Applies to: SQL Server

Registers a pre-populated Semantic Language Statistics database in the current instance of SQL Server.

You can initiate semantic extraction only after you have attached this language statistics database and registered it by using this stored procedure. You only need to perform this task once for each instance of SQL Server.

Transact-SQL syntax conventions

Syntax

sp_fulltext_semantic_register_language_statistics_db [ @dbname = ] N'dbname'
[ ; ]

Arguments

[ @dbname = ] N'dbname'

The name of the Semantic Language Statistics database to be registered for the current instance of SQL Server. The database must already be attached. @dbname is sysname, and can't be NULL.

Remarks

The Semantic Language Statistics database contains language-related statistics that are required for semantic processing of textual content.

sp_fulltext_semantic_register_language_statistics_db performs the following steps:

  1. Checks that the instance of SQL Server is a version that supports semantic processing.

  2. Checks that the instance of SQL Server doesn't already have a Semantic Language Statistics database defined.

  3. Checks that the database is a valid Semantic Language Statistics database.

  4. Sets permissions on the Semantic Language Statistics database to restrict access to the database by users.

  5. Inserts the metadata that defines the name of the Semantic Language Statistics database for the instance of SQL Server.

  6. Inserts the metadata that defines the mappings between the installed Semantic Language Statistics database and the internal Language Model tables.

  7. Checks to ensure that the database is ready to be used.
