RE: Oracle Text (ConText/InterMedia) and realtime updates

I would suggest researching an Autonomous Transaction fired from the trigger to get around the commit executed by CTX_DDL.SYNC_INDEX.

Another approach I would pursue is to evaluate the use of Catalog Indexes (8.1.7).  If your requirements fit within the catalog index limitations (more like an Intermedia Text-lite) then you are in luck since they are transactional, hence no need for periodic synchronization.

Subject: Oracle Text (ConText/InterMedia) and realtime updates

Hey all,

So, there we are, testing out InterMedia in 8i, in the hopes of using Oracle

Text in 9i.  Is there a way to automagically update the context index

real-time?  I tried a call to CTX_DDL.SYNC_INDEX in a trigger body, but of

course the wrapped procedure does a COMMIT.

The idea right now is to sync the index every minute via DBMS_JOB, but that

just seems too hokey to me.  Apparently, under ConText in Oracle7, the

INT_RX procedure could be used in a trigger, but it's been desupported.

(I'm guessing that locking was an issue?)

Anyone have any ideas?

TIA!
