Thread: levenshtein_less_equal does not work
Hello to all, I always use PostgreSQL from enterpriseDB. I have both 9.2 and 9.1 latest verions installed on two different Ubuntu 64bit machines. For some reason levenshtein_less_equal does not work, in contrast to levenshtein which works as expected. I even downloaded the src code for PostgreSQL code for fuzzystrmatch and compiled myself, added the so file to the correct place and still it does not work. The process was correct, because I have increased the levenshtein limit from 255 to 2048. Can you tell me how to make levenshtein_less_equal. Are those mysterious IFDEF levenshtein_less_equal that are messing compilation? Thanks, Alexandros -- View this message in context: http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/levenshtein-less-equal-does-not-work-tp5788710.html Sent from the PostgreSQL - general mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Simply replacing an .so file is not going to make any new functions available from SQL. Are you sure the "CREATE EXTENSION fuzzystrmatch" you ran was successful?

You realize fuzzystrmatch is a contrib package, not part of the core code for Postgres?

With your help I found the solution. My DB was initially based on a 9.0 server and I had restored it on the 9.1 server. For some reason 9.0 fuzzystrmatch functions (levenstein...) were already present in this DB. So, CREATE EXTENSION fuzzystrmatch did not work. I had to manually remove function 9.0 fuzzystrmatch functions and then CREATE EXTENSION .... worked perfectly and levenstein_less_equal as well. So, it was error from the DB restored from an older version of postgresql. -- View this message in context: http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/levenshtein-less-equal-does-not-work-tp5788710p5788729.html Sent from the PostgreSQL - general mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Normally in this situation you are supposed to do something like this after the dump/restore: CREATE EXTENSION fuzzystrmatch FROM unpackaged; The file fuzzystrmatch--unpackaged--1.0.sql which is shipped with fuzzystrmatch will then "do the right thing" (at least in theory, can't say I have tried it extensively).
