I am doing an exercise in Microsoft 70-461 certification book (written by Itzik Ben-Gan) In chapter 6-Query Full text data. I run the following query to create a stopword list. The system showed me an error message.

Msg 9966, Level 16, State 106, Line 135 Cannot use full-text search in master, tempdb, or model database.

Here is the query I am trying to run

use master;
 create fulltext stoplist SQLStopList;
 GO
 alter FULLTEXT STOPLIST SQLStopList
 ADD 'SQL' LANGUAGE 'English';

Please give me some advises on what caused the error and how to fix it

Is there a log I can check to see what might went wrong. You advise is greatly appreciated.

  • Dear forum mediators, as a beginner to SQL server, I have learned that I can't use master database to conduct full-text search. I should use the test database instead. This question might be a good reference for the beginners who want to learn about full-text search using SQL server 2012.

You're using master. Like the error message says, you can't do that in master. Try using the TSQL2012 database.

    Hello Katherine thanks for the reply. I used the database TSQL2012 to create the SQLStopList. It worked. I didn't receive any error message.

"...Cannot use full-text search in master, tempdb, or model database."

You just can't use the master, tempdb or model database for full-text search.
