Methods

Remarks

Microsoft Search enables full-text queries on data maintained by Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2000. The service builds both the indexes providing full-text query capability and participates in query resolution by providing result data during a full-text query. Index data is maintained within a full-text catalog. A FullTextCatalog exposes the properties of a Microsoft Search full-text catalog.

With the FullTextCatalog object, you can:

• Define a new Microsoft Search full-text catalog.
  
  
• Rebuild the Microsoft Search full-text catalog.
  
  
• Control index population.
  
  
• Remove a Microsoft Search full-text catalog.

The Name property of a FullTextCatalog object uses the SQL Server data type sysname. The value of the Name property must be unique within a SQL Server database.

By default, a user must have database owner permissions to create, remove, or modify Microsoft Search full-text catalogs.

Note  The FullTextCatalog object is compatible with instances of SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server version 7.0. However, the FullTextCatalog2 object extends the functionality of the FullTextCatalog object for use with features that are new in SQL Server 2000.
