Hi! I'm not sure how to write a good $subject for this , but here it goes; I'd like to have a multi-column index on a varchar-field and a tsvector-field. GIN only likes tsvector-fields so I'm wondering if it's possible to create a tsvector from a text which doesn't breake the text up in vectors, but uses the whole string as the vector instead? Given the schema: CREATE TABLE mytable( id SERIAL PRIMAY KEY, field VARCHAR NOT NULL, tsvector_col tsvector NOT NULL ); I'd like to form a query as follows: SELECT id FROM mytable WHERE tsvector_col @@ to_tsquery('simple', 'andre:*') AND to_tsvector('simple', field) @@ to_tsquery('simple', 'full_text_search'); And I'd like it to be semantically equivalent of: SELECT id FROM mytable WHERE tsvector_col LIKE 'andrea%' AND field = 'full_text_search'; But I see that 'full_text_search' is broken up (of course): andreak=# select to_tsvector('simple', 'full_text_search'); to_tsvector ------------------------------ 'full':1 'search':3 'text':2 Is it a way to achieve what I'm trying here? -- Andreas Joseph Krogh <andreak@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Senior Software Developer / CTO Public key: http://home.officenet.no/~andreak/public_key.asc ------------------------+---------------------------------------------+ OfficeNet AS | The most difficult thing in the world is to | Rosenholmveien 25 | know how to do a thing and to watch | 1414 Trollåsen | somebody else doing it wrong, without | NORWAY | comment. | Org.nr: NO 981 479 076 | | | | Tlf: +47 24 15 38 90 | | Fax: +47 24 15 38 91 | | Mobile: +47 909 56 963 | | ------------------------+---------------------------------------------+ -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
