I have a table with a TEXT column where the contents is just strings

  • 0

I have a table with a TEXT column where the contents is just strings of CSV numbers. Example ‘,1,76,77,115,’ Each string can have an arbitrary number of numbers.

I am trying to set up Full Text Indexing so that I can search this column rapidly. This works great. Instead of running queries with

where MY_COL LIKE '%,77,%' and MY_COL LIKE '%,115,%'

I can do

where CONTAINS(MY_COL,'77 and 115')

However, when I try to search for a single character it doesn’t work.

where CONTAINS(MY_COL,'1')

But I know that there should be records returned! I quickly found that I need to edit the Noise file and rebuild the index. But even after doing that it still doesn’t work.

  1. Working with relational databases that way is going to hurt.

    Use a proper schema. Either store the values in different rows or use an array datatype for the column.

    That will make solving the problem trivial.
