CREATE_LANG_DATA

Use the DBMS_VECTOR_CHAIN.CREATE_LANG_DATA chunker helper procedure to load your own language data file into the database.

Purpose

To create custom language data for your chosen language (specified using the language chunking parameter).

A language data file contains language-specific abbreviation tokens. You can supply this data to the chunker to help in accurately determining sentence boundaries of chunks, by using knowledge of the input language’s end-of-sentence (EOS) punctuations, abbreviations, and contextual rules.

Usage Notes

All supported languages are distributed with the default language-specific abbreviation dictionaries. You can create a language data based on the abbreviation tokens loaded in the schema.table.column, using a user-specified language data name (PREFERENCE_NAME).
After loading your language data, you can use language-specific chunking by specifying the language chunking parameter with VECTOR_CHUNKS or UTL_TO_CHUNKS.
You can query these data dictionary views to access existing language data:
- ALL_VECTOR_LANG displays all available languages data.
- USER_VECTOR_LANG displays languages data from the schema of the current user.
- ALL_VECTOR_ABBREV_TOKENS displays abbreviation tokens from all available language data.
- USER_VECTOR_ABBREV_TOKENS displays abbreviation tokens from the language data owned by the current user.

Syntax

DBMS_VECTOR_CHAIN.CREATE_LANG_DATA (
    PARAMS       IN JSON default NULL
);

PARAMS

Specify the input parameters in JSON format:

{
    table_name,
    column_name,
    language,
    preference_name
}
