Description Tim Lebedkov 2008-05-07 15:40:29 UTC
Please implement search for a piece of text in a whole database.
Comment 1 David Vancouvering 2008-05-07 17:07:17 UTC
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.
Comment 2 Tim Lebedkov 2008-05-07 18:09:45 UTC
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.
Comment 3 David Vancouvering 2008-05-07 21:39:19 UTC
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.
Comment 4 Tim Lebedkov 2008-05-08 10:04:34 UTC
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.
