Postgres CJK Parser - pg_cjk_parser

Postgres CJK Parser pg_cjk_parser is a fts (full text search) parser derived from the default parser in PostgreSQL. When a postgres database uses utf-8 encoding, this parser supports all the features of the default parser while splitting CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) characters into 2-gram tokens. If the database's encoding is not utf-8, the parser behaves just like the default parser.

Now pg_cjk_parser supports PostgreSQL 12 to 16.

Introduction

It is not easy for text search parsers to split strings with CJK charatcters into words because in CJK languages, space is not word boundary. PostgreSQL's default parser treats CJK characters as a single word "Word, all letters". This is undesirable for CJK users.

The pg_cjk_parser extends the default parser by splitting CJK into 2-gram tokens while splitting other languages the way the default parser does.

Please note that CJK punctuations are treated as unigram and will not be part of any 2-gram CJK tokens.

Build

You can build pg_cjk_parser in a docker container.

  1. Clone this repository into your local computer, say in /home/user/pg_cjk_parser
  2. Ener /home/user/pg_cjk_parser
  3. Build the docker image postgres:12-dev

To build this extension for PostgreSQL 12

docker build -t postgres:12-dev . --build-arg POSTGRES_VERSION=12 -f Dockerfile_alpine

To build this extension for PostgreSQL 16

docker build -t postgres:16-dev . --build-arg POSTGRES_VERSION=16 -f Dockerfile_alpine

To build this extension for PostgreSQL 11

docker build -t postgres:11-dev . -f Dockerfile_pg11
  1. Run the following command
docker run -it --rm -v $(pwd):/root/code postgres:12-dev /bin/bash -c "cd /root/code && make clean && make"

Then pg_cjk_parser.bc and pg_cjk_parser.so will be available in current directory (/home/user/pg_cjk_parser). You can manually install the parser to a PostgreSQL instances or you can install it as an extension.

Installation

You can manually install pg_cjk_parser or you can install it as an extension.

Install as an extension

Let's say that you have an instance of PostgreSQL 12 running, either on a docker container on a server. Make sure you have the following dependencies installed.

# replace 12 with 16 if you build this extension for pg 16
sudo apt-get install -y postgresql-server-dev-12 
sudo apt-get install -y gcc
sudo apt-get install -y icu-devtools libicu-dev

If you are using other Linux distrubitions other than debian or ubuntu, you should replace "apt-get install -y" with corresponding commands.

Copy the following files

pg_cjk_parser.c pg_cjk_parser.control pg_cjk_parser--0.0.1.sql zht2zhs.h Makefile

to a directory on the server, say, /home/user/parser/

Run the following command on the server

cd /home/user/parser
make clean && make install
sudo make USE_PGXS=1 install

Connect to your server via pgAdmin or other clients and then execute the following sql to create the pg_cjk_parser extension.

CREATE EXTENSION pg_cjk_parser;

Then you should create a search configuration and make it default.

CREATE TEXT SEARCH PARSER public.pg_cjk_parser (
    START = prsd2_cjk_start,
    GETTOKEN = prsd2_cjk_nexttoken,
    END = prsd2_cjk_end,
    LEXTYPES = prsd2_cjk_lextype,
    HEADLINE = prsd2_cjk_headline);

CREATE TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION public.config_2_gram_cjk (
    PARSER = pg_cjk_parser
);

SET default_text_search_config = 'public.config_2_gram_cjk';

Now you can execute the sql demonstrated in the introduction section to see the results.

Docker image

There is a Dockerfile in this repository which helps you build a docker image based on postgres:12.

docker build -t postgres:12-dev . --build-arg POSTGRES_VERSION=12 -f Dockerfile_alpine

or you can build a docker image based on postgres:16.

docker build -t postgres:16-dev . --build-arg POSTGRES_VERSION=16 -f Dockerfile_alpine

or you can build a docker image based on postgres:11.

docker build -t postgres:11-dev . -f Dockerfile_pg11

If you use this image to start an instance of postgres:12, all you need to do is to create the extension, search parser and configuration in pgAdmin.

Connect to your server via pgAdmin or other clients and then execute the following sql to create the pg_cjk_parser extension.

CREATE EXTENSION pg_cjk_parser;

Then you should create a search configuration and make it default.

CREATE TEXT SEARCH PARSER public.pg_cjk_parser (
    START = prsd2_cjk_start,
    GETTOKEN = prsd2_cjk_nexttoken,
    END = prsd2_cjk_end,
    LEXTYPES = prsd2_cjk_lextype,
    HEADLINE = prsd2_cjk_headline);

CREATE TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION public.config_2_gram_cjk (
    PARSER = pg_cjk_parser
);

SET default_text_search_config = 'public.config_2_gram_cjk';

Now you can execute the sql demonstrated in the introduction section to see the results.

Install manually

Suppose you have an docker instance of postgres name postgres_db_1 whose image is postgres:12.

docker cp pg_cjk_parser.so postgres_db_1:/usr/lib/postgresql/12/lib/

Connect to the postgres instance via pgAdmin or other clients and then execute the following sql

CREATE FUNCTION public.prsd2_cjk_nexttoken(IN internal, IN internal, IN internal)
    RETURNS internal
    LANGUAGE 'c' STRICT
    
AS '$libdir/pg_cjk_parser.so', 'prsd2_nexttoken'
;

	
CREATE FUNCTION public.prsd2_cjk_end(IN internal)
    RETURNS void
    LANGUAGE 'c' STRICT
    
AS '$libdir/pg_cjk_parser.so', 'prsd2_end'
;

CREATE FUNCTION public.prsd2_cjk_lextype(IN internal)
    RETURNS internal
    LANGUAGE 'c' STRICT
    
AS '$libdir/pg_cjk_parser.so', 'prsd2_lextype'
;

	
CREATE FUNCTION public.prsd2_cjk_headline(IN internal, IN internal, IN tsquery)
    RETURNS internal
    LANGUAGE 'c' STRICT
    
AS '$libdir/pg_cjk_parser.so', 'prsd2_headline'
;

Then you should create a search configuration and make it default.

CREATE TEXT SEARCH PARSER public.pg_cjk_parser (
    START = prsd2_cjk_start,
    GETTOKEN = prsd2_cjk_nexttoken,
    END = prsd2_cjk_end,
    LEXTYPES = prsd2_cjk_lextype,
    HEADLINE = prsd2_cjk_headline);

CREATE TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION public.config_2_gram_cjk (
    PARSER = pg_cjk_parser
);

SET default_text_search_config = 'public.config_2_gram_cjk';

Now you can execute the sql demonstrated in the introduction section to see the results.

ALTER TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION public.config_2_gram_cjk
