Hi, I have installed postgresql 8.1.3 on a SuSE9.3 with tsearch2.82. Tsearch2.82 supports UTF-8 Encoding!! At first i was fighting with a utf-8 problem: invalid utf-8 byte sequence The Problem was the german.aff and german.med Files. These Files weren't encoding for utf-8. I did it with recode from iso-8859-1 to UTF-8 Ive tested with a guide from http://www.sai.msu.su/~megera/postgres/gist/tsearch/V2/ GUIDE: Tsearch2 and Unicode/UTF-8 by Markus Wollny Ive had the Problem @ the Point IV. Configuration of tsearch2 ive downloaded de dictionaries tsearch2_german_utf8.zip and @ this command: select set_curdict('de_ispell'); Result is this Error: ERROR: Affix parse error at 448 line Ive got the same Error at the tsearch2 functionality test: e.g. select * ts_debug('only a test'); Can anyone help? Or knows anyone who can help? THX for the time.. Raphi -- Bis zu 70% Ihrer Onlinekosten sparen: GMX SmartSurfer! Kostenlos downloaden: http://www.gmx.net/de/go/smartsurfer
