CREATE TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE(7)                            SQL Commands                            CREATE TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE(7)



NAME
       CREATE TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE - define a new text search template


SYNOPSIS
       CREATE TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE name (
           [ INIT = init_function , ]
           LEXIZE = lexize_function
       )


DESCRIPTION
       CREATE TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE creates a new text search template. Text search templates define the functions that implement
       text search dictionaries. A template is not useful by itself, but must be instantiated as a dictionary to  be  used.  The
       dictionary typically specifies parameters to be given to the template functions.

       If  a  schema  name is given then the text search template is created in the specified schema. Otherwise it is created in
       the current schema.

       You must be a superuser to use CREATE TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE. This restriction is made because  an  erroneous  text  search
       template  definition  could  confuse  or even crash the server.  The reason for separating templates from dictionaries is
       that a template encapsulates the ``unsafe'' aspects of defining a dictionary.  The parameters that can be set when defin-
       ing a dictionary are safe for unprivileged users to set, and so creating a dictionary need not be a privileged operation.

       Refer to in the documentation for further information.

PARAMETERS
       name   The name of the text search template to be created. The name can be schema-qualified.

       init_function
              The name of the init function for the template.

       lexize_function
              The name of the lexize function for the template.

       The  function  names can be schema-qualified if necessary. Argument types are not given, since the argument list for each
       type of function is predetermined. The lexize function is required, but the init function is optional.

       The arguments can appear in any order, not only the one shown above.

COMPATIBILITY
       There is no CREATE TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE statement in the SQL standard.
