CREATE_TEXT_SEARCH_DICTIONARY - define a new text search dictionary
Contents
Compatibility
There is no CREATETEXTSEARCHDICTIONARY statement in the SQL standard.
Description
CREATETEXTSEARCHDICTIONARY creates a new text search dictionary. A text search dictionary specifies a
way of recognizing interesting or uninteresting words for searching. A dictionary depends on a text
search template, which specifies the functions that actually perform the work. Typically the dictionary
provides some options that control the detailed behavior of the template's functions.
If a schema name is given then the text search dictionary is created in the specified schema. Otherwise
it is created in the current schema.
The user who defines a text search dictionary becomes its owner.
Refer to Chapter 12 for further information.
Examples
The following example command creates a Snowball-based dictionary with a nonstandard list of stop words.
CREATE TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY my_russian (
template = snowball,
language = russian,
stopwords = myrussian
);
