Hi,
Can we create full-text index on a document that resides on a file system and we have got the path to that document in the database.
Thanks and regards

I am working the Books Online documentation for the full-text search feature of SQL Server 2005 Express Advanced and having a problem following the instructions.
I made sure to choose the "Full Text Search" option during installation of VB 2005 Express Advanced.
I downloaded, installed, and attached the AdventureWorks database successfully.
I checked to ensure that the database was enabled for full-text search, but could not follow the instructions for indexing a table within the database. Here are the instructions from Books Online:
To enable a table for full-text indexing
Expand the server group, expand Databases, expand User Databases, and expand the database that contains the table you want to enable for full-text indexing.
Right-click the table that you want to enable for full-text indexing.
Select Full-Text index, and then click Enable Full-Text indexing.
Another document notes:
To create a full-text index on a table, the table must have a single, unique not null column. For example, consider a full-text index for the Document table in Adventure Works in which the DocumentID column is the primary key column.
When I right-click the Document table (Production.Document) in the AdventureWorks database, there is no option to "Select Full-Text Index" or "Enable Full Text indexing".
Am I missing something here?
How do I get the the table indexed for full text search?
Hi
I have a Full Text index on a table with an image field that is successfully indexing .doc, .pdf and .rtf files.
Keyword searching this is no problem.
What i want to be able to do is perform a similarity search. by this i mean pass in a Key_ID (documentID) and have the database return a list of Key_IDs (documents) which are similar.
By similar i mean contain mostly the same keywords in roughly the same quantities
Thanks
I am using the following plumbing code to search a database column for a keyword. I can't use full-test indexing so I came up w/ this work around. But It has many flaws so I'm looking for a better way. Thx in advance.

We replicate a SQL2000 database (DataBaseA) to a SQL2000 database (DataBaseB) by using the Restore function and hasn't change its logical name but only the physical data path and file name. It is running fine for a year. We use the same way to migrate the DataBaseB to a new SQL2005 server with the Restore function and the daily operation is running perfect. However, when we do the Backup of DatabaseB in the SQL2005, it just prompt the error message
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The backup of full-text catalog 'DataBaseA' is not permitted because it is not online. Check errorlog file for the reason that full-text catalog became offline and bring it online. Or BACKUP can be performed by using the FILEGROUP or FILE clauses to restrict the selection to include only online data. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
Please note we left the DataBaseA in the old SQL2000 server.
Please help on how we can delete the Full-text catalog from DatabaseB so we can do a backup
Many Thanks
I need to create a stored procedure that allows a full text search with multiple filters. The FTS is a three variable proximity (x near y near z) drawing from three textboxes which works fine in my VB application:
WHERE CONTAINS(SectionText, ' """ & SearchTerm1 & """ NEAR """ & SearchTerm2 & """ NEAR """ & SearchTerm3 & """ ')
The filters consist of 4 comboboxes and 2 textboxes. I am trying to use the dynamic SQL approach found here:
http://www.sommarskog.se/dyn-search.html
The dynamic SQL in the stored procedure that I have created based on this model works fine for filtering, but I have not been able to get my FTS query integrated with it. I have tried various ways of declaring the SearchTerms as parameters, etc. but no luck.
Any help in getting this to work (or advice for using a different approach that is more appropriate) would be greatly appreciated.

