Has no effect on full-text catalogs in [!INCLUDEssKatmai] and later versions and is supported for backward compatibility only. sp_fulltext_database does not disable the Full-Text Engine for a given database. All user-created databases in [!INCLUDEssCurrent] are always enabled for full-text indexing.
Important
[!INCLUDEssNoteDepFutureDontUse] Use [!INCLUDEssManStudio] instead.

0 (success) or 1 (failure)
None
In [!INCLUDEssKatmai] and later versions, full-text indexing cannot be turned off. Disabling full-text indexing does not remove rows from sysfulltextcatalogs and does not indicate that full-text enabled tables are no longer marked for full-text indexing. All the full-text metadata definitions are still in the system tables.
Only members of the sysadmin fixed server role and db_owner fixed database role can execute sp_fulltext_database.
