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.
I'm sure this is an easy problem but my brain is fried today...however how do I do the following:
I have a two column table. One is a key field where duplicates can arise and the other is a datetime field. So you might have some records looking like this:
OK, how do I get the top 1 of each key so that I get a subset of records looking like the following: 1231999-06-14 12:17:11.000 8901999-06-15 10:00:18.000
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 hopeful this will be a quick one, i have a query that returns a hell of a lot of records not if i do top 1000 i can get the first thousand, is there a simple way to then get the second thousand and the third?
because i need to process the data but with it going all in one go it's being a bit of a resource hog.
this is best i've come up with so far but I'm hoping for a better method SELECT TOP 10 * FROM testtable WHERE id NOT IN (SELECT TOP 10 id FROM testtable)
Hello, I have a table of names/dates as such: Class 1 1/1/2007Class 1 1/3/2007Class 1 1/5/2007Class 2 2/1/2007Class 2 2/3/2007Class 3 3/1/2007 What I want to do is select only the nearest entry from the list for each distinct class, so the results are like this: Class 1 1/1/2007Class 2 2/1/2007Class 3 3/1/2007 So basically, I want the first upcoming class in the list for each distinct class name. How do I do this? I'm using SQL 2005 Express. Thanks.
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
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?
SQL reads:
SELECT SupplierName, Location, ShortDescription FROM Query1 WHERE 'TimberSpecies' LIKE '%MMColParam%' AND 'CategoryTable' LIKE '%MMColParam2%' AND 'Location' LIKE '%MMColParam3%'

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.
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.
My full-text search isn't working at all! I have a temporary table with full-text indexing enabled where files are scanned for social security numbers. If it has one, the user will see a message that it believes it's found a SSN and won't upload it. There is only ever one row in this table, as we overwrite the contents upon each upload.
I'm testing this search, and it doesn't work. The table has the following columns: attachemtId (int) - primary key fileContent (image) - contents of the file fileExtension (varchar) - extension of the file (this is always either ".pdf" or ".doc")
I created a .doc file that simply says "ssn", and then run the following query:
SELECT * FROM TempAttachment WHERE CONTAINS(fileContent,'ssn')
and nothing is returned! I tried the same thing with a .pdf file, and same results.
I'm not sure if this is related, but earlier I had this issue where I had to reset permissions for the directory. I've tried removing the full-text index and adding it again, but that didn't do anything. I also checked error logs on the server, and there were no messages. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!
Hi, I was wondering if any SQL Server gurus out there could help me...I have a table which contains text resources for my application. The text resources are multi-lingual so I've read that if I add a html language indicator meta tag e.g.<META NAME="MS.LOCALE" CONTENT="ES">and store the text in a varbinary column with a supporting Document Type column containing ".html" of varchar(5) then the full text index service should be intelligent about the language word breakers it applies when indexing the text. (I hope this is correct technique for best multi-lingual support in a single table?)However, when I come to query this data the results always return 0 rows (no errors are encountered). e.g.DECLARE @SearchWord nvarchar(256)SET @SearchWord = 'search' -- Yes, this word is definitely present in my resources.SELECT * FROM Resource WHERE CONTAINS(Document, @SearchWord)I'm a little puzzled as Full Text search is working fine on another table that employs an nvarchar column.Any pointers / suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Cheers,Gavin.
I'd like to get some ideas for the following: I am writing a quick mini-application that searches for records in a database, which is easy enough. However, if the search term comes up empty, I need to return 10 records before the positon the search term would be in if it existed, and 10 records after. (Obviously the results are ordered on the search term column) So for example, if I am searching on "Microsoft", and it doesn't exist in my table, I need to return the 10 records that come before Microsoft alphabetically, and then the 10 that come after it. I have a SP that does this, but it is pretty messy and I'd like to see if anyone else had some ideas that might be better. Thanks!
Hi, Could you tell me if this is possible? How do I return results using an entire column as part of the search parameter? I need to do this in the sql rather than selecting the contents and iterating through it as it would take too long.
eg. CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tPopupKeywords]( [id] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT FOR REPLICATION NOT NULL, [title] [nvarchar](255) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL, [description] [nvarchar](2000) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL ) ON [PRIMARY]
INSERT INTO dbo.tPopupKeywords(title, description) SELECT 'check', 'desc' UNION ALL SELECT 'for', 'desc' UNION ALL SELECT 'keywords', 'desc'
select dbo.tpopupkeywords.title where 'This is an example of a passed in string to check if any keywords are returned.' LIKE '% ' + dbo.tpopupkeywords.title + ' %' --Does this bit need to do a select??
