## NAME
       CREATE_TEXT_SEARCH_CONFIGURATION - define a new text search configuration

## SYNOPSIS
       CREATE TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION _name_ (
           PARSER = _parser_name_ |
           COPY = _source_config_
       )

## DESCRIPTION
       **CREATE** **TEXT** **SEARCH** **CONFIGURATION** creates a new text search configuration. A text search
       configuration specifies a text search parser that can divide a string into tokens, plus
       dictionaries that can be used to determine which tokens are of interest for searching.

       If only the parser is specified, then the new text search configuration initially has no
       mappings from token types to dictionaries, and therefore will ignore all words. Subsequent
       **ALTER** **TEXT** **SEARCH** **CONFIGURATION** commands must be used to create mappings to make the
       configuration useful. Alternatively, an existing text search configuration can be copied.

       If a schema name is given then the text search configuration is created in the specified
       schema. Otherwise it is created in the current schema.

       The user who defines a text search configuration becomes its owner.

       Refer to Chapter 12 for further information.

## PARAMETERS
       _name_
           The name of the text search configuration to be created. The name can be
           schema-qualified.

       _parser_name_
           The name of the text search parser to use for this configuration.

       _source_config_
           The name of an existing text search configuration to copy.

## NOTES
       The PARSER and COPY options are mutually exclusive, because when an existing configuration is
       copied, its parser selection is copied too.

## COMPATIBILITY
       There is no **CREATE** **TEXT** **SEARCH** **CONFIGURATION** statement in the SQL standard.
