A full-text catalog is a logical container where a group of full-text indexes are stored. A full-text catalog is needed before you can create a full-text index. Full-text catalog is a virtual object and does not belong to the file group.
In order to text search a full-text index will be needed. For example, the Categories table in Northwind does not have a full-text indexed column. If you try to create a Full-Text indexed column you will get this error:
-----------
Msg 9967, Level 16, State 1, Line 11
A default full-text catalog does not exist in database 'Northwind' or user does not have permission to perform this action.
--------------
You can create a Full-text catalog using the SQL Server Management Studio or using Transact-SQL(T-SQL)
---------
Here is how it is created for Northwind database in SQL Server 2016 using T-SQL
USE Northwind
Go
Create FULLTEXT CATALOG ftCat_Nwind as default
Go
------
Before the above statement was run there was no Catalog:
After the above statement was processed the named catalog was created:
Caution:
Although SQL Server 2016 SP1 allows you to create a Full-Text Catalog, you will find it missing in the System Views as in the following query.
The reason for this error is that the Full-Text feature was not installed in the first place.
