add words to FTS dictionary

we are medical company I need to a some words to the dictionary that SQL
containstable uses how can I do it? These are not noise words example the 2
letters SP is a word we use over and over also HiCNR

cindyYou don't add words to the SQL FTS "dictionary". You might want to replace
your noise word list with an empty space and then rebuild your catalog. SQL
FTS builds its own "dictionary" based on your content.

> cindy|||for example SP or HiCNR are words in this industry. We have customized sql
to do a boolean search with containstable in stored procedure. A search for
"SP" and "HiCNR" returns correctly matching words in document content. Thes
e
documents are actually rows in a table where Sharepoint stores the content o
f
its document libraries. So will "Magnet" and "heat" for example return as
expected. The problem is with the use of AND NOT. For example "Magnet" and
not "heat" will not bring back content with magnet and without heat whereas
"Magnet" and not "SP" seems to have no effect in eliminating the "SP" word.
I am thinking if I could use a "custom" dictionary have SQL see "SP" as a
word. But then maybe I am not understand the technology. When FTS does a
return is it doing like a split string or REGEX word matching, just saying o
k
here is a word as defined by the word breaker ie there is a space on either
side of "SP" and it is not in the noise word list?

>|||Hello Cindy,
Based on my scope, SP shall be the same as other word and there is no
internal dictionary and it is built from word breaker.
I was not able to reproduce the issue. The following is the statements
===================================
create table documentTable(ftkey int not null, document ntext)
create unique index DTftkey_idx on documentTable(ftKey)
exec sp_fulltext_column 'documentTable', 'document', 'add'
exec sp_fulltext_table 'documentTable', 'start_change_tracking'
exec sp_fulltext_table 'documentTable', 'start_background_updateindex'
exec sp_fulltext_catalog 'myfulltext','start_full'
insert documenttable values (10, 'words letters SP Magnet')
insert documenttable values (11, 'HiCNR Magnet')
SELECT * FROM documenttable WHERE CONTAINS(document, 'Magnet AND NOT SP')
SELECT * FROM documenttable WHERE CONTAINS(document, 'Magnet')
====================================
I got only 1 record for the first select query.

Add Keywords to Query Analyzers Syntax

Does anyone know of a way to add *key words* to Query Analyzer's syntax
highlighting feature? I would think that there would be a text/xml file
that could be modified. This certainly can't be hard coded.

Thanks,
BryanI think you are going to be disappointed then. I know of no way to add
keywords in the way you want.

There is no way to change the list of highlighted words. I would actually
guess that the list is hardcoded. After all, QA is to designed against a
certain version of SQL Server, so new keywords are not likely to appear
out of the blue. :-)

It seems that the keywords are contained in the file
"../tools/binn/sqllex.dll" -- part of which appears in plain-text. For fun,
I tried the following command from a Linux prompt (after backing up the
file):

sed 's/CHECKALLOC/RICHDILLON/' sqllex.dll > new.dll

... and then renamed the new file. Sure enough, QA stopped highlighing
"CHECKALLOC" in blue. Sadly, it wouldn't highlight my name, though. :-(
There must be something important about the rest of the gobbledygook in that
file ;-)

It's actually hardcoded, and found this out the hardway when a dll was no longer registered.
the syntax highlighting functionality is done by a dll named sqllex.dll that is typically found in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn directory;
if you unregister the dll, you'll lose the syntax highlighting completely; re-registering it restores the functionality, which i discovered when uninstalling/reinstalling after a beta of SQL 2005.
because the list of keywords is in the DLL, and not in a file the DLL uses, there's no way to ADD keywords unless you could replace that dll with your own enhanced verison.
HTH.
