SQL Server Add No Population To Fulltext Indexes Setting
Published 15 January 2025
Description
Adds the NO POPULATION
clause to all new fulltext indexes, so that you can control when the first population occurs, rather than letting them populate at deployment time.
Note that this will automatically turn change tracking off for those fulltext indexes, as NO POPULATION
is incompatible with other change tracking values.
Type
Boolean
Default
false
Usage
This setting can't be configured other than in a TOML configuration file.
Flyway Desktop
This can be set from the comparison options settings in SQL Server projects.
