SET_KEY_TYPE

Use this procedure to set the CTX_DOC procedures to accept either the ROWID or the PRIMARY_KEY document identifiers. This setting affects the invoking session only.

Syntax

ctx_doc.set_key_type(key_type in varchar2);

key_type

Specify either ROWID or PRIMARY_KEY as the input key type (document identifier) for CTX_DOC procedures.

This parameter defaults to the value of the CTX_DOC_KEY_TYPE system parameter.

Note: When your base table has no primary key, setting key_type to PRIMARY_KEY is ignored. The textkey parameter you specify for any CTX_DOC procedure is interpreted as a ROWID.

Example

To set CTX_DOC procedures to accept primary key document identifiers, do the following:

begin
ctx_doc.set_key_type('PRIMARY_KEY');
end
