ABC,
Unfortunately, it is not directly possible in any SQL Server versions,
including SQL Server 2005 as you must have a unique, single non-nullable
column to FT-enabled a table... That said, the workaround is easy. Alter the
table and add a int column with the identity property, for example:
use Northwind
go
exec sp_help EmployeeTerritories -- PK is PK_EmployeeTerritories
(EmployeeID, TerritoryID)
go
-- Alter Table: add unique, single non-nullable column
ALTER TABLE EmployeeTerritories ADD ET_Ident int identity (1, 1) NOT NULL
go
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX ET_Ident_IDX on EmployeeTerritories(ET_Ident)
go
exec sp_help EmployeeTerritories
Hope that helps!
John

Thanks, It will be a large great workload to alter all tables (over 200
tables).

You're welcome, ABC,
Unfortunately, this limit is by design and *might* be lifted in the next
version of SQL Server, post-SQL Server 2005.
However, if you're FT-enabling over 200 tables, you should be aware of
another SQL Server 2000 (and not SQL 2005) limit of 256 FT Catalogs per
server (machine). I'd recommend that you create a limited number of related
FT Catalogs and then use these to place more than one Ft-enabled table in
each FT Catalog.
Regards,
John
