The Upgrade Advisor noted that SQL Server 2005 changed the way full text catalogs are utilized. It says that you must ensure tha tthe file group associated with the base table has enough space to accomodate the additional space requirements for full-text indexes. It says to use the formula (2*FTK + 34 bytes) * RC where FTK=full text key size and RC=rowcount of the table. I know which table but if I do sp_help on the table, it doesn't tell me anything about the size of the full text key. I've tried searching TechNet and I'm either not finding the answer or I don't know enough to know if it's there. Can anybody help me?
Does anyone have experience with Full Text catalogs on large tables? We have a full text catalog on a table with about 30 million rows. Acording to BOL, once you get over 1 million you'll need to make some adjustements. Our system works, but we randomly get the following errors with ad hoc queries. The server has 8GB of RAM and 4 3GHz processors. Does anyone have experience working with a table this big? Any suggetions as to what could cause these errors? The only thing I could find was BUG#: 469483 on MS's site, but we're not using any OR clauses
Thanks
Here's the errors....

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.
Hello everyone ! I want to perform Full Text Search with SQL Server 2000. My documents (.doc, .xls, .txt, .pdf) are stored in a SQL Server field which is binary (the type of the column is image). I would like to know, how you can extract pieces of text from the documents. Example: I have a ASPX page with codebehind in C# making the search in a table in SQL server that is full text indexed. I make a search looking for the word "peace", than SQL server will take care about the search and return it to me the rows that match with that. But also I'd like to extract the 50 characters before and after where sql server found the word "peace" to show in the result page. Does anyone has any idea how to work around it ? Best regards. Yannick
I have a column in a table that has a type TEXT,when I pull the length of a row it returns 88222 but when I select from that column it dows not show all the text in the result set.
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.
'Open sql connection SqlConnection1.Open()
Dim datareader2 As SqlClient.SqlDataReader datareader2 = cmdFindRowsWithKeyword.ExecuteReader Dim strMsg As String Dim intRowToFlag As Integer Dim strRowsToGet As String Dim strKeywordAsTyped As String Dim strKeywordAllCaps As String Dim strKeywordAllLower As String Dim strKeywordFirstLetterCap As String Dim FirstLetter As String
'Assign keyword as typed to variable strKeywordAsTyped = txtSearchFor.Text 'Assign keyword as typed to variable then convert it to all uppercase strKeywordAllCaps = txtSearchFor.Text strKeywordAllCaps = strKeywordAllCaps.ToUpper 'Assign keyword as typed to variable then convert it to all lowercase strKeywordAllLower = txtSearchFor.Text strKeywordAllLower = strKeywordAllLower.ToLower 'Assign keyword as typed to variable then convert it so just the first letter is in uppercase strKeywordFirstLetterCap = txtSearchFor.Text FirstLetter = strKeywordFirstLetterCap.Chars(0) FirstLetter = FirstLetter.ToUpper strKeywordFirstLetterCap = strKeywordFirstLetterCap.Remove(0, 1) strKeywordFirstLetterCap = strKeywordFirstLetterCap.Insert(0, FirstLetter)
'If the string contains the keyword as typed in all caps all lowercase or w/ the 1st letter in caps then flag that row.

