Wild Card Character Search
Sep 19, 2007Hi!
I am developing one web site, in that I can upload files to sql server, it will save the uploaded file in binary type and we can download the files from there. Upto this everything is working perfectly. But now my problem is - i have to implement the wildcard character search in this site. The file name and extension will save on the database in different columns, and one more thing is file name is unique. I confused to implement wildcard search in this site, where i can implement this type of search in database or in my application with c#? So please help me to do this. I dont know that this is the right place to post this question or not. If it is not right place, please guide me to where I can post this. If it is right place, please help me to implement wild card search.
Thanks in advance!

How To Do A Wild Card Search With Sqlserver
Dec 31, 2004Is there syntax that lets you look for all names that include ell in them? That is, in Oracle it would be:
select id from customers where firstname like(%ell%)
Or, is there regular expression support in the select's where clause?

Wild Card Not Working In Search String
Jan 3, 2005In the below section of code I'm connecing to a SQL database and when I use the "=" in the search it works ok, but when I try to add the ability to use wildcards by changin "=" to "LIKE" its not working
Working code:
Function GetName(ByVal first_Name As String) As System.Data.DataSet

Wild Card Search In Table Adapter Using SQL ServerCE
Apr 14, 2008
Hi All,
I'm trying to use a very simple SQL String that check if a specific string exist in the DB.
When I do the SQL and use a regular Connection I get the result.
When I use a data set and on the table adapter I need to use the "LIKE %" method I get an error.
What should I write on the table adapter in order to make this search?
ItemID is a type string.
This is my SQL:
SELECT itemID, itemName
FROM Items
WHERE (itemID LIKE @ItemIDTemp)
This sample give no result
or
SELECT itemID, itemName
FROM Items
WHERE (itemID LIKE '%' + @ItemIDTemp + '%')
This sample return an error message
"Data conversion failed. [OLEDB status value (if known)=2]"
What is the right way to do so?
Wild Search NText And NVarChar In Parameterized Inline Statement
Dec 14, 2004I want to retrieve data from SQL containing non English character but fail, can anyone shed me some light?
What I use currently:
Dim strSQL As String
strSQL = "SELECT ArticleID, "
strSQL &= "ISNULL(Body, '') AS Body, "
strSQL &= "ISNULL(Subject, '') AS Subject "
strSQL &= "FROM Articles "
strSQL &= "WHERE (Subject LIKE N'%' + @Keyword + '%' OR [Body] LIKE N'%' + @Keyword + '%') "
Dim con As New SqlConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("ConnectionString"))
Dim cmd As New SqlDataAdapter(strSQL, con)
cmd.SelectCommand.Parameters.Add("@Keyword", SqlDbType.NVarChar).Value = keyword
...
I'm not so sure where should I place the letter "N", I use :
SELECT ArticleID,
ISNULL(Body, '') AS Body,
ISNULL(Subject, '') AS Subject,
FROM Articles
WHERE (Subject LIKE N'%SomeNonEnglishString%' OR [Body] LIKE N'%SomeNonEnglishString%')
in Query Analzyer, it works! But it failed in my program... oh my god...
Thanks a lot!
SQL Search :: Full Text Search With Single Character Returns All Rows
Jul 21, 2015Our clients want to be able to do full text search with a single letter. (Is the name Newton, Nathan, Nick?, Is the ID N1, N2...). Doing a single character full text search on a table work 25 out of 26 times. The letter that doesn't work is 'n'. the WHERE clause CONTAINS(full_text_field, ' "n*" ') returns all rows, even rows that have no 'n' in them anywhere. Adding a second letter after the "n" works as expected.
Here is an example
create table TestFullTextSearch (
Id int not null,
AllText nvarchar(400)
)
create unique index test_tfts on TestFullTextSearch(Id);
create fulltext catalog ftcat_tfts;
[Code] ....

View 4 Replies View RelatedWildcard Search - Column Value Containing % Character
May 8, 2006Hi All,
I have a company table with CompanyName and Address details.
In the Company Name field - I have got companies with names like - 'The 1% Club', '99% Pure Water', 'The 1% Golfer' etc...
I want to search for Companies with % using the LIKE clause - Say for ex.
SELECT CompanyName from Company WHERE CompanyName LIKE 'The 1%%'
I was expecting the above query to return - All Companies starting with 'The 1%' - So from the above list - I expected it to return - 'The 1% Club' and 'The 1% Golfer'.
Unfortunately the query isn;t accepting % in the WHERE LIKE clause except for the wildcard character.
Is there a way out to escape the Wildcard Characters present in the Field Values while searching.
Thanks,

