Re: Tsearch 2, index in different table?

Charley:

thanks for the reply, I have already tried this.

I have something like this:

CREATE TABLE tsearch_index ( i serial PRIMARY key);
CREATE TABLE book (book_id serial PRIMARY KEY, title varchar(100));
ALTER TABLE tsearch_index ADD COLUMN idxFTI tsvector;
INSERT INTO book (title) VALUES ('Duck Tales');
INSERT INTO book (title) VALUES ('Jungle Book');

When I run your query:

test=# UPDATE tsearch_index SET idxFTI=to_tsvector('default',coalesce(SELECT
test(# title FROM book,''));
ERROR: syntax error at or near "SELECT" at character 64
LINE 1: ...earch_index SET idxFTI=to_tsvector('default',coalesce(SELECT

Any other suggestions?
