16
18 ALTER TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY changes the definition of a text search
19 dictionary. You can change the dictionary's template-specific options,
20 or change the dictionary's name or owner.
21
22 You must be the owner of the dictionary to use ALTER TEXT SEARCH
23 DICTIONARY.
24
26 name
27 The name (optionally schema-qualified) of an existing text search
28 dictionary.
29
30 option
31 The name of a template-specific option to be set for this
32 dictionary.
33
34 value
35 The new value to use for a template-specific option. If the equal
36 sign and value are omitted, then any previous setting for the
37 option is removed from the dictionary, allowing the default to be
38 used.
39
40 new_name
41 The new name of the text search dictionary.
42
43 new_owner
44 The new owner of the text search dictionary.
45
46 new_schema
47 The new schema for the text search dictionary.
48
49 Template-specific options can appear in any order.

52 The following example command changes the stopword list for a
53 Snowball-based dictionary. Other parameters remain unchanged.
54
55 ALTER TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY my_dict ( StopWords = newrussian );
56
57 The following example command changes the language option to dutch, and
58 removes the stopword option entirely.
59
60 ALTER TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY my_dict ( language = dutch, StopWords );
61
62 The following example command “updates” the dictionary's definition
63 without actually changing anything.
64
65 ALTER TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY my_dict ( dummy );
66
67 (The reason this works is that the option removal code doesn't complain
68 if there is no such option.) This trick is useful when changing
69 configuration files for the dictionary: the ALTER will force existing
70 database sessions to re-read the configuration files, which otherwise
71 they would never do if they had read them earlier.
72
74 There is no ALTER TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY statement in the SQL standard.
