I need to build a search function for my site. So there is a single text box for the users to type in their search string. I have been asked that I need to break the user's search string into separate words. So if the user enters: "This is my search query", I need to break it into: "This" "is" "my" "search" "query" and then search for all these words.- Can I break a string into separet words using SQL?- How do I remove funny / dangerous characters from the search string?- If I have to break the search string using a programming language, I would have to run the search query for each word. If I run the search query for each word, How do I combine the search result for the user. For instance, if I search for "my" and find some result, then search for "search" and find some results, how do I display a SINGLE search result to the user.thanks
hi i am working on sql server200.I m using "LIKE" to search the records.There is freetexttable and containstable table also.just like to know the difference between them.Could anyone provide me a good link regarding this??Thanks
How can you search for the occurance of a whole word in a string? but not return any results that have the word as a substring.
For instance, if I search for the term 'scene' in a column. Then it will only return rows that have the word 'scene' and not those with the word 'scenery'. I've tried the following sql, but it relies on having text either side of the word as well. If the word 'scene' is on the begining or end of the cell then it is not returned.
SELECT Name, Description FROM tblWine WHERE Name LIKE '%[^a-zA-Z]scene[^a-zA-Z]%' OR Description LIKE '%[^a-zA-Z]scene[^a-zA-Z]%'
Is it possible with SQL Server 2005 to include ignored words in a full-text search? For example, searching for "in force as of"? This gives the same results as searching for "force" only. I've tried to empty the ignored words list (noiseENG.txt), but this does not seem to have any effect.
Also we want to be able to search for strings such as "205/1305-2". Searching with punctuation characters in a query seems to be a problem.
What are the possibillities in SQL Server 2005 with regard to these problems?
Using VWD I have created a search feature using the LIKE clause. The filter expression on my SQLDataSource allows the user to search the Description field of a database and yield a result that contains the exact word or phrase entered into a textbox. Assuming that the user enters more than one word, my understanding is that the search result is limited to database rows that contain the EXACT phrase (such as found in an advanced Google search using the “with the exact phrase” option). The current filter expression is: Description LIKE '%{0}%' For example, if “John Smith” is typed into the search textbox, the results will include a row with: 1. “John Smith is my neighbor” but NOT a row with 2. “John is my neighbor. His last name is Smith”. How does one modify the filter expression so that the search result is like the Google “with all the words” search option, where the search results are limited to records in which all the words typed into the textbox are present but not necessarily in the EXACT continuous order? In the example above, BOTH Descriptions would be returned in the search results when “John Smith” in typed into the search textbox. Thanks for any help you can provide in helping me refine my search options.
Hi,I'd be interested in people's thoughts about the following. A user on my site will be searching for a venue name, and that could officially include a sponsor which the user might not search for. Now I am using the AutoCompleteDropdown from the AJAX Control Toolkit, so the user will start typing in a few characters and the results will be returned. I can generate the results from sql by doing a simple LIKE '%' + @searchTerm + '%' however, this fills me with great fear of table scans. At the moment, we'd be querying against a table of 5K records, but our application is very new.I'm thinking one option is to split the words into another table - a one to many relationship to hold each word of the venue. The benefit of this would be that you could do a:LIKE @term + '%'but then I have the cost of the join. (And the added complexity which is not a major issue)Any thoughts/tips?Thanks!
I have french word like "Services d'organisation de minaires"..and i want to search word in SQL SERVER 2008. but the main problem is SQL SERVER give an Error because of string break.Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1 Incorrect syntax near 'organisation'.
This works when @searchString is used in containstable (provided searchString has value)...
set @searchStringNoneOfWords = 'not(Airplane)' SET @searchString = @searchString + ' AND ' + @searchStringNoneOfWords
This does NOT work when @searchString is used in containstable...
set @searchStringNoneOfWords = 'not(Airplane)' SET @searchString = @searchStringNoneOfWords
I understand it is because the syntax is AND NOT, but what if I have a list of words that I do not want included? How do I start out with a NOT using containstable? It is kind of like Google's advanced search except that if you enter a word in the "without words" section with the other fields blank it would return everything under the sun except for things found with those words.

