sp_help_fulltext_columns_cursor (Transact-SQL)

Uses a cursor to return 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).

Syntax

sp_help_fulltext_columns_cursor [ @cursor_return = ] @cursor_variable OUTPUT 
     [ , [ @table_name = ] 'table_name' ] 
     [ , [ @column_name = ] 'column_name' ]

Arguments

  • [ @cursor_return =] @cursor_variable OUTPUT
    Is the output variable of type cursor. The resulting cursor is a read-only, scrollable, dynamic cursor.
  • [ @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 desired. 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.
