Simple Search Query
Mar 16, 2007Hi,
I'm writing
small search engine for my page. I need SQL query that could do this:

Yellow
Blue Green
Yellow RedF

results:

As you can
see I need all occurrences of word Red and word Red* but I don’t need *Red or
*Red* so I can't use LIKE %Red% :(.
P.S. Sorry

Help Me Write A Search Function Please
Jun 8, 2007Hi all,I'm very new to ASP.NET stuffs, I'm trying to write a Search function for my website... I have two text boxes, one if called "SongTitle" and the other is "Artist"...

For the "Artist", I have 2 columns in the Database (originalArtist and performer), so for the Artist select statement, it need to check both columns on the table, if any of them match then it will return the item. Any help would be greatly appreciated,Thank you all,Kenny.

Jul 11, 2006Hi, Im trying to create a simple search page to return a list of products from a table in a sql database. Id like to be able to search a product description column in a table I have called products using the contents of a text box. I was wondering how i can go about getting the search to check for all words the user types in rather than just a single word or an exact phrase. Im currently using the following sql query
SELECT [product_title], [product_description] FROM [products] WHERE ([product_description] LIKE '%' + @product_search + '%')
this works fine for single words and exact phrases but if i had product called 'fred w bloggs' and i enter 'fred bloggs' it will not return anything.
Please could anyone suggest how i shoud go about this?
Im not sure if my web hosting company will enable full text search or will this be required?
Thanks for any help!

However, the table has about 300,000 records. Is simply querying the table from the web (SELECT barcode FROM tblProducts where ID=123) the best way considering the releant column has been indexed.Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks

View 9 Replies View RelatedWildcard In Simple Sql Search.
Mar 30, 2005I'm very new to SQL so please forgive my ignorance...
I've made a simple .net search page which queries an sql database with the following query, (in a stored procedure):
SELECT Category, Number, RegisteredUser, DeptName, Surname, Forename, Site, IDFROM tblTelephonesWHERE (@surname IS NULL OR Surname LIKE @surname) AND (@site IS NULL OR Site = @site) AND (@deptname IS NULL OR DeptName LIKE @deptname)
This works fine, as expected if i leave fields null or enter an exact match, but I (of course) have to add a wildcard in my search string for a wildcard search. For example, looking for 'duncan' i need to enter 'du%' or 'duncan'.
What I really want is for all searches to have wildcards behind them so only the first few characters need be inputted, and I could just search for 'd' or 'dun' without adding the '%' to get 'duncan'. I think I am aware of the implications of this approach and do want to go ahead as there are only about 850 records.
Any help or links to useful articles would really be greatly appreciated.
My First ASP.NET (simple) Search Page For SQL
Mar 30, 2005This question probably applies to Visual Web Developer but I don't know if it belongs in this Forum or that, sorry if you have to move it.
Hi there kind person reading this
I've created a stored procedure in SQL2000 that selects records where (name = @name) AND (site = @site). It works as I have tested it with Enterprise Manager.
I have also created a page with VWD that has a drop-down list populated with the site records and a text box. I have put an SQL data source on the page that is configured to select from the stored procedure. However, I can't set the @name and @site variables to collect from the ddl and txtbox through the wizard! I've tried selecting a Control as the source for @site but neither the ddl or txtbox appear in the control dropdown list. So I want to crack it with handwritten code.
Does anyone know of a post or article that can help me link the ddl and txtbox to a search button, which calls the stored procedure with the chosen variables allowing me to put the returned data into a gridview? I've been through a great walkthrough for VWD (Student Activities) but it doesn't seem to apply to the latest version - or there's something wrong with my (seems fine though) instalation. Thanks if you can help, I owe you a
Problems With A Simple Search

AS
SELECTID, Headline, Article

There's a few problems with this however...
1. If I enter "Dog" into the search, it will skip over the article if it contains "dog". I need to convert the search term and the article text to lowercase.
2. If I enter "iron" into the search, it will find articles containing "iron", but it will also find articles containing "environment". How can I fix that without affecting my multiple word search in the WHERE clause?
How To Create This Simple Database Search? Thank You.
Dec 7, 2004Hello,
I have a search form in an ASP.NET/VB page. The form has the input text box and the button "search". The keywords are passed in the URL to results.aspx.
Here is an example of what I get in the URL, when I write the keywords "asp", "book" and "london" in the input text box and click "search":
results.aspx?search=asp%20book%20london
The database table has 3 fields: "id", "title" and "description".
I want to display all the records where at least one of the keywords is found in any of the 2 fields "title" and "description".
1. I suppose I need to get the words out of the URL to be used by SQL.
Maybe: string[] searchString = request.queryString("search").split('search'); ???
How can i make this run when page loads? I supose i need it. Right?
2. How should the SQL look? I supose i need to use the "Like" command
SELECT * FROM books WHERE title LIKE ...
But how to I use it if I can have 1, 2, 3, ... keywords?
Can someone help me?
Thanks,

