Tom Lane 592c88a0d2 Remove the aggregate form of ts_rewrite(), since it doesn't work as desired
if there are zero rows to aggregate over, and the API seems both conceptually
and notationally ugly anyway.  We should look for something that improves
on the tsquery-and-text-SELECT version (which is also pretty ugly but at
least it works...), but it seems that will take query infrastructure that
doesn't exist today.  (Hm, I wonder if there's anything in or near SQL2003
window functions that would help?)  Per discussion.

Tom Lane dbaec70c15 Rename and slightly redefine the default text search parser's "word"
categories, as per discussion.  asciiword (formerly lword) is still
ASCII-letters-only, and numword (formerly word) is still the most general
mixed-alpha-and-digits case.  But word (formerly nlword) is now
any-group-of-letters-with-at-least-one-non-ASCII, rather than all-non-ASCII as
before.  This is no worse than before for parsing mixed Russian/English text,
which seems to have been the design center for the original coding; and it
should simplify matters for parsing most European languages.  In particular
it will not be necessary for any language to accept strings containing digits
as being regular "words".  The hyphenated-word categories are adjusted
similarly.

Tom Lane f551348417 Clarify example of planner cost computation, per a suggestion from
James Shaw.  Also update a couple of examples to reflect 8.3's improved
plan-printing code.

Tom Lane 3e17ef1cfa Adjust ts_debug's output as per my proposal of yesterday: show the
active dictionary and its output lexemes as separate columns, instead
of smashing them into one text column, and lowercase the column names.
Also, define the output rowtype using OUT parameters instead of a
composite type, to be consistent with the other built-in functions.

Tom Lane 6088bfb8b6 Create a quick-and-dirty list of known migration issues for pre-8.3
users of tsearch.  This isn't meant to be permanent documentation,
but to call out the areas that need either fixing or real documentation.
2007-10-22 03:37:04 +00:00
Tom Lane dfc6f130b4 Editorial overhaul for text search documentation. Organize the info
more clearly, improve a lot of unclear descriptions, add some missing
material.  We still need a migration guide though.

Tom Lane 41a312a1f6 Add a note pointing out that you can't log to syslog without tweaking
the syslog configuration file (at least not on most known Unixen).
I dunno why we hadn't had that info in the docs all along ...

<H3 id="item4.19">4.19) Why do I get "relation with OID #####
    does not exist" errors when accessing temporary tables in PL/PgSQL
    functions?</H3>
2007-10-17 17:34:51 +00:00
Tom Lane 6efae5bf2a Another round of editorialization on the text search documentation.
Notably, standardize on using "token" for the strings output by a parser,
while "lexeme" is reserved for the normalized strings produced by a
dictionary.

Tom Lane 18e3fcc31e Migrate the former contrib/txid module into core. This will make it easier
