Question

I have full text catalogue defined on below table on all_metadata row:

ft_id   record_id   am_changestamp  all_metadata

The SQL I am running is:

select f0.record_id from ft_all_metadata as f0, 
containstable(ft_all_metadata, all_metadata, N'Images') as kt where f0.ft_id = kt.[key]

The SQL returns the first row but not the second!!!! I am really baffled!

I have tried re-creating and re-building the full-text catalogue with no luck.

Your help is appreciated,
Bruce

Answer 1

I had relied on SQL Server Manager GUI to do this and must have done something incorrectly.

So decided to do this through commands and this works now:

exec sp_fulltext_catalog ‘Catalogu_Name’, ‘create’

exec sp_fulltext_table ‘table_name’, ‘create’, ‘Catalogu_Name’, ‘table_index_name’

exec sp_fulltext_column ‘table_name’, ‘column_name’, ‘add’

exec sp_fulltext_table ‘table_name’, ‘activate’

exec sp_fulltext_catalog ‘Catalogu_Name’, ‘start_full’

I created a separate index for table_index_name on the primary key.
