What is the best way to rank a sql varchar column by the number (count)/match of words in a parameter, with four distinct unique criteria. This is likely not a trivial question but I am challenged to order the rows based on "best match" using my criteria.
column: description varchar(100) Parameter: @MyParameter varchar(100)
Output with this order preference:
Words might NOT match exactly, as partial matches of a word are allowed and likely, lessor value should be applied to partial words for ranking but not critical (pot would match each in: pot, potter, potholder, depot, depotting for instance). Begins with with other word matches should rank higher than those with no subsequent matches but that is not a deal killer/super important.
I would like to have a method to rank where the column "begins with" the value in the parameter. Say I have the following string:
'This is my value string as a test template to rank on.'
I would like to have, in the first case a rank of the column/row where the greatest count of words exist.
And the second to rank based on occurance (best match) at the begining as:
'This is my string as a test template to rank on.' - first
'This is my string as a test template to rank on even though not exact.'-second
'This is my string as a test template to rank' - third
'This is my string as a test template to' - next
'This is my string as a test template' - next etc.
Secondly:(possibly second set/group of data after the first (begins with) - this is desired
I want to rank (sort) the rows by the count of words in the @MyParameter that occur in @MyParameter with a rank where contiguous words rank higher than the same count separate.
Thus for the example string above, 'is my string as shown' would rank higher than 'is not my other string as' due the the "better match" of the contiguous string (words together) with the same count of words. Rows with a higher match (count of words that occur) would rank descending best match first.
If possible, I would like to do this in a single query.
No row should occur twice in the result.
For performance considerations, there will occur no more than 10,000 rows in the table.
The values in the table are fairly static with little change but not totally so.
I cannot change the structure at this time but would consider that later (like a word/phrase table)
To make this slightly more complicated, the word list is in two tables - but I could create a view for that, but one table results (smaller list) should occur prior to a second, larger data set results given the same match - there will be duplicates from these tables as well as within a table and I only want distinct values. Select DISTINCT is not easy as I want to return one column (sourceTable) which could quite possibly make the rows distinct and in that case only select from the first (smaller) table, but all the other columns DISTINCT is desired (do not consider that column in the "distinct" evaluation.
Psuedo Columns in table:
procedureCode VARCHAR(50),
description VARCHAR(100), -- this is the sort/evaluation column
category VARCHAR(50),
relvu VARCHAR(50),
charge VARCHAR(15),
active bit
sourceTable VARCHAR(50) - just shows which table it comes from of the two
NO unique index exists like an ID column
Matches NOT in a third table to be excluded SELECT * FROM (select * from tableone where procedureCode not in (select procedureCode from tablethree))
UNION ALL
(select * from tabletwo where procedureCode not in (select procedureCode from tablethree))
EDIT: in an attempt to address this I have created a table value paramter like so:
0 Gastric Intubation & Aspiration/Lavage, Treatmen
1 Gastric%Intubation%Aspiration%Lavage%Treatmen
2 Gastric%Intubation%Aspiration%Lavage
3 Gastric%Intubation%Aspiration
4 Gastric%Intubation
5 Gastric
6 Intubation%Aspiration%Lavage%Treatmen
7 Intubation%Aspiration%Lavage
8 Intubation%Aspiration
9 Intubation
10 Aspiration%Lavage%Treatmen
11 Aspiration%Lavage
12 Aspiration
13 Lavage%Treatmen
14 Lavage
15 Treatmen
where the actual phrase is in row 0

However, this does NOT meet the criteria of best match on the count of words (as in the row 1 value in the sample) which should match the best (most) words found count from that row.
I have complete control over the form/format of the table value parameter if that makes a difference.
I am returning this result to a c# program if that is useful.

You need to be able to split strings to solve this problem. I prefer the number table approach to split a string in TSQL
For my code below to work (as well as my split function), you need to do this one time table setup:
SELECT TOP 10000 IDENTITY(int,1,1) AS Number
INTO Numbers
FROM sys.objects s1
CROSS JOIN sys.objects s2
ALTER TABLE Numbers ADD CONSTRAINT PK_Numbers PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (Number)
Once the Numbers table is set up, create this split function:
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[FN_ListToTable]
(
@SplitOn char(1) --REQUIRED, the character to split the @List string on
,@List varchar(8000)--REQUIRED, the list to split apart
)
RETURNS TABLE
AS
RETURN
(
----------------
--SINGLE QUERY-- --this will not return empty rows
----------------
SELECT
ListValue
FROM (SELECT
LTRIM(RTRIM(SUBSTRING(List2, number+1, CHARINDEX(@SplitOn, List2, number+1)-number - 1))) AS ListValue
FROM (
SELECT @SplitOn + @List + @SplitOn AS List2
) AS dt
INNER JOIN Numbers n ON n.Number < LEN(dt.List2)
WHERE SUBSTRING(List2, number, 1) = @SplitOn
) dt2
WHERE ListValue IS NOT NULL AND ListValue!=''
);
GO
Feel free to make your own split function, but you still need the Numbers table for my solution to work.
You can now easily split a CSV string into a table and join on it:
select * from dbo.FN_ListToTable(',','1,2,3,,,4,5,6777,,,')
OUTPUT:
ListValue
-----------------------
1
2
3
4
5
6777
(6 row(s) affected)
now try this:
DECLARE @BaseTable table (RowID int primary key, RowValue varchar(100))
set nocount on
INSERT @BaseTable VALUES ( 1,'The cows came home empty handed')
INSERT @BaseTable VALUES ( 2,'This is my string as a test template to rank') -- third

FROM @BaseTable b
LEFT OUTER JOIN WordMatchCount w ON b.RowID=w.RowID
LEFT OUTER JOIN MatchLen m ON b.RowID=m.RowID
WHERE w.CountOfWordMatch>0
ORDER BY w.CountOfWordMatch DESC,m.MatchStartLen DESC,LEN(b.RowValue) DESC,b.RowValue ASC
OUTPUT:

It does the start of the string word matches a little different, in that it looks at the number of characters from the beginning of the string that match.
Once you get this working, you can try to optimize it by creating some static indexed tables for SplitBaseTable. Possibly use a trigger on your @BaseTable.
