What you are asking for is text search integrated into a database - a very laudable goal, but far out of the scope of what we do in database tooling. Sorry. I don't ask for more than foreach(table in the db) foreach(text column in the table) select * from table where text like substring It shouldn't be as fast as with a search engine like Lucene. Oh, I get it now. Basically a "find me this" feature if you're trying to figure out where something is. Similar to searching through all your source files for all instances of a string. It could be *very* slow, but perhaps for smaller data sets it's manageable. Let me think about it... Thanks for being persistent about this, sometimes it takes a while for me to get it. A simple use case for this: You have an app and a piece of text in it but don't know where it comes from. Reassigned to new owner. |
