Hello,
i am currently evaluating the migration cost from 8.3 -> 9.x and in order to do
that,
i think i must have a confident view of the situation of my app with 8.4.6 as
an intermediate stage.
I noticed a few minor incompatibilities, but also a change in behaviour in full
text search:
Table "public.vmanews"
Column | Type | Modifiers
---------+----------+---------------------------------------------------------------------
id | integer | not null default
nextval(('public.vmanews_id_seq'::text)::regclass)
newid | integer | not null
date | date | not null default now()
vslid | integer | not null
cat | text | not null
appname | text | not null
header | text | not null
content | text | not null
idxfti | tsvector |
Indexes:
"vmanews_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (id)
"vmanews_vslid_newid" UNIQUE, btree (vslid, newid)
"vmanews_idxfti_idx" gist (idxfti)
"vmanews_vslid" btree (vslid)
Foreign-key constraints:
"$1" FOREIGN KEY (vslid) REFERENCES vessels(id)
Triggers:
vmanews_tsvectorupdate BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE ON vmanews FOR EACH ROW
EXECUTE PROCEDURE tsvector_update_trigger('idxfti', 'pg_catalog.english',
'header', 'content')
in 8.3 :
postg...@dynacom=# SELECT idxfti from vmanews where id=28717;
idxfti
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'8':25 'ad':12,34 'job':9,30 'pms':62 'vma':61 'attn':3 'fuel':20 'hour':27

'deliveri':36 'opportun':54 'overlook':41 'tech.dept':64 'tks/brgds':63
'000running':26 'master/cheng':4
(1 row)
(here is the important command)
postg...@dynacom=# SELECT idxfti @@ to_tsquery('overlooked') from vmanews where
id=28717;
?column?
----------
t
(1 row)
while in 8.4.6 :
SELECT idxfti from vmanews where id=28717;
idxfti
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'000running':26 '8':25 'absorb':23,51 'ad':12,34 'attn':3 'check':18,47
'deliveri':36 'engin':2,17 'everi':24 'first':53 'fuel':20 'hour':27
'inspect':57 'job':9,30 'kind':43 'main':1,16 'master/cheng':4 'note':6
'opportun':54 'overlook':41 'pleas':5 'pms':62 'pump':21 'report':55
'request':44 'respect':49 'result':58 'shock':22,50 'sinc':28 'tech.dept':64
'tks/brgds':63 'vessel':14,38 'vma':61 'vma-pm':60
(1 row)
and (the important command in 8.4.6)
dynacom=# SELECT idxfti @@ to_tsquery('overlooked') from vmanews where id=28717;
?column?
----------
f
(1 row)
So, searching for "overlooked" which the original word in the text, in 8.3
idxfti @@ to_tsquery('overlooked') returns true
while in 8.4.6 idxfti @@ to_tsquery('overlooked') returns false.
Is there anything i am missing?
