And which are the types of argument and returning values of a pl/sql
function which preprocess de text?
I have been searching that, for example, something like this works fine:
CREATE INDEX textindex ON document USING
gin(to_tsvector('english',upper(text)));
where text is the text column of document. But I have tried to do
something like:
CREATE INDEX textindex ON document USING
gin(to_tsvector('english',myfunction(text)));
where myfunction is a PL/SQL function which call upper one, but I didn't
find which are the types of the myfunction argument and returning value.
I am a PL/SQL novice and I didn't find how to do it yet. Of course, then
I will have to change upper experiment to my objective: to index without
accents. I don't know if PL/SQL is the better option to build such
function.
Thanks,
