The etx_ReturnType data type

The data type etx_ReturnType is a named row type defined by the module as follows:

CREATE ROW TYPE etx_ReturnType
(
   score             REAL,
   hilite_info            etx_InternalHilite
);

The etx_ReturnType data type is the data type of the optional statement local variable (SLV) of the etx_contains() operator. Use the SLV in a SELECT statement to obtain scoring information about the returned document or to pass internal highlighting information to the etx_GetHilite() routine. The following example shows a typical use of SLVs:

SELECT rc1.score, title FROM reports
    WHERE etx_contains (abstract, 
       Row('video'), rc1 # etx_ReturnType)
    AND doc_no > 1005
    ORDER BY 1;
