Thanks in advance,

MSDE And Full Text Search Catalog
Jan 5, 2005Hi there,
First off: I know that MSDE can't handle Full Text Catalogs.
Now I'd like to know if someone knows about a product or method which I could use that would give me the same result and work with MSDE.
The reason I ask is the following:
We have developed an Intranet application based upon MS Sharepoint Portal Server 2003 for Document Management purposes. Every Document has about 20 customized Properties which can be set. We do have an extensive interface for searching these documents
Now every user can have his "Favorite Documents" in a personal location.
What we are doing now is a "Local" version of this application. It will not allow documents to be modifed and will export the Users Favorites to his personal Computer.
For the moment we store everything (including the documents themselves) in a local MSDE Database.
Now we were recently asked to allow the user to search these local documents. Or at least search for documents with specific properties(i.e. no content indexing needed)
However I don't know how to go about this.
The structure I have for the DB is following
tblFiles
FileGUID FileName
1 Doc1
2 Doc2
tblProperties
PropertyGUID PropertyName
1 Name
2 Author
tblFileProperties
FileGUID PropertyGUID Value
1 1 Test Document.doc
1 2 John Smith
2 1 Dcoument for testing.xls
2 2 John Doe
Now you get the idea
We want to user to be able to specify search criteria for multiple properties
e.g. return every Document where Author Like 'John' and Name Like 'Document'
Preferably we should also be able to use wildcars. But that is not abolutely necessary for the moment.
Now I guess to achieve this I'd need a full text Search Catalog on tblFileProperties.Value, but I'm not even sure about that.
Any help please

Can Not Create A Full Text Catalog Or Index
Nov 2, 2007When I try to create a full-text catalog on my local database I get an error that I can not find support information for.
Here is the command I run :CREATE FULLTEXT CATALOG asset_search_values_catalog on FILEGROUP ftFileGroup IN PATH 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData' as default
Here is the error message I get:
Msg 7689, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Execution of a full-text operation failed. 'No such interface supported'
I check the properties of my database and Full-text is enabled.
I am running SQL Server 2005, on an XP Pro, SP2.
I had originially installed in side by side with SQL Server 2000.
I even tried uninstalling SQL Server 2005 (to try a re-install), I could not even uninstall the database.
What should I do.

Problem With Hyphen In Full Text Catalog Search
Jul 23, 2005Hi All,we have a problem with the Full Text Catalog Search.We use the following SQL Statement for matching companies from a table:select company, lastname, firstname, pkcustomers, fkcustomers,location, title, fkFunktionen, TypeOfPositionfrom customerswhere (fkcustomers = 0 or fkcustomers is null)and active = 1and pkCustomers in (select [KEY] from CONTAINSTABLE(Customers, Company,'"*SEARCHTERMS*"'))order by company ascThe search so far is working perfect.Now the problem: There are two companies in the table called "i-fabrik"and "b-wise". There´s no way to find these two companies. I find outthat the search is successful if there are more than three letters infront of the hyphen (for exampe iii-fabrik or bbb-wise). How can thatbe? Why exactly 3 letters?I hope somebody can help me.Best regardsMarkus Weber

