See Also

DB_TSINDEX, INDEX, KEY(), LOWER(), NDX(), SET INDEX, SET ORDER, TSPOS(), TSWORD(), UPPER()

Description

The SET TSLENGTH set command determines the size of Text Search Index keys. The default is 32 characters. The value to set is specified in <expN>. Smaller keys may result in inaccurate searches if the data is truncated.

The actual stored key value will be 10 bytes larger than the TSLENGTH to allow for additional text search information in the key.

The UPPER() or LOWER() functions can be used when creating indexes and when conducting index searches to make them case-insensitive.

The DB_TSINDEX environment variable / symbol must be set to "ON" when building or using Text Search Indexes.

Example

set tslength to 15
use example
index on tsword(first_name,1) to shortname
