EnableFullTextCatalogs Method (SQL-DMO)

The EnableFullTextCatalogs method enables Microsoft Search full-text indexing on the referenced Microsoft® SQL Server™ database.

Applies To

Database Object

Syntax

object.EnableFullTextCatalogs()

Part Description
object Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list

Returns

None.

Remarks

To enable full-text search on a SQL Server database for participation, enable the database by using the EnableFullTextCatalogs method, then configure columns for full-text indexing and search by using the FullTextCatalog object to define full-text catalogs.

A database is either enabled or disabled for full-text indexing and searching. When disabled, full-text index population is not performed for full-text catalogs defined on the database and full-text search in the database fails. A database may be disabled, then reenabled without affecting full-text catalog definition.

Enabling a database for full-text indexing and search by using the EnableFullTextCatalogs method does not alter full-text catalog contents. When enabling a database previously disabled, use the Rebuild method of the FullTextCatalog object to repopulate existing full-text catalogs.

Prototype (C/C++)
