How to implement a specific parser (Chinese) for PostgreSQL full text search in Django?

Question

I want to implement PostgreSQL full text search in Django 4.0. for Chinese language. The question already arise in 2010 but there wasn't any suitable solution and they had to move to SQL Server.

In 2015 a PostgreSQL extension for full-text search of Chinese appeared (here). Is it possible to implement that parser using Django? Any reference/pointers on how to do it really appreciated.

Answer 1

A PostgreSQL FTS parser must be written in something which can be compiled to a shared object file. Practically, I think that means either C or C++. Certainly not Django, which is not a programming language at all but rather a framework library.

Now you should be able to install that extension you linked to, then use the extension from Django. That is what extensions are for, they separate the creation from the use.
