Here is an example

CREATE FUNCTION dropatsymbol(text) RETURNS text
AS 'select replace($1, ''@'', '' '');'
LANGUAGE SQL;

arxiv=# select to_tsvector('english',dropatsymbol('oleg@xxxxxxxxxx'));
       to_tsvector
-------------------------
 'oleg':1 'sai.msu.su':2

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,

 Mario Barcala

You can preprocess text (replace accent by nothing) before
to_tsvector or to_tsquery

Hi again:

I am trying to create a full text configuration to ignore word accents in
my searches. My approach is similar to simple dicionary one, but i want to
remove accents after converting to lower.

Is it the only way to do it to develop another .c and write my own
dict_noaccent.c, and then compile and install it into the system?

Regars,

 Mario Barcala
