Testing a Parser

The ts_parse function allows direct testing of a text search parser.

ts_parse(parser_name text, document text,
         OUT tokid integer, OUT token text) returns setof record

ts_parse parses the given document and returns a series of records, one for each token produced by parsing. Each record includes a tokid showing the assigned token type and a token which is the text of the token. For example:

 1

 3
 4
 5
 6
 7

SELECT * FROM ts_parse('default', '123 - a number');
 tokid | token
-------+--------
    22 | 123
    12 |
    12 | -
     1 | a
    12 |
     1 | number

ts_token_type(parser_name text, OUT tokid integer,
              OUT alias text, OUT description text) returns setof record

ts_token_type returns a table which describes each type of token the specified parser can recognize. For each token type, the table gives the integer tokid that the parser uses to label a token of that type, the alias that names the token type in configuration commands, and a short description. For example:
