I am using Linq to SQL to call a stored procedure which runs a full-text search and returns the rank plus a few specific columns from the table Article
. The rank column is the rank returned from the SQL function FREETEXTTABLE(). I've added this sproc to the O/R designer with return type Article
This is working to get the columns I need; however, it discards the ranking of each search result. I'd like to get this information so I can display it to the user.
So far, I've tried creating a new class RankedArticle
which inherits from Article
and adds the column Rank
, then changing the return type of my sproc mapping to RankedArticle
. When I try this, an InvalidOperationException gets thrown:
Data member 'Int32 ArticleID' of type 'Heap.Models.Article' is not part of the mapping for type 'RankedArticle'. Is the member above the root of an inheritance hierarchy?
If I let the O/R designer set the sproc's own return type, it returns an int rather than a "SearchArticlesByKeywordResult" object. I'm not sure why this is, perhaps because the sproc is returning a union? Here is my procedure:
SELECT ftt.[rank] as [Rank], ArticleID, Subject
FROM Article
INNER JOIN FREETEXTTABLE( Article, (Subject, Body), @KeywordList ) AS ftt
ON ftt.[key] = Article.ArticleID
SELECT ftt.[rank] as [Rank], Article.ArticleID as ArticleID, Article.Subject as Subject
FROM Article
INNER JOIN Solution ON Solution.ArticleID = Article.ArticleID
INNER JOIN FREETEXTTABLE( Solution, Body, @KeywordList ) AS ftt
ON ftt.[key] = Solution.SolutionID
ORDER BY [Rank] DESC
I can't seem to find any other questions or Google results from people trying to get the rank column, so I'm probably missing something obvious here.

About TJ
T.J. is team leader of Grow Sales, Inc., a marketing and social media services company operating at the intersection of compelling content, clear vision and quality communication practices. In this blog, fire is a metaphor for print. Hang on, this ride will be weird...
Prometheus crept into Mt. Olympus, stole fire, returned to the lowlands, ran from house to house distributing it, got caught, was chained to a rock, lost his liver to a huge ugly bird and was rescued by Hercules. Leveraging his fame, Prometheus started Fire Enterprises Inc. (FEI). Since fire was the hottest technology of the time, company success came fast and furious. Two generations later, fire isn't such an easy sale. Now led by Prometheus' grandson Org, FEI's growth is non-existent, competitors are pounding and prices are in the toilet.

