I am using oracle text for Arabic language.
I want to save the synonyms list in a database table, so the domain index read from this table, any idea ?
I found a solution :
1- I uploaded my synonyms list to a table called words( contains all the terms and their synonyms' IDs ) and master table called synset (contains synonyms)
2- create thesaurus :
begin
ctx_thes.create_thesaurus ('MyThesaurus');
end;
3- create a stored procedure to read from my table [words] and create relationship between synonyms:
create or replace procedure CreateSynonyms is
CURSOR syn_cur is select s.name_abstract,w.root,w.word_abstract
from p words w , synset s
where w.synset_id=s.synset_id and w.root<>s.name_abstract and w.word_abstract<> s.name_abstract
order by s.synset_id;
syn_rec syn_cur%rowtype;
BEGIN
OPEN syn_cur;
LOOP
FETCH syn_cur into syn_rec;
EXIT WHEN syn_cur%notfound;
begin
ctx_thes.create_relation ('MyThesurus', syn_rec.name_abstract, 'syn', syn_rec.word_abstract);
END LOOP;
END;
4- rewrite my query to select synonyms:
select /*+ FIRST_ROWS(1)*/ sentence_id,score(1) as sc, isn
where contains(PROCESSED_TEXT,'<query>
<textquery>
search for somthing here
<progression>
<seq><rewrite>transform((TOKENS, "{", "}", ","))</rewrite></seq>
<seq><rewrite>transform((TOKENS, "syn(", ",listing)", " , "))</rewrite>/seq>
</progression>
</textquery>
<score datatype="INTEGER" algorithm="COUNT"/></query>',1)>0
Hope this will help someone
