Parts

object

Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list

Type

Long integer that specifies a SQLDMO_FULLTEXT_POPULATE_
TYPE constant as described in Settings.

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT FullTextPopulation(SQLDMO_FULLTEXT_POPULATE_TYPE NewType);

Settings

Set Type using these values.

Constant Value Description
SQLDMOFullText_PopuFull 0 Perform a full population of the of the table index to the full-text catalog.
SQLDMOFullText_PopuInc 1 Perform an incremental population of the table index to the full-text catalog.
SQLDMOFullText_PopuStop 2 Stop full or incremental population of the table index to the full-text catalog.

Remarks

Setting the Type parameter to SQLDMOFullText_PopuFull results in a complete rebuild of the index. Setting Type to SQLDMOFullText_PopuInc causes FullTextPopulation to rescan the rows changed since the last full rebuild. The table must have a timestamp column to support the SQLDMOFullText_PopuInc setting.

Use the FullTextPopulateStatus property to determine the current status of the full-text table population process.

Note  Prior to setting FullTextTracking, you must add the catalog to the FullTextCatalogsCollection, and set IsFullTextEnabled to TRUE for the database.

Note  If an application calls FullTextPopulation on an instance of SQL Server version 7.0, the constant, SQLDMO_E_SQL80ONLY, and the message "This property or method requires Microsoft SQL Server 2000" are returned.