I'm new to the DBA world, and have no one else in the company to look up to. Does anyone know what I might need to check out or do when the Data File Size is 204% full? Or is this not necessarily a bad thing?
I'm getting this from a Diagnostic tool I have.
The number of tables is 148 Data file size 35,941 MB Data Size 26,549.92 MB Index Size 177,130.02 MB Log File Size 5.05 MB
Has anyone come across a more accurate method than sp_spaceused to estimate the size of a full database backup for SQL Server 2000 ?
I have found this to have too great a variance (even after running updateusage) to rely on any accuracy for it. I have also looked at perhaps using the ALLOCATED Pages indicated in the GAM pages but this also seems to be pretty inaccurate.
I have a number of servers where space can be limited and backups using Maintenance Plans have occasionally failed because they delete the old backups AFTER they do the latest one. I am writing a script which can check the space remaining and adjust the backup accordingly but the variance I have observed so far with sp_spaceused is too great.
Can you not add a text column to a full text index?? If I change it to a nvarchar it works fine but if I change it to a text column it wont index. Anyone know how to fix this?
I have a text column which my users use extensively for like queries. The table has 1.3 Millon rows and has seen som eperformance issue ie it does a table scan and blocks other processes.
I was wondering if anyone how to handle this coulmn can I create indexes or better can text column support full text indexing.
Anyone who can shed any ideas as what might be the best possible solution will be great
In my enrv. DBA just migrated SQL Server 2000 Databases from WINDOWS 2000 to WINDOWS 2003 Enterprise Edition and the same SQL version. The problem which i need to analyse
1. Why the full backup size is occupying only 70GB when DB size is 120GB?
Here is the situation
Full Backup is taken once every day ---- 70gb Diff Backup Taken every 3 hrs till 5 PM ----- size is 50GB Transaction log backed up every 10 min uptill 8 PM ----- not a big size
I am really confused as to why Full DB Backup is taking only 70GB.............Can some one please throw a Light on how the SQL Server 2000 Backup functions.
i am tring to create the full text catalog I am following the direction at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189520.aspx but on the last command it gives me an error
'PK_problem' is not a valid index to enforce a full-text search key. A full-text search key must be a unique, non-nullable, single-column index which is not offline, is not defined on a non-deterministic or imprecise nonpersisted computed column, and has maximum size of 900 bytes. Choose another index for the full-text key.
also I tried the wizard in the managment express but it does not have a option when I right click on the table for Full-Text Index
I created a new catalog and a new index but when I start a search the grid come back empty I didnt insert any data into the table until after I created the catalog and index I dont think it has indexed the data yet. How do I force this or make it???? I have another example where I inserted data and then created the catalog and index and did a search and the proper rows came back but then I inserted new data and searched on a keyword that should have brought it up but nothing showed?
Hi, I have a SQL statement that works great when I don't use a SQL Parameter, but when I do it just takes the @Searchfor as literal text "@SearchFor" instead of the string @SearchFor represents. Any ideas? Below is the two versions of the sql statements sqlComm.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@SearchFor", strSearchFor)); sqlComm.CommandText = "SELECT RANK, intID, chTitle, chDescription " "FROM FREETEXTTABLE( tblItems, *, 'ISABOUT("+ strSearchFor +" WEIGHT(1.0))') a " + "JOIN tblItems b on a.[KEY] = b.intID ORDER BY RANK DESC; ";
sqlComm.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@SearchFor", strSearchFor)); sqlComm.CommandText = "SELECT RANK, intID, chTitle, chDescription " + "FROM FREETEXTTABLE( tblItems, *, 'ISABOUT(@SearchFor WEIGHT(1.0))') a " + "JOIN tblItems b on a.[KEY] = b.intID ORDER BY RANK DESC; ";
I have a Full-text search that is being performed on a variable (@Description) see part of querie below: WHERE (CONTAINS([Description], @Description) This search only seems to work when a text fo 3 or greater characters is used Ball, but not for "an" or "a". it also does not search on part of a word i.e. "Gard" of "Garden" Two things: 1) How do I perform the CONTAINS search for part of a word or "a". 2) How do I perform a search that returns all values, when I leave the input feild blank it returns no records. Many thanks in advance
Hi I have a full text index on my product table.

Thanks My query:SELECT * From Product WHERE FREETEXT (description, @SearchString)
I have implemented Full text search in my web application. I am using sql server 2005 database. I used “contains “Keyword for full text search. These are syntax as given below: CONTAINS ( { column | * } , '< contains_search_condition >' ) < contains_search_condition > ::= { < simple_term > | < prefix_term > | < generation_term > | < proximity_term > | < weighted_term > } | { ( < contains_search_condition > ) { AND | AND NOT | OR } < contains_search_condition > [ ...n ] } My search gives correct results according to AND NOT and OR. But, it is not working if I used AND. Please give me solution. Its very urgent for me……
full text indexing Hi, In SQL Server 2005, if I set full text indexing enables in column MyDesc and 1. use “Select * from MyTable where MyDesc LIKE ‘%abc%’� would this be using full text indexing? Or have to use Contains to get it be in use? 2. Once I create the full-text index, should I be setting it to populate periodically? Isn’t it populating itself?

How might it be possible to have on the fly full-text indexing utilizing the FREETEXT and CONTAINS statements so that when I enter a piece of data into the database it is immediatly searchable using the full-text indexing features?
