CREATE TE...IGURATION(7)  PostgreSQL 18.6 Documentation CREATE TE...IGURATION(7)

NAME
     CREATE_TEXT_SEARCH_CONFIGURATION - define a new text search configuration

SYNOPSIS
     CREATE TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION name (
	 PARSER = parser_name |
	 COPY = source_config
     )

DESCRIPTION
     CREATE TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION creates a new text search configuration. A
     text  search configuration specifies a text search parser that can divide a
     string into tokens, plus dictionaries that can be used to	determine  which
     tokens are of interest for searching.

     If  only  the  parser  is specified, then the new text search configuration
     initially has no mappings from token types to dictionaries,  and  therefore
     will  ignore all words. Subsequent ALTER TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION commands
     must be used to create mappings to make the configuration useful.	Alterna-
     tively, an existing text search configuration can be copied.

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

     The user who defines a text search configuration becomes its owner.

     Refer to Chapter 12 for further information.

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

     parser_name
	 The name of the text search parser to use for this configuration.

     source_config
	 The name of an existing text search configuration to copy.

NOTES
     The  PARSER and COPY options are mutually exclusive, because when an exist-
     ing configuration is copied, its parser selection is copied too.

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

SEE ALSO
     ALTER TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION (ALTER_TEXT_SEARCH_CONFIGURATION(7)),  DROP
     TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION (DROP_TEXT_SEARCH_CONFIGURATION(7))
