Hi there,i am having some problem related to SQL server........ Actually i am having a table called ZipCodes that have around 80,000 rows... and the size of the table is around 100 MB...... and my table is now on web Server,. now my problem is that when i fire some query that needs to go through whole of the table then it estimated time to execute the query comes to be 13 seconds and the corsor threshold is set to 7 seconds (and i can't change that)....... so the SQL server cancels the query to be fired........Now i need some Methodology/Technique through which i can search Large Tables with minimum calculations in minimum Time............(Any Ideas)....

Hi again!
I have a products table with product attributes in a second table,
together they describe a full product. I have a product title, a
list of providers, description text, and keywords. I would like
to do a search across these fields, and so far my research has shown
that the Full Text Search component of SQL Server is the way to
go. However, I am not sure this will be possible based on what is
installed on the hosted server, so I am wondering if there is a unique,
cool way of doing this without Full Text Search?
Thanks,
jr.
Hi:
I need to search all user written SPs which have particular text in them. One way to do it is to open each SP in some notepad or word processor and search for the particular text.Is there any efficient way to do it ??

Im building up a query in my code behind. When I execute this query it returns a list of users who match the criteria.BUT, I want to add something extra. In my DB in the tblUserData there's a field "interests" datatype nvarchar(30) which contains the numbers (comma-delimited) of the interestsID in my tblInterests. For example, my interestsfield may contain something like: 1,4,8Now if someone wants to find someone who has number 4 and 8 as interests, how can I search in this textfield?!?I wrote this in a SP, but I'd really like it to be possible from code-behind and build the query myself...declare @s varchar(20)set @s='4,8'EXEC('SELECT * FROM tblUserData WHERE Interests in ('+@s+')')

I`ve just starting playing around with version 7.0 and was wondering if anyone knows how to implement the Full-text Searching feature. Its sound like a neat feature if I could just get it to work.
Thanks in advance

I've assumed responsibilty for a sqlserver 2000 that has many databases and has only 1 database that uses full text searching. That 1 application now wishes for me to update the noise words file to remove the single characters.
As far as I can tell, no other application is using the full text searching since I don't see any catalogs created for any of them.
So, if no other databases and applications in this sqlserver have catalogs created for them, can I safely assume that changing the noise words file will not impact any of them even if the other databases do have text fields in some tables?
Everyone seems to think this needs something elaborate:
CREATE PROCEDURE sp_FindText @text varchar(8000), @findtype varchar(1)='P' AS
SET NOCOUNT ON
IF @findtype='P' SELECT DISTINCT Len(SubString(text,1, PatIndex('%' + @text + '%', text)))-Len(Replace(SubString(text,1, PatIndex('%' + @text + '%', text)),char(13),''))+1 AS Line,
--PatIndex('%' + @text + '%', text) AS Position,
OBJECT_NAME(id) AS ProcName
FROM syscomments
WHERE text like '%' + @text + '%'
ORDER BY ProcName, Line
IF @findtype='C' EXEC('SELECT TABLE_NAME + ''.'' + COLUMN_NAME AS TableColumn FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE COLUMN_NAME LIKE ''%' + @text + '%'' ORDER BY TableColumn')
IF @findtype='T' EXEC('SELECT TABLE_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE TABLE_NAME LIKE ''%' + @text + '%'' ORDER BY TABLE_NAME')
GO
It not only searches procedure and view definition text, it will also find tables, views, and column names:
EXEC sp_FindText 'myTable' --or-- EXEC sp_FindText 'myTable', 'P' --finds procedures/views containing 'myTable' in their definition/code
EXEC sp_FindText 'myTable', 'T' --finds tables/views containing 'myTable' in their name
EXEC sp_FindText 'myCol', 'C' --finds columns containing 'myCol' in their name
It's pretty easy to modify and extend, and probably doesn't need dynamic SQL either. It returns line numbers for views and procedures, but these can be incorrect if the procedure or view contains over 4000 characters of code. It does not search tables for values, it's strictly for finding object names.
Hi i am really new to full text searching, I have created a catalog using:
sp_fulltext_catalog 'textcatalog','create'
and now i want to add a table with:
sp_fulltext_table 'Product', 'create','textcatalog', 'ProductID'
where product is a table in my database and productID is the primary key to that table. The primary key cannot be null,
But i get an error:
'ProductID' is not a valid index to enforce a full-text search key. You must specify a unique, non-nullable, single-column index.
Can any one point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance

Hi
I've used CONTAINS on a varchar field.
in SQL SERVER 2000
the query was "Select name from description where CONTAINS(name,' "donot*" ')
say if I search for "Select name from description where CONTAINS(name,' "donot a*" ')
---it doesn't return rows.
as might be it is seeing that 'a' as the starting letter of AND key word which is used in CONTAINS
but how to tell that it is my next letter in the search
Really I need more clarity on this...
Thanxs in advance
Maybe a totally newbie question - I need to find some text in SQL database, I have no idea in which table it may be. Can I do it through SQL Management Studio 2005 or do I need some other utility? What would you suggest then?
Thanks.
Are there any plans to add full-text searching capability to SQLCE? I know it's available in SQL Server Express but it would still be useful for an embedded/desktop application -- SQLite recently added this.

