Hello,

I'm trying to get a Dutch snowball stemmer in Postgres 8.1, but I can't
find how to do that.

I found CREATE FULLTEXT DICTIONARY commands in the tsearch2 docs on
http://www.sai.msu.su/~megera/postgres/fts/doc/index.html, but these
commands are apparently not available on PG8.1.

I also found the tables pg_ts_(cfg|cfgmap|dict|parser), but I have no
idea how to add a Dutch stemmer to those.

I did find some references to stem.[ch] files that were suggested to
compile into the postgres sources, but I cannot believe that's the right
way to do this (besides that I don't have sufficient privileges to
install such a version).

So... How do I do this?

The system involved is some version of Debian Linux (2.6 kernel); are
there any packages for a Dutch stemmer maybe?

I'm in a bit of a hurry too, as we're on a tight deadline :(

Regards,
