Symptoms
In Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 2 (SP2) and SQL Server 2014 SP1, a new Dynamic Management Function (DMF) sys.dm_fts_index_keywords_position_by_document is introduced to expose the keyword positional information in the indexed documents. The new DMF specification is provided as follows:
Select * from sys.dm_fts_index_keywords_position_by_document
(
DB_ID('database_name'), OBJECT_ID('table_name')
)
Note You can add a predicate on the document_id as in the following example query, and SQL Server will execute the query in an efficient way.
Select * from sys.dm_fts_index_keywords_position_by_document
(
DB_ID('database_name'), OBJECT_ID('table_name')
)
where document_id = 'id'
The DMF outputs the indexed keywords for the particular document together with the position information. The returned table resembles the following:
| Column | Data Type | Definition |
|---|---|---|
| keyword | varbinary(128) | indexed keyword |
| display_term | nvarchar(8000) | internal fulltext representation |
| column_id | Int | column id |
| document_id | Bigint | document id |
| position | Bigint | positional information |
