SET_ATTRIBUTE

Sets a preference attribute. You use this procedure after you have created a preference with CTX_DDL.CREATE_PREFERENCE.

Syntax

ctx_ddl.set_attribute(preference_name in varchar2,  
                      attribute_name  in varchar2,  
                      attribute_value in varchar2); 

preference_name

Specify the name of the preference.

attribute_name

Specify the name of the attribute.

attribute_value

Specify the attribute value. You can specify boolean values as TRUE or FALSE, T or F, YES or NO, Y or N, or 1 or 0.

Example

Specifying File Data Storage

The following example creates a data storage preference called filepref that tells the system that the files to be indexed are stored in the operating system. The example then uses CTX_DDL.SET_ATTRIBUTE to set the PATH attribute to the directory /docs.

begin
ctx_ddl.create_preference('filepref', 'FILE_DATASTORE');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('filepref', 'PATH', '/docs'); 
end;
