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.
I have a table with 9 fields that I need to check. I want to check if "text1" and "text2" is in any of thoose 9 fields. But I dont want to check the combination of "text1" and "text2" in the same column. I want for example be able to check if "text1" is in column 1 to 9 and if "text2" is in column 1 to 9. Can someone give me a suggestion on how to do this?

I'm writing a FTS query which needs to search on two different columns.
E.g. Table contains "Location" and "LocationDescription" columns. Both columns are FT indexed. The query also uses AND/OR operators to filter out the results.
I found the following article which gives the solution to the same problem. Link: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;286787 Is this problem associated with SQL Server 2005 also?
Making a third column which hold data from first two column is the only solution or is there any other way to acheive better results?
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.
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.
Hi,I am using MS SQL server 2005 and wondering how to sort my results by rank using FREETEXT on multiple columns. Is there a way to do this? My two colums are:title and description
Hi everyone. I am updating a table with aggregate results for multiplecolumns. Below is an example of how I approached this. It works finebut is pretty slow. Anyone have an idea how to increase performance.Thanks for any help.UPDATE #MyTableSET HireDate=(Select Min(Case When Code = 'OHDATE' then DateChangedelse null end)From HREHWhere #MyTable.HRCo=HREH.HRCo and#MyTable.HRRef=HREH.HRRef ),TerminationDate=(select Max(Case When Type = 'N' thenDateChanged else null end)From HREHWhere #MyTable.HRCo=HREH.HRCo and#MyTable.HRRef=HREH.HRRef ),ReHireDate=(select MAX(Case When Code = 'HIRE' thenDateChanged else null end)From HREHWhere #MyTable.HRCo=HREH.HRCo and #MyTable.HRRef=HREH.HRRef )
I am using Sql Server 2014 Express edition.I have a table with a varchar(max) column. I have created a full text search that use the stoplist "system". column has this struct: xxx.yyy.zzz.... where xxx, yyy, zzz... are numbers, like 123.345.123123.366456...I can have rows like that:
select * from Mytable where contains(MyColumn, '123.345.')
I gues the contains would return all the rows with column contains 123.345, but this does not return all the expected rows, only one row.I have tried to replace "." with "-" but the result is the same.I have also tried with '123.345.*. In this case I have got more results, but no all the exptected rows.If I use this query:
select * from MyTable where MyCOlumn like '123.345.%';
Hi guys I need to create an "advanced search" which will allow the user to narrow down his results. Ideally I'd want him/her to use the same search criteria form for each iteration, with a checkbox called "Search within results" type of thing. Now what I was wondering if there was any existing literature on how to effectively do this. I have tried doing it just through SQL Statements but they are becoming very messy and large. Is it possible to do this by searching the initial dataset, returning dataset #2 and then if a 3rd "search within results" is done apply the search against dataset #2 and return dataset #3 etc? Many Thanks John
I'm trying to create an email report which gives a result of multiple results from multiple databases in a table format bt I'm trying to find out if there is a simple format I can use.Here is what I've done so far but I'm having troble getting into html and also with the database column:
Hello! I am using this code to search the database but for some reason it's not liking the parameter I put there. Here is my code that works great with no parameters: protected void getBusinessInfo() { DataSet ds; ds = SqlHelper.ExecuteDataset(connection, "spBusinessInfoSearch"); gvSearch.DataSource = ds; gvSearch.DataBind(); } protected void btnSearch_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { getBusinessInfo(txtName.Text); } Here is what I put in the stored procedure: ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.spBusinessInfoSearch
ASSELECT * from vwUserprofileInfo where DisplayName like '%Eric%'
RETURN Now, when I used the same code with paramers nothing is returned. protected void getBusinessInfo(string param1) { DataSet ds; ds = SqlHelper.ExecuteDataset(connection, "spBusinessInfoSearch", new SqlParameter("@DisplayName", param1)); gvSearch.DataSource = ds; gvSearch.DataBind(); } protected void btnSearch_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { getBusinessInfo(txtName.Text); }
Can anyone suggest whey I dont get any results with this search?

