| Hello all,I'm wanting to do a CONTAINS query on fields that belong to two seperate tables. So, for example, this is what I'd *like* to do :SELECT ci.itemNameFROM Content_Items ciINNER JOIN Content_Pages AS cp ON ci.contentItemId = cp.contentItemIdINNER JOIN FREETEXTTABLE(Content_Items, (ci.title, cp.pageText), @searchString) AS ft ON ci.contentItemId = ft.[KEY]However, this will not work, since SQL Server won't let you do fulltext queries against more then one table.So my idea is to create a view that combines my Content_Items table with the desired column from my Content_Pages table. I would then create a fulltext index on this view, and do fulltext queries against it.It seems like this should work. However, when I try to create a fulltext index on my newly-created view, I get this error :A unique column must be defined on this table/view.How do I create a unique column within a view?Also, will my approach work, or will it have unintended consequences? I'm using this as part of a search component in my software, so it has to perform reasonably well. |

| You need create unique index on the view first. |
