I have three input fields that I want to pass the values into a stored procedure.
It is not requried to enter in all three text boxes. What would be the best way to go about ignoring the other two text boxes if only one text box has input when trying to build the select statement
I was just wondering if anyone could tell me how to do a search for a partial data match. Say one data field is 123, 234, 345, 456 and another is 111, 222, 333, 444 and another is 555, 666, 777, 888 and I want to search for the unique number 234 but not the whole number 123, 234, 345, 456 ... is there any way to do that or does every search have to be exactly like the data in the field?
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
I have a SQL server 2005 database with a series of multiple fields. One of the fields has a array of strings seperated by semi-colons like so: Red;Green;Blue
My question is, how can i run a query on all of the fields that have the value of say Green in it. Note that these values vary in different order and numbers.
Thanks
I am trying to set up a query that will allow the user to input a string, and the search will match ANY word in that string. Currently, I have it configured so that the search will only match the exact string that the user inputs. I have google searched for the answer, but no luck yet. Any ideas?

I have been banging my head against a brick wall with this for a couple of days now. I am wrighting a custom front end for one of our SQLServer DB's and need to run a select agains the DateTime Field. The field Format is [DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM:SS]. I am tring to get the select to pull all the records on a set date only (keeping the time available but not selecting against it) so that the brass can see at what time on a given day an action was performed. Problem is, the way the programing software works, I can only build the SQL using string information. I have tried CONVERT and CAST both ways (converting the date to varchar and converting the string to date and also converting them both at the same time). Everything that I have tried returns an empty data set when used with the WHERE LIKE criteria (oh yeah, I'm also using LIKE % wildecards to retrive all the times against a specific date) but does populate when no filter is applied.
This is where my SQL is at just now:
SELECT Files.FileID, Useres.UserName, FileStatusLog.StatusCode, FileStatusLog.StatusDate
FROM (Files INNER JOIN FileStatusLog ON Files.FileID = FileStatusLog.FileID) INNER JOIN Users ON FileStatusLog.UserID = Users.UserID
WHERE (((CONVERT(varchar(10), FileStatusLog.StatusDate,103) LIKE '%{variable}%'));
This also returns an emtpy data set when the LIKE is replaced with ='{exact date entry in format: DD/MM/YYYY}', but does return the full table when the WHERE is removed and also when the LIKE is set to just a bare '%' with no other filter values.
Because of the fact that the results are returned when LIKE '%' is used I am not even sure if it is the CONVERT that is causing the problem. I have even tried assigning the escape character manualy to '+' incase the / values of the date in the LIKE variable where escaping other characters. Needless to say this did not make life any better.
As you may have noticed already SQL is not exactly my strong suit, but no one else here even knows what it is, never mind what it's used for, so I got droped with the task. Also - The DB was created by a third party so I have no write permissions to the DB.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated as it's gotten personal now
Thaks in advance for any assistance
I am attempting to find quotes (") in a column and replace with the string '--THIS-WAS-QUOTES--'. Right now my script only converts the first quote it finds in the description column, converts to the string and moves to the next row leaving the other quotes as they were. Below is my query script
DECLARE @find varchar(8000),
@replace varchar(8000),
@patfind varchar(8000)
SELECT @find = '"',
@replace = '--THIS-WAS-QUOTES--'
SELECT @patfind = '%' + @find + '%'

SET description = STUFF(convert( varchar(8000), description ),
PATINDEX( @patfind, description ),