Relative SQL newbie here......this is probably easy, but....Lets say I have a table (MainTable) that stores a list of input table names,a primary key (PKey), and a field called "Configured" for each one. Each ofthese input tables also contain a field called "Configured", which is set totrue or false in another process based on an OrderNumber. (So an order'sinputs are stored in several input tables, and the MainTable is a summarytable that shows which input tables have been configured for any givenOrderNumber).What I need to do is open each input table, and look for a record containinga specific OrderNumber and where Configured=true. If a record is found, Ineed to update the Configured field for that table in the MainTable, andthen move on to the next sub-table.The way I'm doing it now is with simple SQL and loops. Here is the basiccode (ASP):*****************************************OrderNumber = "562613" ' the current order that is being processed' reset all configured flagssql = "UPDATE MainTable SET Configured = 0"conn.execute sql, , &H00000080' get list of all tablenamessql = "SELECT InputTableName, PKey FROM MainTable WHERE InputTableName <>'---'"set rsTableNames = conn.execute(sql)while not rsTableNames.eof' test each input table for configured flagsql = "SELECT Configured FROM " & rsTableNames("InputTableName")& _" WHERE Configured = 1 AND OrderNumber = '" & OrderNumber &"'"set rs = conn.execute(sql)If Not rs.EOF Then' update the main tablesql = "UPDATE MainTable SET Configured = 1 WHERE PKey='" &rsTableNames("PrimaryKey") & "'"conn.execute sql, , &H00000080end ifset rs = nothingrsTableNames.movenextwend*****************************************There has to be a faster way.. I think.... maybe something that could bewritten as a stored procedure? I use a similar technique in a couple ofother places and it's a bit of a performance hit, especially as the numberof input tables grows.TIA!Calan
Hello i need to know hoy to use the LIKE operator to find results that contains 2 or more words. ================TABLE EXAMPLE====================== I HAVE A TABLE CALLED ITEMS
ITEMNAME Good Bike Good Mountain Bike Klein Bike Mountain ===================================================
If i use SELECT ITEMNAME FROM ITEMS WHERE ITEMNAME LIKE '%Good Bike%' i only get: Good Bike
What to code i need to write if i want to get that results for QUERY: "Good Bike" returns Good Bike Good Mountain Bike
So at the moment, I don't have a function by the name CONCATENATE. What I like to do is to list all those different values that go with a single CASE_ID to appear as a a comma separate list. You might have a better way of doing without even writing a function
I know I can do a JOIN(parameter, "some seperator") and it will build me a list/string of all the values in the multiselect parameter.
However, I want to do the same thing with all the occurances of a field in my result set (each row being an occurance).
For example say I have a form that is being printed which will pull in all the medications a patient is currently listed as having perscriptions for. I want to return all those values (say 8) and display them on a single line (or wrap onto additional lines as needed).
Something like: List of current perscriptions: Allegra, Allegra-D, Clariton, Nasalcort, Sudafed, Zantac
How can I accomplish this?
I was playing with the list box, but that only lets me repeat on a new line, I couldn't find any way to get it to repeate side by side (repeat left to right instead of top to bottom). I played with the orientation options, but that really just lets me adjust how multiple columns are displayed as best I can tell.
Could a custom function of some sort be written to take all the values and spit them out one by one into a comma seperated string?
Hi I'm using the full-text indexing on a table and I'm trying to implement a search where users can search for words and use wildcards themselves. However I'm working on a method so that can enter a wildcard in the middle of a word to get records where they are unsure of the spelling etc. For instance, a search of 'Ste*en' should return results like 'Steven' and 'Stephen' etc. So if they are searching for word 'establishment' they can search for 'estab*ment' and it should return all the records using this query: SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE CONTAINS(myField,'"estab*ment"') If I do a wildcard at the end e.g: SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE CONTAINS(myField,'"estab*"') I get the results I am looking for. But the middle wildcard does not seem to work as expected even though it is the syntax used on MSDN and other SQL info sites. Is there something I am not doing properly?
Hi There, I've created a couple of search pages which look at sql server. whenever words or values like "?@~:&£^" etc, or words like for, the and so forth, the page the nasrty error page: Execution of a full-text operation failed. A clause of the query contained only ignored words Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Execution of a full-text operation failed. A clause of the query contained only ignored words. In short: is there a way I can stop it doing this. It looks rather horrible. I've looked at form validation but cant find anything that seems to fit. I would imagine there is a simple solution, but I haven't been able to find it so far. Many thanks Stuart
Can I define field names with more words in Access and SQL Server likefield: "Bus station" instead "BusStation" or "Bus_Station"? I have hadproblems because of this in VB6. Can I have problems in VB 2005 or C# 2005and SQL Server?

Can someone point me in the right direction to write a select query to return the first 10 whole words from a table?
For example, table "testtable" contains a field named "description" with value "here is some test data in order to select the first full ten words from."
The SELECT statement would return the value "here is some test data in order to select the".
I am try to build a query which only matches whole words and so far I've got this.
Code:
SELECT * FROM tblSearchWords WHERE CorrectSpelling LIKE '%[^a-zA-Z0-9]blah[^a-zA-Z0-9]%'
This will return rows which contain the string 'blah' without any numeric or alphanumeric characters beside it. However it doesn't return the rows where 'blah' is either at the start or end of the string as it expects any character except a-zA-Z0-0.
Is there any way to accept string when there is nothing on either side as well?
Hello all. I've been pulling my hair out for the last few weeks trying to come up with a statement that will do what I want. I'm hoping someone can lend some help.
Basically I have a table of articles with titles. I want to go thru the titles and find out what words show up the most. For example, if I had these two article titles in two records:
Microsoft develops new software for NASA NASA blames software problem on Microsoft
I would get the following results - the word and the number of times it appears:
Microsoft 2 NASA 2 Software 2
The statement should ignore those words that only appear once. It would be nice to skip static words like the, and, a, etc.. (Or words 3 characters or less)
I have fulltext query enabled on the table which works great for searching, but not for what I want it to do.
I have a client who wants to have a function to have a system create a validation system for users who register for a system. It would email them a registration code, which they want to be two or three random words strewn together.
So, I'm looking for a big table of words - random, glossary terms, etc. Does anyone have anything like this? (A flat file that I can import would be fine.)
hi could u help me in suggesting how to convert number given in Rs or in $ to words as normal we spell.. ther's is no limit it can be billions or millions.. thanks in advance..
for some reason, i had to write a function to count the number of words in a particular column in a table. (pl find the attachment). i would like to know whether there is any other mechanism with which we can count the number of words in a particular column.
for example, if the column data is,'This Is A Test', the function, will return 4. pl suggest any other efficient strategies to accomplish this

Hi all,I have a table of text and associated data. I want to break apart the textinto individual words, yet retain the data in other columns. For example:Sentence: Chapter:--------------------------I like cats. 1Joe likes dogs. 2Should become:Word: Chapter:--------------------------I 1like 1cats 1Joe 2likes 2dogs. 2Are there built-in SQL parsing functions, If not, what text handlingfeatures would be most useful for building them?Thanks!