Hi,
I was wondering when is it worth using Full Text Searching as opposed to using LIKE? Also, since I will be using third party for hosting my site, generally, do hosts support Full Text Searching?
Thanks!
I'm wrtiting a local site search egine but I need to make use of functions like FREETEXTABLE
for instance. In order to use this I have to have the' Full Text Search
table' enabled for a table. Now the Microsoft Search Service is running
in MSDE; of that I'm sure. However when I try to enable the full text
searching on a table or database the option that I'm supposed to choose
is grayed out which means I can't select it. What's wrong? What do I
have to do to be able to use that option? I' short of time and would
appreciate n answer a.s.a.p. Thanks
I have been trying to write a query that will allow me to search through text fields. This is a problem because SQL doesn't let me use any functions on TEXT datatypes.
When I was using access I did it like this:
where upper(searchtext) like ('%SEARCHSTRING%')
However UPPER doesn't work on text fields (I want the search to be case insensitive)
I tried this:
where patindex(searchtext, '%SEARCHSTRING%') <> 0
but that is not case-insensitive...
Help me SQL gurus, you are my only hope
hello friends..
do indexing and full text searching needs cideamon.exe ?

I am very new to SQL and Access projects.
I have created the full text catalogs for my tables, so that I can search all the tables at the same time, from any of the fields in the catalogs.
I have created the following procedure:-
create procedure usp_full_text(@findtext varchar(255))
as
select set_id as URN, input_date as date_of_record from set_records where freetext (*, @findtext)
There are a few union selects under this, but
If I search for perhapse 'SMITH' from within access, then this will bring back all the records which have smith in them somewhere, which is good, however if I repeat the search for 'smit' then I get no records returned.
How can I change the code to find the parts of words, or string of charactors, and how can I set this to do a soundex search?
Hopefully all this is possible, i just need pointers on how to achieve this, or I could be sat there for days.
Many thanks for any help you can offer.
do support full-text searching for sql server 2005 express edition?

Hope I am in the correct section.
I am installing a FTS system on an existing system (that used LIKE % queries!! hahaha)
Anyway, it is working pretty well (AND FAST!) but when I type in a
common word like "damage" I get like 32,000 records. Now, the
server handles those records in about one second but the ASP page that
returns the results takes about one MINUTE to download. When I
save the source, it is almost 12 MEGS!!
So, basically, I am streaming 12 megs across the pipe and I want to reduce that.
I would like the system to detect over maybe 500 records and cancel the search.
I have put a "TOP 500" into the search and that actually works pretty well but is there a better/smarter method?
Thanks!

But somethign happens overnight and in the morning the sproc times out. While running (even from a new query window on the SQL 2005 server itself) it utilizes 100% CPU until it times out.
When I pass default parameters to the sproc (not using any part of the query that uses Full Text) the sproc returns every record in the database very quickly. No hang ups.
But the moment I add any text in say the @ORKeywords parameter, for example, the sproc utilizes 100% CPU for maybe 15 seconds and then times out.
By accident I discovered that I can fix this temporarily by copying the database. I don't use the new copy or anything. Just the act of copying the database fixes it. The sproc then executes normally, and quickly. But the next morning it's back to slow again.
Note, over night I am adding about 1000 records to the table.
Would automatic updates to the FT Catalog choke on 1000 records?
Also note that one of the fields being cataloged is a "Text" field (blob). Would that cause this?
Would what text is being added to the table matter? What if an invalid character was added (like some european character or a control character)? Would FT indexing hang up on that?
I am at a loss.

Hi!
I found a problem while retrieving/searching/filtering Myanmar Text with a Select Statement, In a Myanmar Text table there in a column called HeadWords.
It's Sample Data
HWID,HeadWords
1,|က|
2,|ကာ|
3,|ကိ|
4,|ကီ|
5,|ကဲ|
I want to make the following search:
SELECT * FROM TableName WHERE HeadWords LIKE '%|က|%' this should give me all entries that have a "|က|" *ANY* place in the HeadWords column. Right?
However, it gives me unproper results. you may see last two records have 2 characters between pipe(|).
HWID,HeadWords
1,|က|
3,|ကိ|
5,|ကဲ|
Since the wildcard character % means no or all characters it should work. And I've tried pipe, comma, forward slash and back slash.
The problem only seems to occur when the wildcard character is used for the any part of character. Let me know alternative way to search that matters. I've tried in MSAccess. There are same problem like MSSQL.
It's any problem in searching support for National Characters (UTF8). I've tried in OpenOffice Database with those data.
It's work fine.
If you not see Myanmar characters, please download fonts from http://www.fontmm.com/font_downloads.htm
Does anybody have an explanation to this, please let me know.
Thanks in advance!

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