I need some help with a query. I have a table with inventory that Ineed to allow customer searches on. Based on their search criteria, apreference level is calculated; the higher the preference level, thehigher on the order on the search results.The hard part is when the results are supposed to be limited to amaximum number of stores and items. Let's say that they only want tosee 3 stores and a max of 5 items per store. What needs to bereturned is the 3 stores with the best Preference and the 5 best itemsat each store.Create Table Inventory( StoreId int, ItemId int, Preference int )
Hi guys,As the title shows, i would like to learn how to return ranked results, and be able to order by relevance/rank. I am currently using SQL2000, though the final site may be going live with SQL2005. The data i am searching against is in tables, not Indexed files.I have no idea where to start......Does it have somthing to do with the amount of times the keywords appear? any help would be greatRegardsDarren
I'm busy writing a local site search engine that searches through a sql server database and I want to know how or what is the correct sql syntax to use in order to limit the amount of results a page loads at a time? The idea is obviously similar to something like google where you only see a certain amount of results first and then click at the botom for the next eg. 10 results.
The second question is how do I, after the first page with the first set of results that were shown, "clear" the second page of the previous html in order to show the next set of results? To give you an idea what my code looks like at the moment. Please don't kill me if the code is done a bit a lame, because I'm still learning.
resTextDescription2 = "myFile.txt does not exist!"; }
//determine whether male or female in order to display correct sign if ( resGender == "Male") resGender = "Male_sign_1.jpg"; else resGender = "Female_sign_1.jpg";
//determine whether 'want' and 'have' children and convert to correct words for display if ( resHaveChildren == "have kids" ) resHaveChildren = "Yes"; else resHaveChildren = "No";
//create a connection conClient = new SqlConnection( @"Server=THALIONTHALION;Integrated Security=SSPI;database=DateGame" );
//select statement strSelect = "Select userName From [client] Where userName=@username and userPassword=@userpassword"; cmdSelect = new SqlCommand( strSelect, conClient );
i know this is a bit of a shot in the dark but, does anybody know of a reasonably understandable way to rank XML node path results based on keyword search terms? seems like there are tons of uber-complex docs on the internet about this. i dont mind if it is a bit of a work-around, i am just looking for something that is reasonable non-complex that i can wrap my mind around. links etc apprecaited.
I am not aware of this if it exists in MS SQL server. But I need to return results in alphabetic order ignoring "The" if it's the first word of a title...
so for example title "The Cliffhanger" would be returned along with other titles that start with letter C, but "The" also must be returned as part of the title, but just ignored while alphabetizing.
I'm sure that I'm not the first one to ever need this and don't want to re-invent the wheel, so if you have any ideas as to the best way to accomplish this, help me out.
I want to break up a set of search results into small chunks. For instance, think about how Google displays a block of ten results out of the entire set. Selecting the top 10 is dead easy with "TOP 10"; how do I select the next 10?
Obviously one option would be to select the top 20, and programmatically discard the first 10, but surely there is a better way? I am doing this for a ASP.NET 2.0 application, and if I can retrieve just what I want, I can DataBind to a Repeater, and let ASP.NET do all the hard work of displaying the data.
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 ?
I have a business need to create a report by query data from a MS SQL 2008 database and display the result to the users on a web page. The report initially has 6 columns of data and 2 out of 6 have JSON data so the users request to have those 2 JSON columns parse into 15 additional columns (first JSON column has 8 key/value pairs and the second JSON column has 7 key/value pairs). Here what I have done so far:
I found a table value function (fnSplitJson2) from this link [URL]. Using this function I can parse a column of JSON data into a table. So when I use the function above against the first column (with JSON data) in my query (with CROSS APPLY) I got the right data back the but I got 8 additional rows of each of the row in my table. The reason for this side effect is because the function returned a table of 8 row (8 key/value pairs) for each json string data that it parsed.
