combining many contains()

Hi all,
I have a nvarchar(255) column on a tblKeyword table with many queries in a
verified FTS form. i.e-
"Microsoft Corporation"
("Hewelet Packard") OR HP
Google OR Froogle
Sun
I want to issue a combined FTS query that will gather all (*) information
from the indexed table, based on all existing queries in the tblKeyword
table.
Ie, something like:
SELECT * FROM myftstable
WHERE CONTAINS(*,[("Microsoft Corporation") OR (("Hewelet Packard") OR HP)
OR (Google OR Froogle) OR (Sun)])
Is it possible to do it dynamiclly in some sort? other then connecting all
strings and sending them all to the contains?
Thanks!
Guy,
Yes, there is a way to do this via a stored proc:
use pubs
go
-- DROP PROCEDURE usp_FTSearchPubsInfo
CREATE PROCEDURE usp_FTSearchPubsInfo ( @.vcSearchText varchar(7800))
AS
declare @.s as varchar (8000)
set @.s='select pub_id, pr_info from pub_info where
contains(pr_info,'+''''+@.vcSearchText+''''+')'
exec (@.s)
go
-- returns 2 rows
EXEC usp_FTSearchPubsInfo '("books" and "publisher")'
go
-- Using your example:
EXEC usp_FTSearchPubsInfo '("Microsoft Corporation" or ("Hewelet Packard" or
"HP") or ("Google" or "Froogle") or ("Sun"))'

John

I meant how to do it programatically, so that the queries exists in
tblKeyword will be populated automatically as a long (@.vcSearchText varchar)

I'm not sure what you're asking for here... Could you provide some examples?
Are you looking for a client-side (IE-based) solution or a server-side
(T-SQL based) solution? If the former, you may want to checkout KB article

|||John hi,
I need a server-side solution (T-SQL based) for connecting all of the
records appear in tblKeyword into 1 long string. Is it possible?

|||Hi Guy,
Ok. I looked back over your original posting and I didn't realize that you
had two tables - tblKeyword and myftstable - and that in affect you wanted
to "pass" the tblKeyword table values to CONTAINS search_condition clause.
I'm sure there are other ways of doing this, but for now, I've developed two
cursor based solutions - assuming I'm understanding your question properly:
The below examples use the database (pubs) and the FT-enabled table
(authors) and the table (keyword) is your tblKeyword table:
use pubs
go
create table keyword(kword varchar(50))
go
insert into keyword values ('white')
insert into keyword values ('("john" or "paul")')
insert into keyword values ('Yokomoto')
go
select * from keyword
go
-- Simple Cursor Fetch with a CONTAINS statement...
SET NOCOUNT ON
DECLARE keyword_cursor CURSOR FAST_FORWARD
FOR
select kword from keyword
OPEN keyword_cursor
DECLARE @.keyword varchar(50)
FETCH NEXT FROM keyword_cursor INTO @.keyword
WHILE (@.@.fetch_status <> -1)
BEGIN
select * from authors where contains(*,@.keyword)
FETCH NEXT FROM keyword_cursor INTO @.keyword
END
CLOSE keyword_cursor
DEALLOCATE keyword_cursor
SET NOCOUNT OFF
GO
-- Complex Cursor Fetch into a temp table and then select from it...
set nocount on
DECLARE keyword_cursor CURSOR FAST_FORWARD
FOR
select kword from keyword
CREATE TABLE #authors_PK (author_pk char(11))
OPEN keyword_cursor
DECLARE @.keyword varchar(50), @.author_pks char(11), @.sql nvarchar(600)
-- Fetch the first row in the cursor.
FETCH NEXT FROM keyword_cursor INTO @.keyword
WHILE @.@.FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
select @.sql = 'insert into #authors_PK (author_pk) select au_id from
authors where contains(*, ''' + @.keyword + ''')'
exec(@.sql)
FETCH NEXT FROM keyword_cursor INTO @.keyword
END
CLOSE keyword_cursor
DEALLOCATE keyword_cursor
select * from #authors_PK
drop table #authors_PK
go
-- Clean-up
drop table keyword
go
Let me know if this is what you're looking for.

John