Marka Outlines The Principles Behind a 'Customer Nurture Program' (Part II)
By T.J. Tedesco
| Posted on June 03, 2010
Share & Save
Text Size
Last time, Fire Enterprises, Inc. (FEI) President Org, Marka the marketer, Zoot the salesperson and Numo the accountant covered the basic principles of a "Customer Nurture Program" (CNP) for targeting businesses. Today, these same characters discuss cost advantages of the CNP compared to in-person sales calls. Remember, fire = print.
Org plucked an olive out of a jar by his desk and dropped it in his mouth. "Olives?" he offered the tribe, glancing out his window at the grey day outside.
The tribe knew that jar had been in Org's drawer since the days of Prometheus. They were hungry, but not that hungry.
"Thanks, Org, but we're saving our appetites for lunch," Marka said, rubbing her belly.
"How are we going to implement our new Customer Nurture Program?" Org asked, leaning back in his heavy oak chair contemplating the authoritative sounding acronym CNP.
"This program will help us maximize the use of Zoot's sales force by letting them focus on the most promising prospects in person, while still keeping in touch with everyone else," Marka explained. "There are lots of ways to get our brand and message in front of important business influencers at important companies."
Zoot, the consummate people person, was skeptical. He grabbed a comb out of the pocket in his toga and ran it through his shiny black hair. "We don't want any customer or prospect to feel neglected."
"Of course not," Marka said. "But your sales runners can't be everywhere at once. The idea is to provide information that speaks to our customers' needs in an entertaining, usable way, which will reinforce our reputation for being reliable and a source of knowledge. Then, they'll think of us first when they need fire. A Customer Nurture Program is a cost effective way to keep the FEI brand in front of our repeat customers and hook new ones. We show them we care about their needs, at a fraction of the cost of one of your sales calls."
"We could still follow up in person," Zoot mumbled, mostly to himself. He was beginning to see some of the program's advantages.
"Our CNP will help us win top-of-mind positioning, allowing us to still sell when we're not physically present," Marka said. "Our CNP messaging will prime the pump for better sales performance. When solid opportunities materialize, we'll use our skilled sales runners to move the battlefield away from price by assuring exemplary service and value."
"Our CNP program will work in support of our sales efforts," Zoot exclaimed. "I'm starting to hear you."
"Since an Omail, piece of direct mail or telephone call costs a fraction of a sales call, we'll lower our cost of sales and make a larger profit!" Numo blurted out, stretching his bony thin fingers excitedly.
The clouds outside were breaking apart revealing spots of pale blue sky trying to break free.
"The key for B2B CNP success is proper segmentation of our database," Marka said, injecting a sense of urgency to the discussion. "For maximum effectiveness, our communication streams need to be relevant to all recipients.
Marka's thoughts on CNP segmentation included:
• Current customers would benefit from receiving different communications than prospects.
- Often, prospects are less knowledgeable about a company's product and service offerings so basic informational needs should be emphasized.
- Communications with existing customers should be focused on up-selling premium products and cross-selling different product lines.
- Captured information about prior FEI experiences should be incorporated in the CNP stream. If a customer expressed unhappiness for any reason, acknowledgment and a promise of a different experience may make a difference in winning future business opportunities.
• Information about FEI services should be differentiated by job function.
- Presidents and CEOs need to hear about high-level benefits. Operational details can be saved for others in the company. Communications should be short and to the point. For overloaded top managers, less is more.
- Front line business influencers—such as estimators, customer service representatives, purchasing agents and sales reps—need more detailed information about FEI products and services. Promising to make people who do business with FEI look good within their organizations works with people at this level.
- Mid-level managers are often the ones who lose sleep over business troubles. For them, promise a good night's sleep when FEI lighting, warmth and energy solutions are deployed.
• If properly used, other factors such as geography, personal interests and client line of business each could be used for compelling CNP communications.
"How frequently should we send CNP touches?" Org asked, raising his brow and creating wrinkles.
"We want enough contact to effectively win top-of-mind position, but not over do it to the point of being a bother," Marka said. "We should experiment with different message spacing, but in general, every 2, 4 or 6 weeks makes sense for most targeted segments. For important, but non-operational individuals like board of directors, our informational touches could easily be every 12 weeks or even longer."
"Some people simply need more attention," Zoot cautioned. He knew from experience that some customers required constant contact to remain top-of-mind, while others were lower-maintenance.
"That's fine," Marka agreed. "We can have different levels of frequency for communications. The timing is part of the message. There's no one-size-fits-all solution."
"Our important business contacts need to receive relevant 'branding touches' that matter to them," Org said, walking to the grogaccino machine in the corner of his office for his fifth cup of the day.

Irish dude spends his weekends in blackface (a weirdo!)
from Heems – New York City Cops Lyrics on Rap Genius
Many Irish immigrants that came to America during the 19th-20th century became police officers and many still are today. Blackface is seen as extremely racist, so for this "typical" NY cop to wear blackface on the weekends (his free time) shows that he is racist because he does this for enjoyment. WEIRD!

-- then return right now. What Sports Radio show you EI. But our buck and -- got a 37 WE idiotic question all day. Has been Roger Clemens verdict yesterday comes down after eleven hours of deliberation what all the voters do. When his name comes up in December well we've got to seven. Chatham lined up to give you their take. On what to expect when their voting comes up in December we'll label Roger Clemens. Yes you know you wanna fire through some hall of fame voters here today -- ethic that's pretty good idea well let's get this thing started here -- Krasner can be ESPN. He's got to vote he joins us hey Jerry Roger Clemens in all route or why in December. Well that we've played -- you know I. And that's that before anything I think -- street schools a -- you know I think there are people who stated that what you're doing it so. Just look at the numbers and you can't really looked at it's a PED use. And that people who say. If you do any kind of steroids are never voted for a while certainly not voting form -- the first ballots so. Do those two extreme sort of the middle ground voter I'm trying to. I tried to wait. In hopes that maybe this thing will get some clarity to it over the Easter you know will be able to put a perspective of they hear about all there waiting her trip but something like that. Police helping me out of that. All of paid a visit to outline from -- baseball writers -- the policy and so. What sort of leapt to her own devices and that the one thing also about Clemens came bond -- and I know this might be a cop well good. I didn't think you could say that they were both hall of famers. Forties started doing this stuff so. -- probably put a little bit of different fraternity. So I can't definitively say yes you know yet but I think I'm more inclined to vote for him that I -- and you know for state. -- thermal water -- guys who I think. There. Accomplishments almost solely fueled you know -- the -- -- their reach almost solely fueled by their use cell. I guess if you on the state leaning toward at this point I think that's where it's side. Guard -- appreciated.

