I looked at the diff file and the major change in gram.y is the creation of a new object type FULLTEXT, so you can CREATE, ALTER and DROP FULLTEXT. I don't know fulltext administration well enough, so if Oleg says a function API would be too complex, I am OK with his new parser syntax. -- Bruce Momjian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. + ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
