Then why don't you build the index for all words? When adding or updating the data in the database, check all varchar columns and separate all words from them. After that, add them to your index table(s) and apply references to the row containing the data.

If you want to do this in the db, I think it's just modelling question.

Another good approach is the one Bob provided if you can take this to application level.

You may take a look at Full Text Search, you could mix the strategy that the fellow developer has pointed before (scanning the tables names in the sys.objects table) plus querying the tables using FTS.
Google is your friend, you could find a lot of info about FTS.
Hope this helps.

Good Afternoon Guys

i have the Following Query

SELECT * 
INTO #Rows
FROM OPENXML ( @doc , '/Timetable/Rows' , 2) 
WITH ( 	ID int,
	Descr varchar(64),
	StartTime smalldatetime,
	Duration int,
	Offs varchar(64)
)

I understand the First Part

SELECT * 
INTO #Rows
FROM OPENXML ( @doc , '/Timetable/Rows' , 2)

but i dont understand Why With ? can someone Explain what is With Doig with Columns

Thank you

the WITH is effectively giving you the table definition. SQL cannot work out datatype etc from xml, so you need to supply a mapping.

Problem Regarding Cursor

ais0711-Dec-08 22:56

11-Dec-08 22:56

I had created a Stored Procedure.Its created successfully.I had written Cursor in that.

I had mentioned some of the code below:-

-----------

DECLARE InsertLog CURSOR local
FOR SELECT @ColumnName FROM [@TableName] WHERE @PrimaryColumn=@PrimaryValue
FOR READ ONLY
OPEN InsertLog
FETCH NEXT FROM InsertLog into @ColumnValue

----------
I am passing values like ColumnName TableName and where condition column and values as parameter

When I pass value to it gives an error

Invalid object name '@TableName'.

Can any body tell me why this error is coming.
It's urgent

I could be totally wrong here as I'm not a database expert but, @TableName is a parameter therefore it should not be enclosed in []. Try removing the [] from around @TableName.

11-Dec-08 23:39

Thanks for reply,
But if I try to remove it,it gives an error,

Must declare the table variable "@TableName".

Jay Royall11-Dec-08 23:46

Well, have you declared the @TableName parameter?

You cannot do a select from a variable unless the varaible is a table data type. The same applies to @ColumnName.

Can i insert bulk data to remote sqlserver

This query is totally screwed.

You cannot do the following

ArifShaikh wrote:
FROM [@TableName]

There is not such table as @TableName and SQL cannot evaluate the variable in the from clause.

You also cannot do the following

ArifShaikh wrote:
WHERE @PrimaryColumn=@PrimaryValue

SQL does not evaluate the variable.

You are going to have to think up a completely different method for logging.

hi,
My problem is that when i want to insert bulk data to my local sqlserver database it execute successfully.the code is:

insert into xmlproperty select * from openrowset(bulk 'C:\celtic\App_Data\PW_XMLfeed_15224.xml',single_clob) as XmlColumn

But when i insert same in remote database it generate error:

Msg 4834, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
You do not have permission to use the bulk load statement.

My question is can i insert bulk data to sqlserver like this way.if not, how can i insert?
wating for reply.
Thanks

I think you need ADMINISTER BULK OPERATIONS server privilege.

i am using share hosting so sqlserver and xml file is in different places.can i insert this xml data to remote sql server using bulk copy?Does both database and file need to remain in same server?

Yes you can but the SQL Server must have access to the file. Most likely you need to use domain credentials for the account under which the SQL Server is executed and make sure that this account has access to the file via network. Also use UNC-paths to specify the location.

As I described they don't have to, but it makes things a whole lot easier.

No problem Smile | :)

If for some reason it becomes a problem to get access from host to the client, you always have other options. For example:
- you could create a stored procedure which takes the xml-data as a parameter. After that you load the data into the xmlproperty-table inside the procedure (not necessarily using file in this case).
- you could use ftp or something else to upload the file to the database server (or near it) and after that you use openrowset from the ftp target location
- if you're using .Net framework at client side, you could use SqlBulkCopy class at the client to load the data to the table etc.
