  mysql guru's,

  Having some issue with full text searching, both statements are listed below. I need to compare two columns on separate tables. At the moment I can only compare one column at a time, when i enter statement #2 I get a mysql error. Both "tags" column are full text enabled. Can I not compare two tables using full text? Help!

  Statement #1 - Working Statement:

  SELECT * FROM blog_post, article WHERE blog_post.id = '8' AND MATCH(article.tags) AGAINST ('relationships')

  Statement #2 - invalid statement

  SELECT * FROM blog_post, article WHERE blog_post.id = '8' AND MATCH(blog_post.tags,article.tag… AGAINST ('work')

  Error: #1210 - Incorrect arguments to MATCH

  Use a sub-query? Where are your NOLOCK statements and explicit JOINS?

  This is an outrage!

  To hell with JOINS man!

  But i do think an INNER JOIN would be satisfying.

  seems like a join would work here

  I don't think I'm grasping what you are doing, but can you use an OR Statement and simply search both individually?

  (
  ( MATCH(article.tags) AGAINST ('relationships') )
  OR
  ( MATCH(blog_post.tags) AGAINST ('relationships') )
  )

  acescence can you show me a quick example on that?

  blog_post.tags and article.tags are the columns that need to be compared.

  SELECT * FROM blog_post, article WHERE blog_post.id = '8' AND MATCH(blog_post.tags,article.tag…
  AGAINST ('work')

  SELECT
  blog_post.*,
  article.*
  FROM
  blog_post WITH(NOLOCK)
  INNER JOIN article WITH(NOLOCK)
  ON blog_post.tags = articles.tags
  WHERE
  blog_post.id = 8
  AND
  MATCH(blog_post.tags, article.tags) AGAINST ('work')

  Is tags a Unique ID, because if there really isn't any correlation to these tables in conjunction with that field you will have to run two seperate queries I imagine using a UNION and/or find a way to match them up.

  • Der, my tabs didn't show up, haha.– flavorful1/4

    FAIL!
    #1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'WITH ( NOLOCK ) INNER JOIN article WITH ( NOLOCK ) ON blog_post.tags = article' at line 1– cosmoo2/4

    Well it's not my fail, I explained why it won't work if there is no link field present in both tables.– flavorful3/4

    hehe...i know.– cosmoo4/4

  no correlation at all. basically each blog post has tags and i am trying to match those with tags on articles. i might just have to run two queries.

  Uh yes you're going to need multiple queries.

  And I don't think you can make fun of using sub-queries or LIKE statements if you're pulling information from tables the way you are, haha.

  oh, i think i misunderstand how your tables are structured.

  seems to make more sense to have a global tags table, where each row is a unique tag, then posts and articles tables, then two tables that basically map a post or article id to a tag id.

  but maybe too late to go restructuring your whole db, ha.

  • < Yes. You needs a link table if you want the potential to share tags.– flavorful1/7

    01. tag
    02. blog_post_Tag_Link
    03. articles_Tag_Link– flavorful2/7

    Where tag would hold all the unique tags available, and the link tables would be the match up for each table.– flavorful3/7

    That can have tags.– flavorful4/7

    thanks guys!– cosmoo5/7

    No problemo homie! :D I've never used tags myself, but I've thought about them before in potential diagrams. No working example to share though.– flavorful6/7

    example to share though. Good luck!– flavorful7/7