MS SQL Full-text Index Search
Jan 16, 2006First of all I’m new to MS SQL, I did work with mySQL
Table name db (real db has 12 columns)
Id c1 c2 c3
1 tom john olga
2 tom john olga bleee
I enabled full text index on all columns
Problem when I do search like this:
SELECT * FROM db WHERE CONTAINS(*,'�tom� AND “john�')
It will return only one row (id 2) – I understand that the full text search does look only at one column at a time because it did not return row #1
Anyway I thought that I can add extra column c4 and when user enters new data it will save data from columns c1, c2, c3 to c4 (varchar(750)) and then I will do search only on c4 – this way it will work the way I want.
1) Is there any better way to do this?
2) How do I sort results by “rank� with SQL
Full Text Search - Index Files
Mar 8, 2008history.ix, index_a.ix, index_d_1.ix, index_di_1.ix, index_i_2.ix,
index_k_2.ix, index_kl_1.ix, index_klh_2.ix, index_n.ix,
index_r_l.ix, index_sv.ix, index_v.ix, index_v_ix.log, indexlog.dat.
This files are generated durin full text search.
now i have doubts regarding this,
1) Can we referrence this files directly
2) Where it will be located in our system?
3) is it loaded for each Full Text Index we created for the table.
4) How this file are used in Full Text Search.
Full-text Index Search Not Returning Expected Results
Apr 11, 2007Hello,
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!
FullText Search Not Returning Results After Rebuilding Full Text Index
Aug 6, 2012We 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
Why it is not returning results all the time.
Full-text Search Does Not Automatically Update Index When CHANGE_TRACKING AUTO
Apr 25, 2007On Sql Server 2005 Standard if I insert a new row into SomeTable that has a full-text index:
insert SomeTable(keywords)values('this is a test')
and then query:
SELECT * FROM Message WHERE Contains(keywords, ' "test" ');
I get the expected rows all rows that have "test" in the keyword.
On Sql Server 2005 Express new rows are not returned unless I rebuild the catalog.
Is this a known limitation of Express?

View 1 Replies View RelatedRestoring DB With Full Text Catalog
Oct 13, 2000When restoring a database that contained a full text catalog to another server I noticed that the full text catalogs were not restored. However, the system tables still had the information on these catalogs. As such, I couldn't delete the catalogs (because they didn't exist).
In the end, I deleted the relevant lines from the system table sysfulltextcatalogs and sysobjects and then built a new set of catalogs. Obviously this isn't ideal.
I am restoring databases to a backup/standby server on a regular basis and was wondering if there are any official/documented methods of restoring full text catalogs to another server. (i.e. without having to mess around with the system tables). There doesn't seem to be much in BOL.
Any pointers or ideas on this would be welcome.

Full Text Catalog Problem
Mar 4, 2004I have a database which has (god knows how) ended up with a Full text catalog which is believes is on the E: drive of the machine. The problem is that machine only has C: drive.
If I try and rebuid the catalog (sp_fulltext_catalog 'documents','rebuild') I get an error saying that e:... doesn't exist.
If I try and drop the catalog (sp_fulltext_catalog 'documents', 'drop'), I can't because it contains a full-text index.
If I try and drop remove the full text index from the table (sp_fulltext_table 'tbl_upload','drop'), I can't because Full-text catalog has been lost. Use sp_fulltext_catalog to rebuild and to repopulate it.
HELP
Does anybody know how to either drop it so that I can recreate it or how to update it so that it looks at a disk that the machine actually has?
Full-Text Catalog Problem
Oct 30, 2007Hello Everybody,
I have a really strange problem and i need your advice...
in one line:
creating full-text index bring to Rank = 0 when running FreeTextTable (although it shouldn't be).
in details:
when creating a new catalog on defining full-text index process, I finish the process successfully and then run a query (FreeTextTable) on the first time i get rank = 731, and after that get always rank=0. after checking every option in this process, try to use old catalog (belongs to different full-text search) it works perfectly.
does anyone has a clue?
thanks in advance,

Full Text Catalog Empty
Jun 18, 2007Hi,
I'm not sure this is the right place for this thread but here goes.
I am trying to setup a full text catalog on one table in my database. Although the catalog is created fine and no erros are reported when creating or populating the catalog. It seems to be empty as its size is only 1Mb and my query:
select top 10* from kmuser.tbl_webpages
where contains (WebPageHTML_FT, '"aruba"'
returns no rows, while:
select * from kmuser.tbl_webpages
where webpagehtml_ft like '%aruba%'
returns 6 rows.
I have read several articles on the subject and have followed them to a T. I've deleted it and recreated so many times now both through Enterprise manager and through query analyser using the stored procedure sp_fulltext_catalog.
I've checked that full text catalog is enabled using:
select DATABASEPROPERTY(DB_NAME(), N'IsFullTextEnabled')
I am really stuck. Does anyone have any ideas?
Many thanks
Full Text Catalog Properties
Oct 18, 2007How can I get all the properties in t-sql that are shown in the full-text catalog properties dialog box in enterprise manager? The one I am specifically looking for is "Physical Catalog". I know Location, Status, Item Count, Catalog Size, and Last Population Date can come from FULLTEXTCATALOGPROPERTY or sysfulltextcatalogs. So where is "Physical Catalog"?