I have created a table(T1) from select query result, that Select query is parameterised. Now I need to update the select query table(T1) based on the result every time.

We have a table that is Full Text Search index enabled on one column.This table has 200 lakhs of rows(20000000) . ContainsTable() function is searching data with in these 200 lakhs of rows(20000000), if any new rows are inserted then the ContainsTable is not going to search in these recent inserted rows.
We observed when we try for a data to search. it is returning the rows till the rows that are inserted date is less than 30th of march 2012. but not searching in the records that are created after April month , if even the data we are searching is available .
TableFulltextItemCount is around 2.2 crores.
Then we done rebuilt the FT catalog Index. then the TableFulltextItemCount became 0.Again we run the containstable query ,but still it is not getting results.
As the no of rows are very more . so i am not able to show the actual rows from which the data is not coming.
the below query gives 2 results that are from actual base table
HTML Code: select * from g_case_action_log where cas_details like '%235355%' and product_id = 38810
To search for the same above word using FTS,I have used the query as below
HTML Code: SELECT Distinct top 50 cal.case_id,cal.cas_details From g_case_action_log cal (READUNCOMMITTED)inner join containstable(es.g_case_action_log, cas_details, ' ("235355" OR "<br>235355" OR "235355<br> ") ') as key_tbl on cal.log_id = key_tbl.[key] Where cal.product_id = 38810 ORDER By cal.case_id DESC
I have attached one sql script file for your ref that contains create logic and index schema properties
I have a FullTextSQLQuery which I am trying to search a phrase(The Multi-part identifier) on full text indexed table. I am getting expected results on running the below sql query on QA machine and PreProduction servers, but not getting the same results on our development and production servres as even though same code running.
SELECT DISTINCT TOP 50 c.case_id,c.status_id,cal.cas_details FROM g_case_action_log cal (READUNCOMMITTED) INNER JOIN g_case c (READUNCOMMITTED) ON (cal.case_id = c.case_id) INNER JOIN CONTAINSTABLE(es.g_case_action_log, cas_details, ' "The multi-part identifier" OR "<br>The multi-part identifier" OR "The multi-part identifier<br>" ') as key_tbl ON cal.log_id = key_tbl.[key] ORDER By c.case_id DESC
We are using SqlServer 2008 R2 version on all servers.
We are running SQL 2014 SP1. We are using defined Full text indexes on several tables in the database. However, on one specific set of servers, a certain search will not return any data. This exact same search works on another set of servers built identically. The first responses I'm sure will be stop list, but I have dropped and recreated the FTI multiple times with different stop lists or no stop list at all and get the same results.
The specific word being searched on is YUM. If I change the value to YUMk, it actually returns, and if I change the data to TUM it returns, but YUM does not. This exact query is working on multiple other systems, so it seems to be something environmental, but I haven't been able to pinpoint it.
I have written this sample query to search a full-text indexed table and return the results. If the word occurs more than once I want it to return as a new record and the results show a short summary of the location. I was using 'like', but the full table scans were really slowing it down. Can performance be improved for the following (The results returned by my query are accurate)
I've got a big problem that I'm trying to figure out: I have an address table out-of-which I am trying to select mailing addresses for companies UNLESS a mailing address doesn't exist; then I want to select the physical addresses for that company. If I get multiple mailing or physical addresses returned I only want the most recently edited out of those.
I don't need this for an individual ID select, I need it applied to every record from the table.
My address table has some columns that look like: [AddressID] [int] [LocationID] [int]
AddressID is a primary-key non-null column to the address table and the LocationID is a foreign key value from a seperate Companies table. So there will be multiple addresses to one LocationID, but each address will have it's own AddressID.
How can I do this efficiently with perfomance in mind???
I have an employee table (empl), and a labor table (lab). The labor table is populated whenever an employee clocks in/out. If an employee does not clock in, they do not appear in the labor table.
I need to capture employees whose time is less than 8 hours, or whoever did not log in at all that date. If I run the following query without a WHERE clause, I get all of my employees, with NULL data in the labor table if they did not log in that day. This is good.
However, if I add
WHERE (DATEDIFF(s, tt.StartTime, tt.EndTime) < 28800) OR (tt.StartTime = NULL)
I get all employees whose time is less than 8 hours, but do not get any of the employees who did not work at all that date, and that's expected... there should NEVER be a NULL in the labor table - it is populated whenever somebody clocks in/out.
So, how would I query the resulting table to get those that worked less than 8 hours, and those that did not?