Bernadette Mosala (via nobodyinoregon)So tru it hurts
the worst way for friendships to end is for literally nothing to go wrong, you just stop talking. they stop messaging you to see how youre doing and you get sick of being the first one to initiate conversation so you just let the friendship go and wonder how that person is doing and never hear from them again

Air Canada makes direct pitch to city councillors over Porter plan
Air Canada records a loss in first quarter as it faces stiff competition on routes in Canada, U.S. and to South America.
A senior Air Canada executive is urging Mayor Rob Ford and Toronto city councillors to carefully weigh the public interest when considering Porter Airlines' request to fly jets from the island airport.
In a five-page letter that was emailed Friday to politicians, Air Canada vice-president Derek Vanstone argues that "the debate is off on the wrong foot."
He emphasizes the need for broad consultation on what should happen at the airport, calling it a valuable resource for Toronto, while ensuring appropriate spending of infrastructure funds and respecting other users of the waterfront.
"The future of this public facility must be considered in light of what is best for Toronto, not what best drives one airline's business strategy," Vanstone writes in a letter, obtained by the Star. "Porter is certainly allowed to pursue its commercial interests, but the onus on city council is larger."
Asked to comment on Vanstone's letter, Porter spokesman Brad Cicero said Air Canada is worried more about Porter as a competitor than it is about the airport.
"Everybody does have access," Cicero told the Star Friday evening, noting slots are granted by the port authority: if Porter wants more slots, it has to compete. Air Canada has challenged the slot allocation process and lost in court, he said.
Porter, he said, hopes Toronto councillors will vote in favour of a review of an existing ban on jets because it would ensure that necessary information on the expansion plan becomes available.
Last month, Porter Airlines announced it has placed a conditional order for up to 30 Bombardier CS100 jets, which would expand the airline's reach to cities across North America and into the Caribbean. Jet service would begin in 2016.
But, to accommodate Porter's expansion plans, the airport's runway must be extended at both ends into the lake to handle the bigger aircraft and an existing rule that ban jets must be lifted.
The three parties — Ottawa, the Toronto Port Authority and the city — that signed the tripartite agreement governing island airport operations would need to sign off on any changes. Both the federal government and the port authority, which operates the airport, have said they want to hear from city council first.
Rob Ford supports the Porter expansion and has agreed to move the plan forward. He brought a surprise motion to executive committee to ask city manager Joe Penachetti to offer advice on the Porter proposal by July. City council will consider that motion next week.
Since Porter's announcement, CEO Robert Deluce has been making the rounds to sell his plan to politicians.
He has also launched a direct email campaign urging Porter passengers to write their city councillors in support of the expansion. They can sign onto a website and emails will be sent off on their behalf.
Air Canada's Vanstone expresses serious concerns about the plan, including Porter's willingness to pay for the costs of the city study to look into noise levels, estimated upwards of $200,000.
"Porter's recent offer to 'pay' the costs of the study that city staff will undertake is entirely improper and could constitute a conflict of interest," Vanstone said. "Accepting this offer would set a dangerous precedent, and it would taint all of the findings that come out of the process."
Air Canada has long complained that the island airport has unfairly benefitted Porter Airlines and Deluce, whose company also controls the terminal. Out of 202 daily takeoff and landing slots, Porter has 172. Air Canada has 30, usually on its Toronto-Montreal route.
In a conference call with analysts on Friday, Air Canada president and CEO Calin Rovinsecu said little when asked about the Porter initiative.
"We believe the Toronto island airport is not a private playground, and therefore carriers should have proper access to it," he said.
In his letter, Vanstone argued that before the airport is expanded — if that's the vision for the airport — "access must be available to all airlines wishing to fly from the airport." He noted that it would benefit Air Canada, but other domestic and U.S. carriers would also be interested in operations there.
He also questioned Deluce's suggestion that the ban on jets not be lifted entirely, rather that just the CS100 jets be exempted.
"We believe that rather than creating specific exemptions for Porter's chosen type of jet, the noise parameters of operations overall should be considered — and any aircraft which meets the noise parameter should be permitted," Vanstone wrote.
Bombardier is in the final stages of building the CS100 jet, due for a first test by the end of June. It has said the plane generates about the same noise level as the Q400 turboprops, the aircraft currently used by Porter.
Air Canada, which is also considering the CSeries jets as it replaces narrow-body planes, noted in its letter that "any noise data which exists on these aircraft is, at this point, purely hypothetical."
Vanstone also took aim at Porter's plan, by which, he alleges, "an individual user of a public entity is pursuing policy changes and infrastructure improvements for its sole enjoyment …"
He argued that Porter's proposal should be viewed as "a play to further entrench its ability to use the Toronto City Airport exclusively and to the exclusion of all others, and ultimately, the appropriateness of anyone acceding to this request should be subject to review by the Competition Bureau."
