Using Contains To Find Inflectional Variations Of Multi Words With AND Logic
Jan 23, 2007
what if you want to search with AND logic using the FORMSOF(inflectional,...) methodology.
if my search phrase is "sport award" I can easily do an OR search using the following in my where clause:
CONTAINS(Colname,'formsof(INFLECTIONAL,sport,award).
but the and is far more tricky....
does anyone know how to do this without having multiple Contains statements (which greatly increases overhead)?
I know that I can use AND in a straight contains like so:
CONTANS(column, '"sport" AND "award"') but this does not allow me to explore inflectional variations on the words...
nesting multiple FORMSOF's doesn't seem to work either like so:
contains(column,'"formsof(inflectional,sport)"' AND 'formsof(inflectional,award)"')
I know from other posts that this works: CONTAINS(column, 'formsof(inflectional,sport) AND formsof(inflectional,award)'
But I have an advanced googlesque search that includes "Without the Words:". I want to include inflectionals in the list of words to be omitted. Can this be done?
So far I have not had any success with: 'NOT(formsof(inflectional,sport)) AND NOT(formsof(inflectional, award))'
This procedure has been returning duplicate numbers. (Tested with scripts that called this proc and put value in a table.)
How can it return duplicates? Does the transaction Begin/Commit not guarantee transactional consistency?

