CONTAINSTABLE (Transact-SQL)

Artykuł
02/13/2015

Returns a table of zero, one, or more rows for those columns containing precise or fuzzy (less precise) matches to single words and phrases, the proximity of words within a certain distance of one another, or weighted matches. CONTAINSTABLE is used in the FROM clause of a Transact-SQL SELECT statement and is referenced as if it were a regular table name. .It performs a SQL Server full-text search on full-text indexed columns containing character-based data types.

CONTAINSTABLE is useful for the same kinds of matches as the CONTAINS predicate and uses the same search conditions as CONTAINS.

Unlike CONTAINS, however, queries using CONTAINSTABLE return a relevance ranking value (RANK) and full-text key (KEY) for each row.

Arguments

table
Is the name of a table that has been full-text indexed. table can be a one-, two-, three-, or four-part database object name. When querying a view, only one full-text indexed base table can be involved.

table cannot specify a server name and cannot be used in queries against linked servers.
column_name
Is the name of one or more columns that are indexed for full-text searching. The columns can be of type char, varchar, nchar, nvarchar, text, ntext, image, xml, varbinary, or varbinary(max).
column_list
Indicates that several columns, separated by a comma, can be specified. column_list must be enclosed in parentheses. Unless language_term is specified, the language of all columns of column_list must be the same.
*
Specifies that all full-text indexed columns in table should be used to search for the given search condition. Unless language_term is specified, the language of all columns of the table must be the same.
LANGUAGE language_term
Is the language whose resources will be used for word breaking, stemming, and thesaurus and noise-word (or stopword) removal as part of the query. This parameter is optional and can be specified as a string, integer, or hexadecimal value corresponding to the locale identifier (LCID) of a language. If language_term is specified, the language it represents will be applied to all elements of the search condition. If no value is specified, the column full-text language is used.

If documents of different languages are stored together as binary large objects (BLOBs) in a single column, the locale identifier (LCID) of a given document determines what language is used to index its content. When querying such a column, specifying LANGUAGE language_term can increase the probability of a good match.

When specified as a string, language_term corresponds to the alias column value in the sys.syslanguages compatibility view. The string must be enclosed in single quotation marks, as in 'language_term'. When specified as an integer, language_term is the actual LCID that identifies the language. When specified as a hexadecimal value, language_term is 0x followed by the hexadecimal value of the LCID. The hexadecimal value must not exceed eight digits, including leading zeros.

If the value is in double-byte character set (DBCS) format, Microsoft SQL Server will convert it to Unicode.

If the language specified is not valid or there are no resources installed that correspond to that language, SQL Server returns an error. To use the neutral language resources, specify 0x0 as language_term.
top_n_by_rank
Specifies that only the n highest ranked matches, in descending order, are returned. Applies only when an integer value, n, is specified. If top_n_by_rank is combined with other parameters, the query could return fewer rows than the number of rows that actually match all the predicates. top_n_by_rank allows you to increase query performance by recalling only the most relevant hits.
<contains_search_condition>
Specifies the text to search for in column_name and the conditions for a match. For information about search conditions, see CONTAINS (Transact-SQL).

Uwagi

Full-text predicates and functions work on a single table, which is implied in the FROM predicate. To search on multiple tables, use a joined table in your FROM clause to search on a result set that is the product of two or more tables.

The table returned has a column named KEY that contains full-text key values. Each full-text indexed table has a column whose values are guaranteed to be unique, and the values returned in the KEY column are the full-text key values of the rows that match the selection criteria specified in the contains search condition. The TableFulltextKeyColumn property, obtained from the OBJECTPROPERTYEX function, provides the identity of this unique key column. To obtain the ID of the column associated with the full-text key of the full-text index, use sys.fulltext_indexes. For more information, see sys.fulltext_indexes (Transact-SQL).

To obtain the rows you want from the original table, specify a join with the CONTAINSTABLE rows. The typical form of the FROM clause for a SELECT statement using CONTAINSTABLE is:

SELECT select_list
FROM table AS FT_TBL INNER JOIN
   CONTAINSTABLE(table, column, contains_search_condition) AS KEY_TBL
   ON FT_TBL.unique_key_column = KEY_TBL.[KEY]

The table produced by CONTAINSTABLE includes a column named RANK. The RANK column is a value (from 0 through 1000) for each row indicating how well a row matched the selection criteria. This rank value is typically used in one of these ways in the SELECT statement:

In the ORDER BY clause to return the highest-ranking rows as the first rows in the table.
In the select list to see the rank value assigned to each row.

Permissions

Execute permissions are available only by users with the appropriate SELECT privileges on the table or the referenced table's columns.

Examples

A. Returning rank values

The following example searches for all product names containing the words "frame," "wheel," or "tire," and different weights are given to each word. For each returned row matching these search criteria, the relative closeness (ranking value) of the match is shown. In addition, the highest ranking rows are returned first.

USE AdventureWorks2012
GO

SELECT FT_TBL.Name, KEY_TBL.RANK
    FROM Production.Product AS FT_TBL 
        INNER JOIN CONTAINSTABLE(Production.Product, Name, 
        'ISABOUT (frame WEIGHT (.8), 
        wheel WEIGHT (.4), tire WEIGHT (.2) )' ) AS KEY_TBL
            ON FT_TBL.ProductID = KEY_TBL.[KEY]
ORDER BY KEY_TBL.RANK DESC
GO

B. Returning rank values greater than a specified value

The following example uses NEAR to search for "bracket" and "reflector" close to each other in the Production.Document column of the AdventureWorks2008 database. Only rows with a rank value of 50 or higher are returned.

USE AdventureWorks2012
GO

SELECT DocumentNode, Title, DocumentSummary
FROM Production.Document AS DocTable 
INNER JOIN CONTAINSTABLE(Production.Document, Document,
  'NEAR(bracket, reflector)' ) AS KEY_TBL
  ON DocTable.DocumentNode = KEY_TBL.[KEY]
WHERE KEY_TBL.RANK > 50
ORDER BY KEY_TBL.RANK DESC
GO

[!UWAGA]

If a full-text query does not specify an integer as the maximum distance, a document that contains only hits whose gap is greater than 100 logical terms will not meet the NEAR requirements, and its ranking will be 0.

C. Returning top 5 ranked results using top_n_by_rank

The following example returns the description of the top 5 products where the Description column contains the word "aluminum" near either the word "light" or the word "lightweight".

USE AdventureWorks2012
GO

SELECT FT_TBL.ProductDescriptionID,
   FT_TBL.Description, 
   KEY_TBL.RANK
FROM Production.ProductDescription AS FT_TBL INNER JOIN
   CONTAINSTABLE (Production.ProductDescription,
      Description, 
      '(light NEAR aluminum) OR
      (lightweight NEAR aluminum)',
      5
   ) AS KEY_TBL
   ON FT_TBL.ProductDescriptionID = KEY_TBL.[KEY]
GO

D. Specifying the LANGUAGE argument

The following example shows using the LANGUAGE argument.

USE AdventureWorks2012
GO

SELECT FT_TBL.ProductDescriptionID,
   FT_TBL.Description, 
   KEY_TBL.RANK
FROM Production.ProductDescription AS FT_TBL INNER JOIN
   CONTAINSTABLE (Production.ProductDescription,
      Description, 
      '(light NEAR aluminum) OR
      (lightweight NEAR aluminum)',
      LANGUAGE N'English',
      5
   ) AS KEY_TBL
   ON FT_TBL.ProductDescriptionID = KEY_TBL.[KEY]
GO

[!UWAGA]

The LANGUAGE language_term argumentis not required for using top_n_by_rank.
