Hi all.

I saved files ( for example: doc or pdf files) in Sql Server Database.
Now i am going to search a word or sentence inside files saved in it.

Is it possible?
If it's possible:
1- How do i do it?
2- How do i retrieve result of searching ( for example: retrieve pages that they contain that a word or sentence )?

What do you mean you saved the files in the database? Their paths or their actual contents?

Anyway, if you want to do this efficiently, you should take a look at clustering algorithms. Start here then move on to something more algorithmic.

Be warned though, if this is something you know nothing about, you wont do it in one afternoon.

Dear AndreFratelli

There are File's contents(There aren't path of Files). I have a column in Database table that there are for example: book1.pdf, book2.doc, ... (book1.doc isn't name or path, it's a Microsoft Word File. also it save in Database as bytes)

Now i am going to search a word or sentence in the column.

Can the clustring use on the column ( in the column are Files )?

TNX for your answer

I don't think so. You have to fetch the data and apply the algorithm to it outside the database. I don't recommend it though.. Instead, you should save paths and store clustered information about the files (using IDs).
