He wrote four articles on that
http://databasejournal.com/features/mssql/article.php/3486331

SQL Server Full Text Search has the ability to index several types of 
binary data too.
Included are Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents,
along with plain text, XML, and HTML pages.

MSDE doesn't have this option.

How about using the Google Desktop Search Engine.
It also searches pdf documents.
The trick here is to search only certain filetypes
by adding filetype:html or filetype:txt
to the end of search string
It also returns all the data in an xml file, so you can search that
directly from VBA or VB.Net code.
It doesn't point you to the exact string only the document name
that contains it.
It is a work in progress, You need AddIns( open source
being developed) to search certain filetypes greater than 5000 words.
I know they exist for PDF, text and html.
The XML doesn't return non ISO-8859-1 characters non-western european 
correctly in UTF-8.
It is fast less than 5 secs for about 30000 files on a 20 gig disk, 
indexing takes about 12 hours intially.
So these maybe showstoppers.

I have some starter VBA code that retrieves and parses xml for this  if 
you want it

To all,

As an emergency about one month back we installed the SQL Server 2000
evaluation edition onto one of our servers, we now have a copy of SQL

about installing it i.e. will it let me upgrade the evaluation edition
or should I install as a new instance etc and then copy the database's
across and uninstall the evaluation edition ?

Hi Paul:

Two parallel running systems is my recommendation. Install the second
version. Port the details and then when you are sure the second version is
running correctly the first version can be safely removed. (I have never had
two versions of the same SQL running on the same machine but there should be
no issues as long as they are named differently.)

Subject: [dba-SQLServer] Insert trigger question
Message-ID: <0CC84C9461AE6445AD5A602001C41C4B05A314@mercury.tnco-inc.com>

If I have 20 records to insert into a table, in SS7, and I do it iteratively
will my insert trigger execute 20 times?

Currently the trigger uses a cursor based off of the inserted table and
fetches 1 record at a time but I'm thinking that if I perform the insert
task as stated above that I don't need a cursor because there is only on
record in the inserted table anyway.
Am I right?

Thanks!
JR

If you are inserting via a sproc this is true, however it is best if
you add some error handling to make sure that you are only dealing w/
a single record, otherwise you may want to add the functionality to
handle a larger recordset, this can be true if you have other
procedures that insert multple records at a time, or if you end up
having to run an administrative task where you insert multiple records
at once.

I'm guessing that you force a one-to-one in SQL Server the same way you do
in Access -- by setting a unique index on the foreign key? 
 
Is this correct?

If you are looking to search text fields, you may want to consider full text
indexing.  Once that is implemented on the database (this is not installed
standard, and requires a job to update the index regularly) the syntax is:

[YourIDfield] In (Select [YourIDfield] From [YourTable] Where Contains
([YourTextField],'words separated by AND'))

	Value
Message-ID: <14A7AB003EFD444BBB193A23128DA20E391381@AL-PRI.Aldridge.local>

To all,

I have done a little work with SQL Server stored procedures with
parameters (very simple ones), i.e. I have a stored procedure that
selects a client based on the user entering an Account Number:

	CREATE PROCEDURE [genesis_select_ClientDetails] 
		@strACNo		[nvarchar](20)

	AS

	SELECT		* 

	FROM 		tblClient

	WHERE		JobNo		=	@strACNo

	GO

This works well enough, but what I want to do is put a simple check in
there where if @strACNo IS NULL then I want @strACNo to equal the very
first Account number in the Client table.  I could do the check via my
Visual Basic FE, but was wondering if it is possible to incorporate it
into the stored procedure above.

Thanks in advance for any help on this.....

Will using a default value work?

CREATE PROCEDURE [genesis_select_ClientDetails] 
   @strACNo		[nvarchar](20) = '000001'

It should set teh @strACNo to '000001' when the input is Null.

Thats actually a great idea (if you are sure your
first ID is 1, otherwise set a variable to the min ID
such as:

DECLARE @MinID As INT

IF ISNULL(@strACNo,0) = 0 
SELECT @MinID = MIN(AccountNo) FROM tblClient


By the way are you the same Nick Van from Access-L (or
was it AccessD) several years back?

Hi all

I have never wanted to use full text indexing before. I come to try and use
it for the first time and I find I can't... No matter which of my databases
I select, the Full-text Indexing menu item is greyed out. I've searched
Books Online and MSDN. Is there something I'm missing here?

Did you install the Full Text Indexing component when installing Sql Server? It's a seperate component in the install. Full Text indexing is also not available through MSDE.

Roz,
  you must have mail set to off I had questions on Full Text Indexing
a while back...
this is the article I found online for installing, and setting up...
http://www.databasejournal.com/features/mssql/article.php/3441981

One particular thing I found out was that I had to do the Full Text
Indexing "ON" the server I was logged on to, for some reason even tho
I have the client tools on my workstation I have to visit (or TS into)
the server to setup fulltext indexing... alternatively I was able to
remotely do this from my workstation using QA.

Subject: [dba-SQLServer] Convert from ntext to varchar

 

Dear Group,

 

It seems that it might be a good idea to convert the ntext Comment
columns I have in a number of tables to varchar, even though the maximum
length is much less and there's no Unicode capability. The Comments in
these tables aren't going to be book length.

 

I'm having trouble, though converting from ntext to varchar. The
existing columns are all ntext 16. I've tried using a stored procedure
like this:

 

CREATE PROCEDURE _spTmpConvertKeyStatsComment AS

UPDATE tblKeyStats

SET NewKeyStatsComment = CAST(KeyStatsComment AS varchar)

 

GO

 

In the tblKeyStats table I added a varchar 16 column named
NewKeyStatsComments. As you can see I tried to use the CAST function.
When I run this sproc in a SQL script, none of the data is copied into
the NewKeyStatsComment column. I will say that some of the original
KeyStatsComment values are NULL.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Regards,

Steve,

Try converting nText to Text.  You are essentially taking a very large 
field and trying to reduce it to 16 characters with the varchar size you 
are using.  You might check out UPDATETEXT in the books on line.

