Yeah. I had been wondering about moving the dict_initoption over to the configuration entry --- is that sane at all? It would mean that dict_init functions would have to guard themselves against invalid options, but they probably ought to do that anyway. If we did that, I think we could have a fixed set of dictionaries without too much problem, and focus on just configurations as being user-alterable. >>> Next, it took me a while to understand how Mapping objects fit into >>> the scheme at all, and now that (I think) I understand, I'm wondering >>> why treat them as an independent concept. > ALTER FULLTEXT CONFIGURATION cfgname ADD MAPPING FOR tokentypename[, ...] > WITH > dictname1[, ...]; > ALTER FULLTEXT CONFIGURATION cfgname ALTER MAPPING FOR tokentypename[, ...] > WITH > dictname1[, ...]; > ALTER FULLTEXT CONFIGURATION cfgname ALTER MAPPING [FOR tokentypename[, ...]] > REPLACE olddictname TO newdictname; > ALTER FULLTEXT CONFIGURATION cfgname DROP MAPPING [IF EXISTS] FOR > tokentypename; > Is it looking reasonable?
