Hello! I'm currently testing deployment of tsearch2 on our forum table. The table is huge in itself - some 2GB of data without the indexes. I have got PostgreSQL 7.4RC2 running on a test machine, installed tsearch2 to my database, added the new column to the table and tried to update it in the recommended fashion:
UPDATE ct_com_board_message SET ftindex=to_tsvector('default',coalesce(user_login,'') ||' '|| coalesce(title,'') ||' '|| coalesce(text,'')); It does run for a while but at some point I get "ERROR: word is too long"; I guess that this is caused by some idiot user(s) writing some Joycean nonsense (but most probably without the literary value) or drivelling about their holidays in Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch (Wales). Now what could I do in order to intercept this error?