I'm having a db programming drama. We have a series of questionnaires; each questionnaire is comprised of a series of forms that a user must fill out. A document is produced at the end of the questionnaire. Some of the fields are required and some are not, depending on how the fields are filled out can make the document look very different.
My aim is to produce something that lists all the possibilities that the question can be filled out in. The list of the form fields are in a SQL Server 200 database table "tblDocPageFields", the structure of the table is similar to this:
tblDocPageFields - ID - Page ID - Field Name - Field Order
Another table specifies whether the field is required or not which contains the fieldID and a validation Message to be displayed if the field is not filled in.
tblDocPageFieldsReq - ID - FieldID - ValidationText
For example if I have a document with 2 fields and the first one of them are required the possibilities are:
Field1 Field2
Filled Nothing Filled Filled
NothingFilled
I need to be able to list this somehow, as some of the surveys have a huge amount of questions that need to be checked for all possibilities. Does any one have any idea How I can accomplish this through a stored procedure or ASP logic or something… Please help!!!
I have a model with "Purchase Date" column. The Model has created the date variations "Purchase Day", "Purchase Month", "Purchase Year", "Purchase Quarter", "First Purchase Date" and "Last Purchase Date".
When I create a report using report builder, I want to list the purchase details by "Purchase Quarter,Purchase Month". The "Purchase Month" being the Integer attribute it is displaying 1,2 3... however I would like to display "Jan,Feb, Mar..." So I tried the following 1. set the Format to "MMM", this displays MMM and not "Jan, Feb, Mar..." 2. set the Expression for "Purchase Month" to "PurchaseDate" and then the Format to "MMM". this gives the "Jan, Feb, Mar..." but it displays one for each date and it doesn't aggregate.
I'm having trouble using paramaters in a full-text search with FormsOf(INFLECTIONAL:DECLARE @SearchWord nvarchar(4000) SET @SearchWord = 'tax' SELECT listing_id, RANK, name, address, city, zip, heading, phone FROM listings a, FREETEXTTABLE(listings, *, 'FormsOf(INFLECTIONAL, @SearchWord') WHERE [KEY] = a.listing_id ORDER BY RANK DESC, name
This returns no results. It treats the paramater as a NULL value. But this...
SELECT listing_id, RANK, name, address, city, zip, heading, phone FROM listings a, FREETEXTTABLE(listings, *, 'FormsOf(INFLECTIONAL, tax') WHERE [KEY] = a.listing_id ORDER BY RANK DESC, name
returns over 500 results. I've been banging my head against this for 2+hours. Google has been no help as every example shows the result hard-coded in like the second example.PLEASE HELP!!!!!!
We have 2 SQL Server 2005 machines. One has the CTP version installed,the other is the RTM.When running the query below, results are returned for the CTP versionbut not the RTM version.select * from table t1inner join containstable(table, column, 'formsof(inflectional,''bücher'')') t2on t1.[id] = t2.[key]I have checked that the same data is present in the tables on bothmachines and also that the FTI has been fully populated with a statusof "idle".Please note that the word used "bücher" is a German word and shouldreturn "buch" as a match.Is this a bug with the RTM version of SQL Server 2005??
Disaster Recovery Options based on the following criteria.
--Currently running SQL 2012 standard edition --We have 18000 databases (same schema across databases)- majority of databases are less than 2gb-- across 64 instances approximately --Recovery needs to happen within 1 hour (Not sure that this is realistic -- We are building a new data center and building dr from the ground up.
What I have looked into is:
1. Transactional Replication: Too Much Data Not viable 2. AlwaysOn Availability Groups (Need enterprise) Again too many databases and would have to upgrade all instances 3. Log Shipping is a viable option and the only one I can come up with that would work right now. Might be a management nightmare but with this many databases probably all options with be a nightmare.
More often than not, I typically don't touch DTC on clusters anymore; however on a project where the vendor states that it's required. So a couple things here.
1) Do you really need DTC per instance or one for all? 2) Should DTC be in its own resource group or within the instance's group? 2a) If in it's own resource group, how do you tie an instance to an outside resource group? tmMappingSet right?
Hello,I am trying to construct a query across 5 tables but primarily 3tables. Plan, Provider, ProviderLocation are the three primary tablesthe other tables are lookup tables for values the other tables.PlanID is the primary in Plan andPlanProviderProviderLocationLookups---------------------------------------------PlanIDProviderIDProviderIDLookupTypePlanNamePlanIDProviderStatusLookupKeyRegionIDLastName...LookupValue....FirstName...Given a PlanID I want all the Providers with a ProviderStatus = 0I can get the query to work just fine if there are records but what Iwant is if there are no records then I at least want one record withthe Plan information. Here is a sample of the Query:SELECT pln.PlanName, pln.PlanID, l3.LookupValue as Region,p.ProviderID, p.SSNEIN, pl.DisplayLocationOnPCP,pl.NoDisplayDate, pl.ProviderStatus, pl.InvalidDate,l1.LookupValue as ReasonMain, l2.LookupValue as ReasonSub,pl.InvalidDataFROM Plans plnINNER JOIN Lookups l3 ON l3.LookupType = 'REGN'AND pln.RegionID = l3.Lookupkeyleft outer JOIN Provider p ON pln.PlanID = p.PlanIDleft outer JOIN ProviderLocation pl ON p.ProviderID = pl.ProviderIDleft outer JOIN Lookups l1 ON l1.LookupType = 'PLRM'AND pl.ReasonMain = l1.LookupKeyleft outer JOIN Lookups l2 ON l2.LookupType = 'PLX1'AND pl.ReasonSub = l2.LookupkeyWHERE pln.PlanID = '123456789' AND pl.ProviderStatus = 0ORDER BY p.PlanID, p.ProviderID, pl.SiteLocationNumI know the problew the ProviderStatus on the Where clause is keepingany records from being returned but I'm not good enough at this toanother select.Can anybody give me some suggestions?ThanksDavid
I am new to Reporting Services and hope that what I am looking to do is within capabilities :-)
I have many identical schema databases residing on a number of data servers. These support individual clients accessing them via a web interface. What I need to be able to do is run reports across all of the databases. So the layout is:
Dataserver A
Database A1
Database A2
Database A3
Dataserver B
Database B1
Database B2
Dataserver C
Database C1
Database C2
Database C3
I would like to run a report that pulls table data from A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, C1, C2, C3
Now the actual number of servers is 7 and the number of databases is close to 1000. All servers are running SQL2005.
Is this something that Reporting Services is able to handle or do I need to look at some other solution?
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

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
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 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
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
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]%'
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?

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?
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 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
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
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.
hi , I want to create a function in sql server 2000 which can display the given input currency into words but in indian format eg , '12345678.50' should display as One crore twenty lacs fourty five thousand six hundred and seventy eight rs fifty paise only . Can anybody help pls
