compatibility package. This supports importing dumps from past versions
using tsearch2, and provides the old names and API for most functions
that were changed. (rewrite(ARRAY[...]) is a glaring omission, though.)
Pavel Stehule and Tom Lane
- supports multibyte encodings
- more strict rules for lexemes
- flex isn't used
Add:
- tsquery plainto_tsquery(text)
Function makes tsquery from plain text.
- &&, ||, !! operation for tsquery for combining
tsquery from it's parts: 'foo & bar' || 'asd' => 'foo & bar | asd'
1 Comparison operation for tsquery
2 Btree index on tsquery
3 numnode(tsquery) - returns 'length' of tsquery
4 tsquery @ tsquery, tsquery ~ tsquery - contains, contained for tsquery.
Note: They don't gurantee exact result, only MAY BE, so it
useful only for speed up rewrite functions
5 GiST index support for @,~
6 rewrite():
select rewrite(orig, what, to);
select rewrite(ARRAY[orig, what, to]) from tsquery_table;
select rewrite(orig, 'select what, to from tsquery_table;');
7 significantly improve cover algorithm
literally.
Add GUC variables:
"escape_string_warning" - warn about backslashes in non-E strings
"escape_string_syntax" - supports E'' syntax?
"standard_compliant_strings" - treats backslashes literally in ''
Update code to use E'' when escapes are used.
