to be different, they had different version numbers, one was 9.xx.xxxx the other was 2005.9.xx.xxxx) The one bundled with C#, or the SP1 downloadable one.
Firstly, I want to be up todate as far as security patches, and Secondly, how do I add the full text searching and SSMSE to the one bundled with C# without breaking it.