Mar 29, 2008Hi - 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

DTS Query Builder - Using Nulls
Jan 20, 2004I am trying to emulate the "Find unmatched Records" Access Query using DTS. I have a small table with a list of codes that I need to use to exclude records in my text export.
I have created a left outer join and set the criteria for the joined field in the 'right' table to be null. I am repeatedly getting no records as a result.
Wouldn't the joined field in the right table for unmatched records by default be null? I'm stumped as to why this seamingly simple process won't work for me. I have attached the select statement for your review.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

View 3 Replies View RelatedQuery That Return Nulls
Mar 1, 2008This is my problem, i have 2 tables: one table that hold data, having id as identity, say table (id, content), the other table have 2 columns: (id, number). The second table number column refer to the id in the first table. i want to build a query that get the data from the first table that correspond to a specific id in the second table, not only this i want to get the previous, the current and the next item.
For example: if table_data, table_info is first and second tables, something that can do it is :
DECLARE @i int
SELECT * FROM table_data WHERE id in (@i -1, @i +1, @i)
The problem here if @i, @i+1 or @i-1 doesn't exist the column will not be returned, i want to get a result similar to
id, content
25 null
26 null
27 #some content#
or
34 #content1#
35 #content2#
36 #content3#
so my problem is that nulls doesn't appear, i thought about using OUTER JOIN, but the problem is that outer join take tables, not (@i -1, @i +1, @i), so if only i can make somehow the outer join use these values, i think it works.
Any help please, and thanks in advance
SQL Query Not Returning Nulls
Sep 21, 2007Is there a way to set SQL Server 2005 Express so that I can return null values? For example, the following query will not return any values:
SELECT *
FROM tbl_form_values
where fldVALUE IS NULL;
it does return values with:
SELECT *
FROM tbl_form_values
where fldVALUE = '';
I have an Oracle background and all null values are true nulls not empty strings. I would like to be able to use the first query. Also other functions such as COALESCE work very nice with nulls. I can do the following in Oracle but not in SQL Server:
SELECT fldID, fldMID, fldFID,
COALESCE(fldVALUE, 'n/a');
FROM tbl_form_values
This will return the values in fldVALUE if they are available and n/a for all NULL values.
Any help would be appreciated.

View 4 Replies View RelatedDo Not Keep NULLS Using SSIS Bulk Insert Task - Insert Empty Strings Instead Of NULLS
May 15, 2008I have two SSIS packages that import from the same flat file into the same SQL 2005 table. I have one flat file connection (to a comma delimited file) and one OLE DB connection (to a SQL 2005 Database). Both packages use these same two Connection Managers. The SQL table allows NULL values for all fields. The flat file has "empty values" (i.e., ,"", ) for certain columns.
The first package uses the Data Flow Task with the "Keep nulls" property of the OLE DB Destination Editor unchecked. The columns in the source and destination are identically named thus the mapping is automatically assigned and is mapped based on ordinal position (which is equivalent to the mapping using Bulk Insert). When this task is executed no null values are inserted into the SQL table for the "empty values" from the flat file. Empty string values are inserted instead of NULL.
The second package uses the Bulk Insert Task with the "KeepNulls" property for the task (shown in the Properties pane when the task in selected in the Control Flow window) set to "False". When the task is executed NULL values are inserted into the SQL table for the "empty values" from the flat file.
So using the Data Flow Task " " (i.e., blank) is inserted. Using the Bulk Insert Task NULL is inserted (i.e., nothing is inserted, the field is skipped, the value for the record is omitted).
I want to have the exact same behavior on my data in the Bulk Insert Task as I do with the Data Flow Task.
Using the Bulk Insert Task, what must I do to have the Empty String values inserted into the SQL table where there is an "empty value" in the flat file? Why & how does this occur automatically in the Data Flow Task?
From a SQL Profile Trace comparison of the two methods I do not see where the syntax of the insert command nor the statements for the preceeding captured steps has dictated this change in the behavior of the inserted "" value for the recordset. Please help me understand what is going on here and how to accomplish this using the Bulk Insert Task.
