ALTER TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY(7) PostgreSQL 9.5.0 Documentation
NAME
ALTER_TEXT_SEARCH_DICTIONARY - change the definition of a text search
dictionary
SYNOPSIS
ALTER TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY name (
option [ = value ] [, ... ]
)
ALTER TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY name RENAME TO new_name
ALTER TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY name OWNER TO { new_owner | CURRENT_USER | SESSION_USER }
ALTER TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY name SET SCHEMA new_schema
DESCRIPTION
ALTER TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY changes the definition of a text search
dictionary. You can change the dictionary's template-specific options,
or change the dictionary's name or owner.
You must be the owner of the dictionary to use ALTER TEXT SEARCH
DICTIONARY.
PARAMETERS
name
The name (optionally schema-qualified) of an existing text search
dictionary.
option
The name of a template-specific option to be set for this
dictionary.
value
The new value to use for a template-specific option. If the equal
sign and value are omitted, then any previous setting for the
option is removed from the dictionary, allowing the default to be
used.
new_name
The new name of the text search dictionary.
new_owner
The new owner of the text search dictionary.
new_schema
The new schema for the text search dictionary.
Template-specific options can appear in any order.
EXAMPLES
The following example command changes the stopword list for a
Snowball-based dictionary. Other parameters remain unchanged.
ALTER TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY my_dict ( StopWords = newrussian );
The following example command changes the language option to dutch, and
removes the stopword option entirely.
ALTER TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY my_dict ( language = dutch, StopWords );
The following example command "updates" the dictionary's definition
without actually changing anything.
ALTER TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY my_dict ( dummy );
(The reason this works is that the option removal code doesn't complain
if there is no such option.) This trick is useful when changing
configuration files for the dictionary: the ALTER will force existing
database sessions to re-read the configuration files, which otherwise
they would never do if they had read them earlier.
COMPATIBILITY
There is no ALTER TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY statement in the SQL standard.
