I want to try out the full text search functions. Using Adventureworks, I created a full text catalogue called ftsDefaultCatalog. That worked ok.

However, when I try to create a full text index on the Production.ProductReview table using this code:

CREATE FULLTEXT INDEX ON production.ProductReview (Comments)
KEY INDEX [ProductReviewID]
ON ftsDefaultCatalog

I get this error message:
Msg 7653, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
'ProductReviewID' is not a valid index to enforce a full-text search key. A full-text search key must be a unique, non-nullable, single-column index which is not offline, is not defined on a non-deterministic or imprecise nonpersisted computed column, does not have a filter, and has maximum size of 900 bytes. Choose another index for the full-text key.

When I look at the column defintion, ProductReviewID is a PK. I'm not sure why SQL is giving me this error message.

is ProductReviewID an identity column?

No. It's not an identity column. However, the fact that it is a PK means that it is unique and non-nullable and that is what is required by the CREATE INDEX operation.

KEY INDEX must be the index name - not the column name.