What is the best way of using the Full-Text feature on HTML?
I want to only search the text and omit the html tags.
If that involves storing as a different format, can someone tell me the best way of doing that?
I'm very new to sql and especially full-text.
Thanks.
Hi,I would like to have a full-text search from a sql server database in my aspx page. I have tried to do it by creating a Dataset with a DataTable where there is a query like:
SELECT title, yearFROM ProjectsWHERE title like N'%@Search%'
Problem is with the like operator - the visual studio does not reconize the @Search as a parameter, as it reconnizes it in the query below (which works fine by the way):
SELECT Projects.*, theme AS Expr1FROM ProjectsWHERE (theme = @theme)
Can anybody help me how to deal with this problem, which is the best way to have a full text search?
Cheers, ArtoV
I thought this would be quite simple but can't find the correct syntax:ALTER Procedure usp_Product_Search_Artist_ProductTitle
(@ProductTitle varchar(255))
AS
SELECT ProductTitle
FROM tbl_Product
WHERE CONTAINS(dbo.tbl_Product.ProductTitle, @ProductTitle)
My problem is that if I pass "LCD Flat Screen" as teh @ProductTitle parameter the query falls over as it contains spaces. Guess i'm looking for something like: WHERE CONTAINS(dbo.tbl_Product.ProductTitle, '"' + @ProductTitle + "'")Thanks in advance.R
I have a following problem. I have installed the
Microsoft Search Service. It is visible in the Service
Manager and is shown as running. The platform is a
Windows XP professional machine running SQL Server 2000
developer. I am using the service off the local host. I
can not enable the Full-Text search on the database as
that field is grayed out in the tools menu. Having read
the KB article 270671 I tried to use the stored procedure
sp_fulltext_database 'enable' to achieve the desired
result, but recieved an error 7609 Full-Text Search is
not installed, or a full-text component cannot be
loaded. At least according to the Service Manager the
Microsoft Search service is up and running. Any ideas as
to what is causing this. Thanks a lot.

Hi,
Can anyone please explain the proper precedure for copying a SQL Express database between two instances?
I am accessing the database without problems from a local web application. And I want to copy the database to a SQL Express instance on another server, running the same web application.
I run into two problems every time I copy:
1) Orphaned users. I have to drop the database users and the re-map the server users to database users.
2) The full-text indexes are not available after copy, so I have to drop and re-create the indexes and the catalog.
And I suspect there's an easier way..

Is it possible to do a full restore of a database without restoring the full-text catalogs? At the end of each month, we restore a copy of a database for quick access to month-end data with a different name. e.g. we restore the database DBN as DBN1107. Since upgrading to SQL 2005, the restore is failing because it it trying to restore the full-text catalog.

While attempting to query a Full-Text enabled database where a catalog exists for the database, I receive the following error: "Full-text catalog %database% is in an unusable state. Drop and re-create this full-text catalog." I have dropped and re-created the full-text catalog numerous times with no luck. I have also stopped and restarted the SQL Server service and Full-Text service engines mulitple times with no luck. Other items to note are, we're running SQL 2005 64 bit Enterprise Edition SP1 on a Windows 2003 server. We have an identical setup in development and full-text indexing works without any hitches. I have also checked both the SQL server permissions and the local file-system permissions and they also seem to be more then adequate; in addition, they match the security configurations of our development environment. Lastly, the production database is a restore of the development database.
In short, I'm hoping that someone may have a potential solution other then reinstalling SQL Server...which may end up being the only solution.
Any help or ideas are greatly appreciated!

Hello Everyone,
I am developing a asp.net application using sql server 2005 with full-text searching.
Question
I am looking for a recommnded hardware setup for the databases server. I know there is no one answer but I am wondeirng if there is a microsoft guide that I could use.
If anyone has any experience, i would welcome your comments as well.
I am estiamting that the full text index will be about 2-4 gb in size, most of the activity will be full-text searches.
Also, any good benchmarks out there for full-text searching or sql server tps ?
Thank you for your time!!
We are trying to restore from a backup (.bak) of a sql 2005 database with full text catologs to sql 2012.
We are getting errors saying that the backup file context are different from what we are trying to restore to, even if we try to create a new database from the backup.The new database is just a test database. The source is a production database with full cataologs.
The normal restore from a bak file does not seem to work.
We dont need the full text catalogs in the new database, but cannot change settings in the source production database.
Is there a way to take a backup of the sql 2005 database without the full text cataologs being included ? , without changing setting in the source database beforehand ?
Hi,
I have visual studio 2005 with the sql server express edition that is installed by default when installing vs2005.
I am used to work from within vs when I want to create and work with databases for my web sites (I dont have visual manager installed).
I would like to enable full text search on a table's column.
Is there an easy way to do that from within vs or is it necessary to install another copy of sql server express with advanced services as well as sql server managment studio express?
How can I know if full text search is enabled?
Thanx in advance!

