sp_help_fulltext_columns (Transact-SQL)

SQL Server 2005

Returns the columns designated for full-text indexing.

Important:
This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature. Use the new sys.fulltext_index_columns catalog view instead. For more information, see sys.fulltext_index_columns (Transact-SQL).


sp_help_fulltext_columns [ [ @table_name = ] 'table_name' ] ] 
     [ , [ @column_name = ] 'column_name' ]

[ @table_name =] 'table_name': Is the one- or two-part table name for which full-text index information is requested. table_name is nvarchar(517), with a default value of NULL. If table_name is omitted, full-text index column information is retrieved for every full-text indexed table.

[ @column_name =] 'column_name': Is the name of the column for which full-text index metadata is requested. column_name is sysname, with a default value of NULL. If column_name is omitted or is NULL, full-text column information is returned for every full-text indexed column for table_name. If table_name is also omitted or is NULL, full-text index column information is returned for every full-text indexed column for all tables in the database.
