Hi all,
I have installed PostgreSQL server on a Windows Server 2008 server and
I need to write a more complex parser than the default one in
PostgreSQL. Searching on internet i found this example:
http://www.sai.msu.su/~megera/postgres/gist/tsearch/V2/docs/HOWTO-parser-tsearch2.html
where the parser is written in C language. I would know if can I write
the parser in another language (Java, I'm very poor in C)? And, if I
can, what kind of file would contain the functions of the parser (a
dll file, a class file).
The last question is: in that example are used some functions
(PG_GETARG_POINTER, PG_GETARG_INT32, and so on) that seem PostgreSQL
specific functions; which functions can I use in java?
May be these are banal questions, but I'm a newbee and I don't found
more resources on Internet! :)
Thanks in advance,
Antonio.
Hmm...
I am a Java developer, and Java is my favourite language.
Hiwever, I would never recommend writing this kind of thing in Java, as
C is much more appropriate. So if I did not know C, I would learn C for
this.
Any serious devloper should be reasonable fluent in AT LEAST 2 computer
langusages, and C is quite widely used.
More impoernatly, see if you can run PostgreSQL on LInux or a variety of
Unix, as Micosoft is not ideal as an O/S for performance and other
reasons (to put it diplomatically).
REgards,
Gavin