MS SQL 2000. Does anyone know how to find all rows where an nvarchar column contains a specific unicode character? Is it possible without creating a user defined function? Here's the issue. I have a table Expression (ExpID, ExpText) with values like 'x < 100' and 'y ≤ 200'. where the second example contains Unicode character 8804 [that is, nchar(8804)]. Because it's unicode, I don't seem to be able to search for it with LIKE or PATINDEX. These fail:
SELECT * FROM Expression WHERE ExpText LIKE '%≤%' -- no recordsSELECT * FROM Expression WHERE PATINDEX('%≤%', ExpText) -- no records
However, SELECT PATINDEX('%≤%', 'y ≤ 200') will return 3.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
i am trying to search an SQL database to retrieve all names from employee table who have a birthday today. this needs to automatically fill in the date parameter with the system date. this is what i have so far:
sub page_load(sender as object, e as eventargs)
dtmDate=DateTime.Now.ToString("M")
con = New SqlConnection("Server=Localhost;UID=******;PWD=*****;Database=Pubs")
cmd = New SqlCommand("Select fname, lname From Employee where dob='& dtmDate'", con)
con.open()
dtrBday = cmd.ExecuteReader()
rptBday.DataSource=dtrBday
rptBday.DataBind()
dtrBday.Close()
I know this isnt quite right. i get errors when it hits my repeater.
the error i am getting is :Syntax error converting string to smalldatetime data type.
if someone could give me a push in the right direction here it would be greatly appreciated.
I'm just wonder if this is a bug in MS Search or am I doing something wrong.
I have a query below
declare @search_clause varchar(255)
set @Search_Clause = ' "hepatitis b" and "hepatocellular carcinoma"'
select * from results
where contains(finding,@search_clause)
I don't get the correct result at all.
If I change my search_clause to "hepatitis" and "hepatocellular carcinoma -- without the "b"
then i get the correct result.
It seems MS Search doesn't like the phrase contain one letter or some sort or is it a know bug?
Anyone know?
Thanks
Hi - I'm short of SQL experience and hacking my way through creating a simple search feature for a personal project. I would be very grateful if anyone could help me out with writing a stored procedure. Problem: I have two tables with three columns indexed for full-text search. So far I have been able to successfully execute the following query returning matching row ids: dbo.Search_Articles @searchText varchar(150) AS SELECT ArticleID FROM articles WHERE CONTAINS(Description, @searchText) OR CONTAINS(Title, @searchText) UNION SELECT ArticleID FROM article_pages WHERE CONTAINS(Text, @searchText); RETURN This returns the ArticleID for any articles or article_pages records where there is a text match. I ultimately need the stored procedure to return all columns from the articles table for matches and not just the StoryID. Seems like maybe I should try using some kind of JOIN on the result of the UNION above and the articles table? But I have so far been unable to figure out how to do this as I can't seem to declare a name for the result table of the UNION above. Perhaps there is another more eloquent solution? Thanks! Peter
View 3 Replies View RelatedOur clients want to be able to do full text search with a single letter. (Is the name Newton, Nathan, Nick?, Is the ID N1, N2...). Doing a single character full text search on a table work 25 out of 26 times. The letter that doesn't work is 'n'. the WHERE clause CONTAINS(full_text_field, ' "n*" ') returns all rows, even rows that have no 'n' in them anywhere. Adding a second letter after the "n" works as expected.
Here is an example
create table TestFullTextSearch (
Id int not null,
AllText nvarchar(400)
)
create unique index test_tfts on TestFullTextSearch(Id);
create fulltext catalog ftcat_tfts;
[Code] ....
I have a scenario of where the standard Full-Text search identifies keywords but Semantic Search does not recognize them as keywords. I'm hoping to understand why Semantic Search might not recognize them. The context this is being used in medical terminology and the specific key words I noticed missing right off the bat were medications.
For instance, if I put the following string into a FT indexed table
'J9355 - Trastuzumab (Herceptin)'
AND
'J9355 - Trastuzumab emtansine'
The Semantic Search recognized 'Herceptin' and 'Emtansine' but not 'Trastuzumab'
Nor in
'J8999 - Everolimus (Afinitor)'
It did not recognize 'Afinitor' as a keyword.
In all cases the Base of Full-Text did find those keywords and were identifiable using the dmvsys.dm_fts_index_keywords_by_document.It does show the index as having completed.
why certain words might not be picked up while others would be? Could it be a language/dictionary issue? I am using English and accent insensitive settings?
would you use sql server "full text search" feature as your site index? from some reason i can't make index server my site search catalog, and i wonder if the full text is the solution. i think that i wll have to you create new table called some thing like "site text" and i will need to write every text twice- one the the table (let's say "articles table") and one to the text. other wise- there is problems finding the right urlof the text, searching different tables with different columns name and so on...
so i thought create site search table, with the columns:
id, text, url
and to write every thing to this table.
but some how ot look the wrong way, that every forum post, every article, album picture or joke will insert twice to the sqr server...
what do you think?

Please help me to create an SQL Server 2000 Stored Procedure for using prefix and suffix terms.
Example:
Say I want to find "Terminator" (1984).
I want to be able to use "Term" or "ator" as search results and still return the proper record.
Here is my Stored Procedure creation sql:
CREATE PROCEDURE sps_searchTitles(@searchTerm varchar(255)) AS
SELECT * FROM Video
WHERE FREETEXT (Video.*, '"*@searchTerm*"')
GO
--- The above does not appear to properly check both prefix ("Term---") and suffix ("---ator") terms.
I am trying to accomplish what is similarly done with LIKE '%term%'.

I have a table that contains words that will be used to search another table where FullText index has been created on searchable columns. I'm basically trying to run something like this:
SELECT t1.col1, t2.col3
FROM tbl1 t1, tbl2 t2
WHERE CONTAINS (t1.col1, t2.col1)
I know this won't work but is there a way to join these two tables so the words (t2.col1) can be passed as search conditions? There is no common key on both tables so normal join won't work. I'm trying to find a way to pass the search words from one table to another.
I have Sql server 2005 SP2.
I enabled it for Full Text search. Substring search where i enter *word* doesn't return any row.
I have a table testtable where description has word Extinguisher.
If i run a query with *ting* it doesn't return any row.
select * from testtable where contains(description,'"*xting*"') ;
But it works if i do
select * from testtable where contains(description,'"Exting*"') ;
The Full text search document says it supports substring search.
Is it an issue with sql server 2005?Please help.
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:
123.345
123.345
123.345.444
123.345.555
123.345.666
123.345.444.777
123.345.444.888
123.345.555.999
I am trying this query:
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.%';
Can anyone tell me how to search an SQL database for a given key word in a textbox? I basically have a database that has a qualifications column and this column needs to be searched for the data given in the textbox. Which is the best method to search for the data? Is it a simple SQL query or an XML based search engine type? Can anyone give any suggestions regarding this? If XML is efficient then how do I use it to query my database, as I'm pretty new in XML based searching.Thanks

My site uses a text box to allow visitors to search products. I'm trying to design the SQL Statement to allow search's on full words, part words, and words/phrases regardless of the order the words are in.
E.g.
megger
meg
mft megger (proper order in the database is megger mft)
mft1710 (using 1710 should find the product)
This is my select statement (classic ASP)
Code:
<%
Dim RSResults__param5
RSResults__param5 = "xxx"
If (Request("searchme") <> "") Then
RSResults__param5 = Request("searchme")
End If

Are there any big differences between the two search techniques? It seems like they are both very similar.
SELECT * FROM TABLE1 WHERE TEXTFIELD1 LIKE '%DATABASES%'
SELECT * FROM TABLE1 WHERE CONTAINS (TEXTFIELD1 ,' "DATABASES" ')
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
