I was given a task to write very specific queries from a microsoft sql server database that has over 250 tables and over 250 views. I am using sql server management studios and I am trying to figure out where a field location might exist in a table.
Are there ways to do a quick search of every table or the entire database for certain keywords to help narrow down my searches?
Or must I open every single table/view and try to see every single column in order to solve this issue?
Any help or advice with this would be greatly appreciated.
Try SQL Search from Redgate. Very powerful tool, you can download it for free:

My query is related to how to build a module to take the string in a column in an SQL Server table, search on Google and scan search results for keywords and if the keywords are found put them into another column in the same table.
My initial idea was to use an R - SQL Server hybrid solution. But your guidance on any other possible tools would be great. I know it is an open ended question but I am looking more for guidance than a solution right now.
So basic steps I could gather...
Get strings in the column from SQL Server into R
Use RCurl to perform search of terms in R imported data.
Search for keywords I am looking for in the Google search results.
If results are what I am looking for, set a flag in SQL Server, else skip.
The following query is written using SQL Server 2014 CONTAINS function.
SELECT
Org1.OrganizationPK
,*
FROM Organization Org1
WHERE Org1.Deleted = 0
AND CONTAINS (Org1.NAME,'"chris6*"')
AND org1.OrgDomainInd = 1
But, the above query is NOT working.
I have followed this article to understand more about CONTAINS function. I have verified those examples as-they-are. Even here also, I am not getting any results.
I have verified this post from stackoverflow, but I could not apply for my requirement.
Hence, I am getting doubt whether I need to do anything more to configure SQL Server 2014 to work with CONTAINS fuction? Please let me know if there is anything I need to do to make SQL Server 2014 ready to use CONTAINS function.
If there is nothing like that, please suggest me the solution.
Please don't suggest me to use LIKE operator. I am telling this why because, most of my colleagues suggested me same; hence, as a precautionary matter I am writing this statement here.
I am running behind my schedule to complete this task.
Before CONTAINS will work against a column you need setup full text index. This is actually a different engine which runs as a separate service in SQL Server, so make sure it is installed an running.
Once you're sure the component is installed (it may already be installed) You need to do the following:
Create a Full-Text Catalogue
Create a Full-Text Index (you can have multiple of these in the same catalogue) against the tables/columns you want to be able to use full-text keywords
Run a Population which will crawl the index created & populate the catalogue (these are seperate files which SQL Server needs to maintain in addition to mdf/ldf )
There's an ok tutorial on how to do this by using SSMS in SQL Server 2008 by Pinal Dave on CodeProject. SQL Server 2014 should be very similar.
You can also perform these steps with TSQL:
CREATE FULLTEXT CATALOG
CREATE FULLTEXT INDEX
ALTER FULLTEXT INDEX
I believe that contains functionality can only be used in tables configured to use/support Full Text Search -- an elderly feature of SQL Server that I have little experience with. If you are not using Full Text Search, I'm pretty sure contains will not work.
I am breaking my head over this issue for hours and cant find the solution. I have three work environments and we use SQL Server 2012. Problem is FTS is not working.
I have pulled the properties for FTS for same table, and only difference is in the "Full Text Index FileGroup".
Let's say that FTS catalog is named hello. The environment where it works has "Full Text Index FileGroup" property set exactly like: ftfg_hello, while the one that does not work has it set like: PRIMARY.
When I say it does not work, I mean I get the results, but it takes forever to get them.
I wonder does that property is a problem? Should I look for something else?
BTW: Environment that does not work is set on Amazon Instance RDS.
Thank you for your time
How to enable and perform a "full text" search on a table in SQL Server 2005?
I did not quite understand the solution in: How do I use full text search across multiple tables, SQL Server 2005
How hard is it to incorporate full text search with SQL Server?
I think that this video tutorial, should get you a good part of the way there.
you have to setup the index before you can search against it.
You can also have a look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms142583.aspx