Are '[ ]' Wild Cards In An SQL LIKE Statement?
Mar 4, 2008Hi all I am rather confused on about using the SQL LIKE statement along with square brackets. If I type the following SQL command in SQL Server 2005:
Code Snippet
SELECT * FROM Table1 WHERE Field1 LIKE '%[ggg]%'
All rows from my Table are selected. ^^
If I used this command:
Code Snippet
SELECT * FROM Table1 WHERE Field1 LIKE '%ggg%'
No rows are returned. ^^
PLEASE NOTE THE USE OF SQUARE BRACKETS IN SQL LIKE STATEMENT.
Thanks for responses, Onam.
Using LIKE And Wild Cards In Form Query
Dec 11, 2006Hi,
I am using Visual Studio 2005. I am trying to create a ASP.net website and use a web form to get the results of an enquiry. It is almost the same as the presentation video on this website called "How to Create Data Driven Website", but I have added a new twist to it. I want to use the "LIKE" instead of "=" in my SQL statement and I want to use wild cards in the parameter value that I enter.
<form id="form1" runat="server"> <div> <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<% dim str as string = "%" & textbox1.text & "%" </%> <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox2" runat="server" Visible="False" Text=str></asp:TextBox> <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Submit" Width="87px" BackColor="Khaki" ForeColor="Navy" PostBackUrl="~/Default.aspx" />
and the ControlID of the Datagrid will take in the value of "TextBox2" instead of "TextBox1" as so:
<SelectParameters> <asp:ControlParameter ControlID="TextBox2" DefaultValue="SO06000001" Name="SO" PropertyName="Text" Type="String" />
However the syntax above does not work. May I ask what is the correct syntax?
Thanks.

SQL 2000 MS Search: Boolean Search Doesn't Work When Search By Phrase
Aug 9, 2006I'm just wonder if this is a bug in MS Search or am I doing something wrong.
I have a query below
declare @search_clause varchar(255)
set @Search_Clause = ' "hepatitis b" and "hepatocellular carcinoma"'
select * from results
where contains(finding,@search_clause)
I don't get the correct result at all.
If I change my search_clause to "hepatitis" and "hepatocellular carcinoma -- without the "b"
then i get the correct result.
It seems MS Search doesn't like the phrase contain one letter or some sort or is it a know bug?
Anyone know?
Thanks

Read Chinese Character From SQL(SQL Server 2005) Database Table Column And Display Chinese Character
Feb 1, 2008Hi!
I have a table like this below and it doesn't only contain English Names but it also contain Chinese Name.
CREATE TABLE Names
(FirstName NVARCHAR (50),
LastName NVARCHAR (50));
I tried to view the column using SQL Query Analyzer, It didn't display Chinese Character.
I know that SQL Server 2005 is using UCS-2 Encoding and Chinese Character uses Double Byte Character Set (DBCS) Encoding.
I want to read the FirstName and LastName columns and display in Window Form Data Grid and ASP.NET Grid View.
I tried to use this code below and it didn't work. It convert some of the English Name to Chinese Character and it display the chinese character and some still in the original unreadable characters.
Does anybody know how to read those character from SQL Table and display the correct Chinese Character without converting the English Name into Chinese also?
Thanks

Help W/ Stored Procedure? - Full-text Search: Search Query Of Normalized Data
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
View 3 Replies View RelatedSQL Server 2014 :: Semantic Search Not Finding Keywords Identified By Full-Text Search?
Nov 6, 2014I have a scenario of where the standard Full-Text search identifies keywords but Semantic Search does not recognize them as keywords. I'm hoping to understand why Semantic Search might not recognize them. The context this is being used in medical terminology and the specific key words I noticed missing right off the bat were medications.
For instance, if I put the following string into a FT indexed table
'J9355 - Trastuzumab (Herceptin)'
AND
'J9355 - Trastuzumab emtansine'
The Semantic Search recognized 'Herceptin' and 'Emtansine' but not 'Trastuzumab'
Nor in
'J8999 - Everolimus (Afinitor)'
It did not recognize 'Afinitor' as a keyword.
In all cases the Base of Full-Text did find those keywords and were identifiable using the dmvsys.dm_fts_index_keywords_by_document.It does show the index as having completed.
why certain words might not be picked up while others would be? Could it be a language/dictionary issue? I am using English and accent insensitive settings?
Create Site Search Using Sql Server Full Text Search
Jul 24, 2007would you use sql server "full text search" feature as your site index? from some reason i can't make index server my site search catalog, and i wonder if the full text is the solution. i think that i wll have to you create new table called some thing like "site text" and i will need to write every text twice- one the the table (let's say "articles table") and one to the text. other wise- there is problems finding the right urlof the text, searching different tables with different columns name and so on...
so i thought create site search table, with the columns:
id, text, url
and to write every thing to this table.
but some how ot look the wrong way, that every forum post, every article, album picture or joke will insert twice to the sqr server...
what do you think?

Full-Text Search: Prefix / Suffix Search
Sep 14, 2004Please help me to create an SQL Server 2000 Stored Procedure for using prefix and suffix terms.
Example:
Say I want to find "Terminator" (1984).
I want to be able to use "Term" or "ator" as search results and still return the proper record.
Here is my Stored Procedure creation sql:
CREATE PROCEDURE sps_searchTitles(@searchTerm varchar(255)) AS
SELECT * FROM Video
WHERE FREETEXT (Video.*, '"*@searchTerm*"')
GO
--- The above does not appear to properly check both prefix ("Term---") and suffix ("---ator") terms.
I am trying to accomplish what is similarly done with LIKE '%term%'.

SQL 2012 :: FullText Search - Can Search Terms Come From Another Table
Mar 25, 2015I have a table that contains words that will be used to search another table where FullText index has been created on searchable columns. I'm basically trying to run something like this:
SELECT t1.col1, t2.col3
FROM tbl1 t1, tbl2 t2
WHERE CONTAINS (t1.col1, t2.col1)
I know this won't work but is there a way to join these two tables so the words (t2.col1) can be passed as search conditions? There is no common key on both tables so normal join won't work. I'm trying to find a way to pass the search words from one table to another.

I am trying this query:
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.%';