Full-text Catalog Is In An Unusable State
Sep 19, 2007I have a database that I just copy its datafile(.mdf) and the log file to another place in my system. Due to the fact that the sql server instance developed internal error, then i have to forcefully uninstall it and later install it (done successfully). After re-installation, I attach the database file back to the package withoou first and foremost copy it to the Data folder in sql server directory, but rather from where I kept the file. When I decided to create a full-text sraching on a table, the name of the catalog to be used has been afore-configured before. So I decided not to create a new one, then when I applied ful-text indexing on one the table i have index use the procedure (full-text indexing), an error generate sayingFull-text catalog is in an unusable state. I tried to google it and the advice is to drop the catalog and re-create a new catalog. Then when i use this statementdrop fulltext catalog <name>; Error is prompted saying it can not be commited because of the associated table(s) that have been indexing. Is there any way to easily drop all these indexes and re-create another catalog as well as a new indexing on the affected tables. Any suggestions/help is welcome. Very urgentthanksTechnology Consultantwww.legwork.com.ng

Jan 4, 2006This is driving me nuts.
I recently moved a database from one server to another. One thing
I didn't catch is that I had a Full Text Catalog on the old server.
Well, on the new server, the catalog is still pointing to a disk
location that doesn't exist on the new server. I tried to remove
the catalog but get an error:
"Error 21776: The name 'Claims Catalog' was not found in the FullTextCatalogs collection....."
So, I go to the table and attempt to remove Full Text Indexing but get
the same error with: "Error 20565: Database is not full-text
enabled yet"
I tried to remove the indexing key from the table and get: "Invalid cursor state"
I even tried to fake a mapped drive with the path it was looking for and it still doesn't work.
Any suggestions other than dropping the table? (it has about 40,000 records).
Thanks!

FULL-TEXT Catalog Not Remembering The Indexes
Nov 15, 2005I have made a full text catalog for my article table, and enabled "change tracking" and "update in background", this works just the way its supposed to work, a little delay before I can search in the entered text, but thats not a problem.
The Problem is when I restart the server, then it forgets the things it has indexed in the background, and it doesnt seem to enable the "update in background"-feature, before I manually starts population the first time.
How can I set it to start population on server startup, and remember the things it indexes in the background?

Unable To Create Full Text Catalog! Please Help

Hope this is the right forum - apologies if its not. I'm a newbie. I'm at my wits end as I cant create a full-text catalog in SQL server 2000. Let me explain (I'll try and include as much info as I can):-
When I run the following command:

I get the following error mesaage:
Server: Msg 7619, Level 16, State 2, Procedure sp_fulltext_catalog, Line 64
The specified object cannot be found. Specify the name of an existing object.
I in as user sa. I determine this from running:
select suser_sname()
The SQL Server instance is running under user: LocalSystem
I determine this from the following command:
DECLARE @serviceaccount varchar(100)
EXECUTE master.dbo.xp_instance_regread
N'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE',
N'SYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesMSSQLSERVER',
N'ObjectName',
@ServiceAccount OUTPUT,
N'no_output'
SELECT @Serviceaccount
The database is owned by: sa (determined by visual inspection).
Yes, full text indexing is enabled for this database as I ran the following command:
EXEC sp_fulltext_database 'enable'
and get the following:
(1 row(s) affected)
(0 row(s) affected)
(1 row(s) affected)
Now I can't think of anything else. I'm at my wits end! Please help. Any comments/suggestions/ideas/diagnostics greatly appreciated.

However when I try and create a catalog it doesnt detect that this field is unique.
Does my unique field have to be a Primary Key, I cant remove the compound primary key as it will break my application.
