Dear
Oleg,
In local development server. the old functions still exists in
postgresql catalogs. But probably they are missing in the
newer version of tsearch2.so that came with 8.2.0 . And hence
postgres is crashing. I feel this should have been informed in the
release notes.
tradein_clients=> \df *.rank_cd
List of functions
Schema Name Result data type Argument data types
------ ------- ---------------- -----------------------------------
(older ones)
public rank_cd real integer, tsvector, tsquery
public rank_cd real integer, tsvector, tsquery, integer
(new ones)
public rank_cd real real[], tsvector, tsquery
public rank_cd real real[], tsvector, tsquery, integer
public rank_cd real tsvector, tsquery
public rank_cd real tsvector, tsquery, integer
(6 rows)

Dear Oleg,
thanks for the prompt help. looks like we have to modify
our application code.
i would like to point out :
In our Production Database
\df public.rank_cd
+--------+---------+------------------+-------------------------------------+
| Schema | Name | Result data type | Argument data types |
+--------+---------+------------------+-------------------------------------+
| public | rank_cd | real | integer, tsvector, tsquery |
| public | rank_cd | real | integer, tsvector, tsquery, integer |
| public | rank_cd | real | tsvector, tsquery |
| public | rank_cd | real | tsvector, tsquery, integer |
+--------+---------+------------------+-------------------------------------+
(4 rows)
In tsearch2.sql (with pgsql 8.2.0)
$ grep "CREATE FUNCTION rank_cd" tsearch2.sql
CREATE FUNCTION rank_cd(float4[], tsvector, tsquery)
CREATE FUNCTION rank_cd(float4[], tsvector, tsquery, int4)
CREATE FUNCTION rank_cd(tsvector, tsquery)
CREATE FUNCTION rank_cd(tsvector, tsquery, int4)
This means first arguments have changed from integer to float4[]
This means all the application code needs to be changed now :-/

BTW: above did not work for me
i had to explicitly cast '{1,1,1,1}' to '{1,1,1,1}'::float4[] ,
is anything fishy with my database ?
SELECT name, rank_cd('{1,1,1,1}'::float4[]
,name_vec,to_tsquery('hello') ) as rank from test where name_vec
@@ to_tsquery('hello') ;
( PS: thanks for the nice tsearch software we have been using it since
"pre tsearch" era. (openfts) )
