Transact-SQL syntax conventions

Syntax

syntaxsql 
sp_help_fulltext_tables
    [ [ @fulltext_catalog_name = ] N'fulltext_catalog_name' ]
    [ , [ @table_name = ] N'table_name' ]
[ ; ]

Arguments

[ @fulltext_catalog_name = ] N'fulltext_catalog_name'

The name of the full-text catalog. @fulltext_catalog_name is sysname, with a default of NULL.

  • If @fulltext_catalog_name is omitted or is NULL, all full-text indexed tables associated with the database are returned.

  • If @fulltext_catalog_name is specified, but @table_name is omitted or is NULL, the full-text index information is retrieved for every full-text indexed table associated with this catalog.

  • If both @fulltext_catalog_name and @table_name are specified, a row is returned if @table_name is associated with @fulltext_catalog_name; otherwise, an error is raised.

[ @table_name = ] N'table_name'

The one-part or two-part table name for which the full-text metadata is requested. @table_name is nvarchar(517), with a default of NULL. If only @table_name is specified, only the row relevant to @table_name is returned.

Return code values

0 (success) or 1 (failure).
