Hello,

I need to query a table POSTS as follows:

- Find POSTS which TITLE contains Entity AND Framework.

- FIND POSTS which TITLE contains Entity OR Framework.

I have a few questions, if you don't mind:

1 - How can I create a query for this?

2 - Can I use Full Text Search?

3 - Is Full Text Search available in SQL SERVER 2008 R2 Express?

4 - Can I add Full Text Search to an existing database?

5 - When activating the Full Text Search what type of configuration do I need?

Do I need to specify for which tables and columns?
Do I need to create some indexes?

Thank You,
Miguel

For 3 see (full text search comes under programability)
http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/en/us/product-info/compare.aspx
You might not need the answer to any more of the questions after that.

for 2, 4 yes
3 no
5 depends on your system
1 have a look at contains - searching for sql server contains gives lots of examples.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
SSIS can be used in a similar way.
