Go Up to Microsoft SQL Server Object Wizards

This wizard builds and submits a CREATE FULLTEXT CATALOG statement. This lets you add a full-text catalog to a database, specifying accent sensitivity and an owner, and letting you define the catalog as the default full-text catalog. You can also provide filegroup and root directory details.

Along with full-text indexes, full-text catalogs facilitate full-text searching. For related information, see Full-text Indexes Wizard (SQL Server).

Note: Full-text catalogs cannot be created in the master catalog.
Note: Before working with full-text catalogs, consult Microsoft SQL Server documentation for general information on full-text searching and detailed information on topics such as restrictions on where these objects can be created, required permissions, virtual object and filegroup considerations, and the relationship with full-text indexes and the default collation. For more information, see Accessing Third Party Documentation.

To create a new full-text catalog using a wizard:

  1. Open a creation wizard for afull-text catalog. For details, see Opening an Object Wizard.
  2. Use the following topics as a guide to setting properties and performing tasks as you pass through the wizard panels:
  3. Finally, use the Execute button to create the object.

Full-text Catalogs (SQL Server) - Properties

When creating or editing a full-text catalog, this tab/panel lets you work with the following settings:

Setting Description

Name

Provide a name for the catalog.

Filegroup

Selecting a filegroup adds an explicit ON FILEGROUP clause, specifying the selected filegroup to which the catalog will belong. If not specified, the new catalog will be part of the default filegroup used for all full-text catalogs.

Path

Specifying a path adds an explicit IN PATH clause, specifying the root directory for the catalog. If no path is specified, the new catalog will be located in the default directory specified during setup.

Accent Sensitive

Lets you specify a WITH ACCENT_SENSITIVITY = ON/OFF clause, reflecting the selected/deselected status of the check box.

Default

Select this check box to add an AS DEFAULT argument, specifying that this catalog is the default full-text catalog. If an existing full-text catalog is currently specified as the default, this catalog becomes the new default.

Authorization Owner

Select a user or role to add an AUTHORIZATION argument that sets the owner of the full-text catalog.