Hi Paul:

There is ways in many cases ways around using the 'GO' but it is a good way
to separate the sections. This seems like an odd question.(?)

I think Paul asks, because in BOL you find a lot of examples w/ the GO 
keyword aftwards... I think it would help him a lot if he picked up a good 
Stored Procedures book. Altho BOL do seem very through.

The true reason I ask is because I am passing the procedure two
parameters, and after the first GO keyword it loses the parameters, but
when I tried with just GO at the very end it worked fine.  Yet in many
examples I have seen they have had GO after each Update/Insert

Typically you wouldn't use the "GO" keyword in a stored procedure, instead 
you'd use the RETURN keyword when you completed the set of transactions you 
intended.

Subject: [dba-SQLServer] Linked Server - Stored Procedure Performance issue
Message-ID: <2A261FF9D5EBCA46940C11688CE872EE01E969DF@goexchange2.pghcorning.com>

HELLO ALL,

Summary: Pass through query in Access using DSN (Oracle is faster then
Linked Server in SQL Server using Stored procedure).


I currently have an application that pulls data from our ERP system
which is in Oracle 9i, Net8 client.  The current application has an
Access Front end (A2k2) and a SQL server back end.  What I have been
trying to do over the last 2 days is convert all PassThrough queries,
into stored procedures.  So far this has worked beautifully, and
eliminated a ton of code which I had developed to dynamically alter the
where clause and now only have to pass in a parameter for a stored
procedure.  

Anyway, I ran into a stumbling block.  The above approach helped in both
simplicity and speed for all information stored in SQL server.  However
the information stored in Oracle hasn't gone so easy.  I set up a linked
server, so that all authentication will come from the server and won't
have to worry about adding a new user, and having to make sure they have
access to the DNS.  Anyway, the current pass through query will run in
roughly 1-2 seconds.  When converted to a procedure to use the linked
server, it jumps up to 1 minute 47 seconds.  The fastest I could get it
down to is 1 minute 30 seconds.

Any tips/tricks/criticism welcome... 

Thanks in advance for any help to solve this issue.

Here are the basics of what I have tried...

Hi!
Does anyone know of a way to dynamically create an Access database from
scratch in a DTS package to be a destination?
Would this require a custom task?  How do you create that?  I thought I
found some code, but I couldn't get anything to work, probably due to my
lack of VB knowledge.

Thanks for whatever help anyone can provide!

GO

This line 'Level ' + CONVERT(nvarchar, at intMin) as you will see converts a number into a string and adds it to Level (i.e Level 1, Level 2 etc etc).....The maximum a level will ever be is 999, so what I would like instead of Level 1, Level 2 etc etc is Level 001, Level 002 etc etc.  Can someone tell me the function or code that I can use to achieve this.

Thanks in advance for any help on this...

This line 'Level ' + CONVERT(nvarchar, at intMin) as you will see converts
a number into a string and adds it to Level (i.e Level 1, Level 2 etc
etc).....The maximum a level will ever be is 999, so what I would like
instead of Level 1, Level 2 etc etc is Level 001, Level 002 etc etc.
Can someone tell me the function or code that I can use to achieve this.

Thanks in advance for any help on this...

Wow, that's much shorter than what I've been using:

REPLICATE('0', 3 - LEN(@intMin)) + CAST(@intMin AS VARCHAR(3))

or if substituting for NULLS:

REPLICATE('0', 3 - LEN(ISNULL(@intMin,'000'))) + CAST(ISNULL(@intMin,'000')
AS VARCHAR(3))


How did you come up with that? If I was to see that, I would assume that it
would show up as 000999 (assuming @intMin = 999)

To all,

the RIGHT function assures that he will only be getting back the 3
digit data, because he is "ANDING" the 0's, then only selects to the
right of that assuring him he will always have 3 digits or characters

very clever indeed...

Hi!
Does anyone know of a way to dynamically create an Access database from
scratch in a DTS package to be a destination?
Would this require a custom task?  How do you create that?  I thought I
found some code, but I couldn't get anything to work, probably due to my
lack of VB knowledge.

Thanks for whatever help anyone can provide!

There are a couple of options depending on what you are trying to do.  You
could do it through an ActiveX task or you can do it through a TransferData
task.

Hello!
Thanks for your response.  I'm interested in the ActiveX option.  Have you
done this before?  I want to create the Access database file from scratch
via ActiveX, but not sure how to go about doing that.  If you have any info,
it sure would be appreciated!
Thanks!
Carolina

If someone has VB code that can create a database that might work.  I don't
have any, I have created Access databases from within other Access
databases, but nothing else.

You can also use  ADOX VB code to create fields and indexes in tables.
Sample code here
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/odeopg/html/deovrcreatingmodifyingaccesstables.asp
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/odeopg/html/deovrcreatingmodifyingindexes.asp?frame=true

You can set keys and relationships  with MS SQL though. (lower case user 
defined)
   CREATE TABLE Table1 (Id COUNTER CONSTRAINT PrimaryKey PRIMARY KEY, 
MyText TEXT (10))
   CREATE TABLE Table2 (Id LONG, MyText TEXT)
   ALTER TABLE Table2 ADD CONSTRAINT Relation1 FOREIGN KEY ([Id])   
REFERENCES Table1 ([Id])
