> You could write a one trigger for the table to handle both. > Something like this : ----- CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION multi_tsearch2() RETURNS TRIGGER AS ' DECLARE BEGIN NEW.fti_title = to_tsvector(''default'', NEW.title); NEW.fti_author_list = to_tsvector(''simple'', NEW.author_list); RETURN NEW; END; ' LANGUAGE 'PLPGSQL'; CREATE TRIGGER tsvectorupdate_all BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE ON publications FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE multi_tsearch2(); ---- You can modify the function to be slightly more configurable with parameters taking the column names, and config names and make it a little more reusable. You can accomplish what you want though. Andy