1. First question: How do I modify my current query (see below) so that for each row in my table i got back one row with 19 columns.
SELECT A.ITEM1,A.ITEM2,A.ITEM3,A.ITEM4, B.* FROM PRODUCT A CROSS APPLY fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM5,NULL) B
If updated my query (see below) and call the function twice within the CROSS APPLY clause I got this error: "The multi-part identifier "A.ITEM6" could be be bound.
2. My second question: How to i get around this error?
SELECT A.ITEM1,A.ITEM2,A.ITEM3,A.ITEM4, B.*, C.* FROM PRODUCT A CROSS APPLY fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM5,NULL) B, fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM6,NULL) C
I am using Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 version. Windows 7 desktop.
I'd like to first figure out the count of how many rows are not the Current Edition have the following:
Second I'd like to be able to select the primary key of all the rows involved
Third I'd like to select all the primary keys of just the rows not in the current edition
Not really sure how to describe this without making a dataset
CREATE TABLE [Project].[TestTable1]( [TestTable1_pk] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [Source_ID] [int] NOT NULL, [Edition_fk] [int] NOT NULL, [Key1_fk] [int] NOT NULL, [Key2_fk] [int] NOT NULL,
[Code] .....
Group by fails me because I only want the groups where the Edition_fk don't match...
Say I want to search for a range of account numbers but only which are active. After I set my field for A (active) this field shows in my results, I dont want it to.
In Access you can easily just uncheck that field in design view, but how do I do it in sql?
In sql server 2000 - our QA pointed out that his testing for empty strings returned 200 + rows but that when he clicked in the field there were obviously a space there. This issue came up because of the script I created to replace and earlier one that queried on empty strings instead of datalength and the earlier script always reported that it had updated x number of rows regardless of how many times it was run on the same database.
QA query based on the earlier script: Select * from StringTable WHERE (LongString = '' OR LongString IS NULL)
My script: The fields are nvarchars in the newer database but older version of the database had varchars. I had created a script to replace empty strings as follows:
-- if LongString column is varchar - run varchar update else nvarchar update If exists (Select * from sysobjects o inner join syscolumns c on c.id = o.id where c.name = 'LongString' and o.name = 'StringTable' and c.xtype = 167) begin
-- update varchar LongString UPDATE StringTable SET LongString = char(32) -- Select * from StringTable WHERE ((DATALENGTH(LongString ) < 1) OR LongString IS NULL)
END Else Begin
-- update nvarchar LongString UPDATE StringTable SET LongString = char(32) -- Select * from StringTable WHERE ((DATALENGTH(LongString ) < 2) OR LongString IS NULL)
END
If exists (Select * from sysobjects o inner join syscolumns c on c.id = o.id where c.name = 'ShortString' and o.name = 'StringTable' and c.xtype = 167) begin
UPDATE StringTable SET ShortString= char(32) -- Select * from StringTable WHERE ((DATALENGTH(ShortString) < 1) OR ShortString IS NULL)
END Else Begin
-- update nvarchar ShortString UPDATE StringTable SET ShortString= char(32) -- Select * from StringTable WHERE ((DATALENGTH(ShortString) < 2) OR ShortString IS NULL)
END
My method for checking for datalength appears to work correctly why doesn't the QA script? I thought it might have to do with the nvarchar used in the table but I changed the column to a varchar and still has the same issue.
I am facing a problem in writing the stored procedure for multiple search criteria.
I am trying to write the query in the Procedure as follows
Select * from Car where Price=@Price1 or Price=@price2 or Price=@price=3 and where Manufacture=@Manufacture1 or Manufacture=@Manufacture2 or Manufacture=@Manufacture3 and where Model=@Model1 or Model=@Model2 or Model=@Model3 and where City=@City1 or City=@City2 or City=@City3
I am Not sure of the query but am trying to get the list of cars that are to be filtered based on the user input.
