Hi Everybody,
I've been using Postgres for a few months now and have been very impressed with it so far. The user community is also
veryhelpful!
I was wondering if the fulltextindex module would be useful in my situation.
On the document page,
http://techdocs.postgresql.org/techdocs/fulltextindexing.php
the explanation is that the module works well with like queries like this:
SELECT *
FROM table
WHERE
f1.string ~ '^perth
AND f2.string ~ '^stralia'
In my situation, I need to match exact words, so I've used regular expressions to search on a varchar(10000) field:
SELECT *
FROM table
WHERE description ~* ('[^a-zA-Z0-9]($keyword[$x])[^a-zA-Z0-9]');
Would this module still be useful in my situation?
Thanks,
Derek
