在全文检索没有出来之前,普通的文件检索都是采用的like,~,或者ilike来匹配文档字段中内容,这种检索方法对小数据量的文本检索是OK的,但数据量大了就不行了。
普通检索的劣势:
1.语言不能完全支持,哪怕是英文,比如检索friend时不能检索出friends或者friendly
2.检索出的结果排序功能不好
3.缺少索引支持,查询速度慢,特别是两头加了两个%时根本就不走索引
PostgreSQL在8.3.x版本后开始支持全文检索。执行步骤,主要分三步走:
1.将文档分词(parsing documents into tokens)
2.转换分词规则(converting tokens into lexemes),如去掉复数后缀s/es,以及加入stop词,使之不会在分词中出现,如常用的'的'
3.按一定顺序查询的优化方式存储(storing preprocessed documents optimized for searching) tsvector存储,使用tsquery查询
注:这里tokes是原始的拆分分词,可能包含常用的无意义的词,lexemes是加工过的有价值的分词

二、实际例子,以英文例子为例
postgres=# SELECT 'a fat cat sat on a mat and ate a fat rat'::tsvector @@ 'cat & rat'::tsquery as search;
search
--------
t
(1 row)
postgres=# SELECT 'fat & cow'::tsquery @@ 'a fat cat sat on a mat and ate a fat rat'::tsvector as search;
search
--------
f
(1 row)
postgres=# SELECT to_tsvector('fat cats ate fat rats') @@ to_tsquery('fat & rat') as search;
search
--------
t
(1 row)
postgres=# SELECT 'fat cats ate fat rats'::tsvector @@ to_tsquery('fat & rat') as search;
search
--------
f
(1 row)
--默认的english分词,to_tevector区别于::tsvector是前者会加工分词,后者默认是加工好了
postgres=# SELECT to_tsvector('english','fat cats ate fat rats') @@ to_tsquery('english','fat & rat') as search;
search
--------
t
(1 row)
--plainto_tsquery不却分分隔符,权重标签
postgres=# SELECT plainto_tsquery('english', 'The Fat & Rats:C');
plainto_tsquery
---------------------
'fat' & 'rat' & 'c'
(1 行记录)
--分词之间不会区分分隔符,每个分词之间插入&;,::tsquery和to_tsquery则必须要用到
postgres=# SELECT plainto_tsquery('english', 'The Fat Rats');
plainto_tsquery
-----------------
'fat' & 'rat'
(1 行记录)
postgres=# SELECT 'The & Fat & Rats'::tsquery;
tsquery
------------------------
'The' & 'Fat' & 'Rats'
(1 行记录)
postgres=# SELECT to_tsquery('english', 'The & Fat & Rats');
to_tsquery
---------------
'fat' & 'rat'
(1 行记录)
三、对全文检索建立索引
有两种办法,一种是对当前文档字段加内置的转换函数,然后建索引,另一种办法是新增一个字段,然后更新原文档内容(需建立触发器和函数转换)上建立索引。推荐后一个。
方法1.原字段上建索引
CREATE INDEX pgweb_idx ON pgweb USING gin(to_tsvector('english', body));
CREATE INDEX pgweb_idx ON pgweb USING gin(to_tsvector(config_name, body)); --组合索引,config_name是表pgweb的一个字段
CREATE INDEX pgweb_idx ON pgweb USING gin(to_tsvector('english', title || ' ' || body));
方法2.新增一列转换后建索引
ALTER TABLE pgweb ADD COLUMN textsearchable_index_col tsvector; --新建字段列类型是tsvector
UPDATE pgweb SET textsearchable_index_col = to_tsvector('english', coalesce(title,'') || ' ' || coalesce(body,'')); CREATE INDEX textsearch_idx ON pgweb USING gin(textsearchable_index_col);
SELECT title FROM pgweb WHERE textsearchable_index_col @@ to_tsquery('create & table') ORDER BY last_mod_date DESC LIMIT 10;
说明:
a.新增字段建的索引还需要创建一个触发器来实时更新新建字段内容
b.表达式索引的优点是简单,占用的空间少,缺点是每次执行需要调用to_tsvector函数来确保索引值关联
c.新建字段索引的有点是查询的速度快(无需每次去调用to_tsvevtor),尤其是使用Gist索引的时候。缺点是新建一个单独的列,消耗更多的存储空间。
四、内置实用函数示例
诸如to_tsvector,to_tsquery,tsvector_update_trigger,tsvector_update_trigger_column,ts_stat等等
--tsvector_update_trigger示例
CREATE TABLE messages (
title text,
body text,
tsv tsvector
);
CREATE TRIGGER tsvectorupdate BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE
ON messages FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE
tsvector_update_trigger(tsv, 'pg_catalog.english', title, body);
INSERT INTO messages VALUES('title here','the body text is here');
postgres=# select * from messages;
title | body | tsv
------------+-----------------------+----------------------------
title here | the body text is here | 'bodi':4 'text':5 'titl':1
(1 row)
postgres=# SELECT title, body FROM messages WHERE tsv @@ to_tsquery('title & body');
title | body
------------+-----------------------
title here | the body text is here
(1 row)
--ts_stat的使用
--寻找文档中出现词汇的排序
-- nentry是总的出现次数
-- ndoc是文档中(tsvector)出现的次数,重复的记为1次
postgres=# select * from messages;
title | body | tsv
----------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
title here | the body text is here | 'bodi':4 'text':5 'titl':1
kenyon | a chinese boy | 'boy':4 'chines':3 'kenyon':1
Andy Roddick retired | Andy Roddick retired,a former rank number 1 player in tennis | '1':11 'andi':1,4 'former':8 'number':10 'player':12 'rank':9 'retir':3,6 'roddick':2,5 'tenni':14
kenyon retired | kenyon retired,a open-source lover,inserting in this area | 'area':13 'insert':10 'kenyon':1,3 'lover':9 'open':7 'open-sourc':6 'retir':2,4 'sourc':8
Michael Jordan | MJ is an American former professional basketball player | 'american':6 'basketbal':9 'former':7 'jordan':2 'michael':1 'mj':3 'player':10 'profession':8
(5 rows)
postgres=# SELECT * FROM ts_stat('SELECT tsv FROM messages') ORDER BY nentry DESC, ndoc DESC, word LIMIT 10;
word | ndoc | nentry
-----------+------+--------
retir | 2 | 4
kenyon | 2 | 3
former | 2 | 2
player | 2 | 2
andi | 1 | 2
roddick | 1 | 2
1 | 1 | 1

五、全文检索的限制
1.The length of each lexeme must be less than 2K bytes
2.The length of a tsvector (lexemes + positions) must be less than 1 megabyte
3.The number of lexemes must be less than 264
4.Position values in tsvector must be greater than 0 and no more than 16,383 No more than 256 positions per lexeme 5.The number of nodes (lexemes + operators) in a tsquery must be less than 32,768
六、总结:
以上是PostgreSQL内置的全文检索的环境和实际使用例子,目前对中文的全文检索并不支持,但已经有比较好的第三方工具结合使用,下一篇继续PostgreSQL中文全文检索环境搭建和实际使用。