Hi
I am having some problems figuring out how the SSCE database connection string is set correctly in a forms application.
I have a database file, Database1.sdf, in the main directory of the application. I can add records to that via VS server explorer no probs. When I use any of the following connection strings in app.config..
Data Source ="|DataDirectory|Database1.sdf"
Data Source =".Database1.sdf"
Data Source ="Database1.sdf"
It will databind to a gridview of a combobox fine. However, when I create a form with some textboxes, build an insert string and use any of those connection strings with "Properties.Settings.Default.Database1ConnectionString" it just does nothing. No errors, no records inserted, just nothing.
But, if I change the connection stirng to...
Data Source ="D:\path\to\my\application\directory\Database1.sdf" (Just so happens I have this application on a D drive)
It all works just fine, including the insert.
So how do I refer to the database with virtual vs. absolute path? As far as I can tell the very first connection string I used should work, and should publish with the application.
Thanks!

Hi - 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 RelatedHi all,I've the following scenario: One Full Text Search enabled SQL Server Table with one image type field that holds document uploaded from users.The idea is to store binary document(.doc. xls, .pdf, .ppt, html, .xml and so on) and using SQL server full text search i can retrieve record that contains certaind word or words.I have no problems with them. So imagine i do a simple select * from Documents where a=b and i get one collumn with binary document field.With this scenario, i want to "extract" that text from that document + 20 words left and 20 right to show user some info and help him to search desired document (not only for its type or title). Like search engines do.But believe me, i cant find out any component, class or something to do such a thing.I think, the hard work is done with full text search engine...Sql server has that data, but it can decodeI'm so desperate. I would accept answers such "sorry, it can't be done", from a experienced user, but i need to know Thanks in advance
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
I've created a dataset with 27 measures and 20 query parameters. When attempting to load the report containing this dataset I'm shown the message;
'Document contains one or more extremely long lines of text. These lines will cause the editor to respond slowly when you open the file. Do you still want to open the file.'
If I do open the file it does indeed respond very slowly or even hangs.
I can manually format the XML code but amending the code in any way (i.e. using the layout designer to move a chart) removes my formatting and re-introduces the problem.
Are these an unreasonable amount of measures / parameters?

Hi, i'm trying to do a full text search on my site to add a weighting score to my results. I have the following database structure:
Documents: - DocumentID (int, PK) - Title (varchar) - Content (text) - CategoryID (int, FK)
Categories: - CategoryID (int, PK) - CategoryName (varchar)
I need to create a full text index which searches the Title, Content and CategoryName fields. I figured since i needed to search the CategoryName field i would create an indexed view. I tried to execute the following query:
CREATE VIEW vw_DocumentsWITH SCHEMABINDING ASSELECT dbo.Documents.DocumentID, dbo.Documents.Title, dbo.Documents.[Content], dbo.Documents.CategoryID, dbo.Categories.CategoryNameFROM dbo.Categories INNER JOIN dbo.Documents ON dbo.Categories.CategoryID = dbo.Documents.CategoryID
GOCREATE UNIQUE CLUSTERED INDEX vw_DocumentsIndexON vw_Documents(DocumentID)
But this gave me the error:
Cannot create index on view 'dbname.dbo.vw_Documents'. It contains text, ntext, image or xml columns.
I tried converting the Content to a varchar(max) within my view but it still didn't like.
Appreciate if someone can tell me how this can be done as surely what i'm trying to do is not ground breaking.
