Hi,

i moved my database to a new server, and the full-text catalog seems be messed up. I tried to remove it from the table and it said to use sp_fulltext_catalog to fix the issue.

I ran the query:
use master
select * from sysfulltextcatalogs

and i got back 0 results.

What options do I have?

Well, assuming you have the script to recreate the full-text catalog (you do have that, don't you?), you could run sp_fulltext_database 'disable' followed by sp_fulltext_database 'enable'. That will reset the entire system. Theoretically, you should be able to rebuild then.

Hi,
I don't have a script, i just use EM and then set a schedule.

Ok I ran the query, and when I tried to drop full-text index it says

"Error 7605: full-text catalog 'catalog_XXX' has been lost. Use sp_fulltext_catalog to rebuilt and to repopulate this full-text catalog"

it seems there is a reference to the full-text in the database, but my Master has no idea about it?

That's correct. We had this same error one time when I moved our databases to a new server. If you ran both those commands though, you should be able to recreate the index. Try it and let me know how it goes. I wish I would have written down the exact steps I took. Oh well, such is life.

Hi,

Actually I did run both of the queries you gave me, i ran the 1st one. then pasted the 2nd one into QA and ran it.

And, have you rebuilt the full-text catalog? Will it let you rebuild it now?

it doesn't seem to do anything. When I set a schedulate it complains with the same error.

Maybe I should create another table, then delete the old one. then rename the other table back to the original and create an index from scratch?
