Tsearch2 comes with its own tsearch2 trigger function. You pass column names to
it, and it puts a vanilla tsvector into the column names in TG_ARGV[0] (zero
based, yes?). Not only can you pass column names to it, but you can pass simple
functions to it as well. This is magical to me. :)
I'm trying to figure out how to do the same thing, except instead of returning
a vanilla tsvector, I want to return a specially weighted tsvector. I've
created a function that can do this:
create or replace function name_vector (text) returns tsvector as '
select setweight(to_tsvector(substr($1,1,strpos($1,'',''))),''C'') ||
to_tsvector(substr($1,strpos($1,'','')+1,length($1)));
' language 'sql';
so...
Plain:
select to_tsvector('Einstein, Albert'); to_tsvector
-------------------------'albert':2 'einstein':1
Weighted:
select name_vector('Einstein, Albert'); name_vector
--------------------------'albert':2 'einstein':1C
Now, to somehow package that into a magical trigger function...
All the examples for creating trigger functions that I've found use static
column names, NEW and OLD ... I would like to create a generic trigger
function, as the tsearch2 trigger function does, to return the specially
weighted tsvector.
Its like a lighter to a caveman. Can anyone lend a hand?
