ALTER TE...IGURATION(7) PostgreSQL 18.6 Documentation ALTER TE...IGURATION(7) NAME ALTER_TEXT_SEARCH_CONFIGURATION - change the definition of a text search configuration SYNOPSIS ALTER TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION name ADD MAPPING FOR token_type [, ... ] WITH dictionary_name [, ... ] ALTER TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION name ALTER MAPPING FOR token_type [, ... ] WITH dictionary_name [, ... ] ALTER TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION name ALTER MAPPING REPLACE old_dictionary WITH new_dictionary ALTER TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION name ALTER MAPPING FOR token_type [, ... ] REPLACE old_dictionary WITH new_dictionary ALTER TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION name DROP MAPPING [ IF EXISTS ] FOR token_type [, ... ] ALTER TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION name RENAME TO new_name ALTER TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION name OWNER TO { new_owner | CURRENT_ROLE | CURRENT_USER | SESSION_USER } ALTER TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION name SET SCHEMA new_schema DESCRIPTION ALTER TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION changes the definition of a text search configuration. You can modify its mappings from token types to dictionar- ies, or change the configuration's name or owner. You must be the owner of the configuration to use ALTER TEXT SEARCH CONFIG- URATION. PARAMETERS name The name (optionally schema-qualified) of an existing text search con- figuration. token_type The name of a token type that is emitted by the configuration's parser. dictionary_name The name of a text search dictionary to be consulted for the specified token type(s). If multiple dictionaries are listed, they are consulted in the specified order. old_dictionary The name of a text search dictionary to be replaced in the mapping. new_dictionary The name of a text search dictionary to be substituted for old_dictio- nary. new_name The new name of the text search configuration. new_owner The new owner of the text search configuration. new_schema The new schema for the text search configuration. The ADD MAPPING FOR form installs a list of dictionaries to be consulted for the specified token type(s); it is an error if there is already a map- ping for any of the token types. The ALTER MAPPING FOR form does the same, but first removing any existing mapping for those token types. The ALTER MAPPING REPLACE forms substitute new_dictionary for old_dictionary anywhere the latter appears. This is done for only the specified token types when FOR appears, or for all mappings of the configuration when it doesn't. The DROP MAPPING form removes all dictionaries for the specified token type(s), causing tokens of those types to be ignored by the text search configura- tion. It is an error if there is no mapping for the token types, unless IF EXISTS appears. EXAMPLES The following example replaces the english dictionary with the swedish dic- tionary anywhere that english is used within my_config. ALTER TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION my_config ALTER MAPPING REPLACE english WITH swedish; COMPATIBILITY There is no ALTER TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION statement in the SQL standard.
