How big is the table? It shouldn't take long at all to build the indexes.

Which is a slight derivation on yours. Teddy R.

In my example i could have removed the double quotes and gotten the same results etc. The syntax appears to be A-OK because i get no errors. I'm just not getting why i can't search on MULTIPLE columns with MULTIPLE values which are in a fulltext index.. ___________________ Eric Jones aka jonese http://www.jonese.us http://twitter.com/jonese On Fri, Jan 23, 2009 at 3:36 PM, Teddy R.

(authorForeName, N'"B"') The N there I believe is a reference for nVarchar if you are allowing i10n compatibility. The syntax looks wonky as I thought it was only a single quote like N'B' Then you can wrap it up in double quotes like "N'B'" So I suspect you quotes are out of order. Double quote then the N then the single quote then the literal string then single quote then double quote. Savvy? Teddy R.

Why doesn't the first query work as expected?___________________ Eric Jones aka jonese http://www.jonese.us http://twitter.com/jonese ------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @ http://www.acfug.org?fa=login.edituserform For more info, see http://www.acfug.org/mailinglists Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40acfug.org/ List hosted by http://www.fusionlink.com -------------------------------------------------------------
