for a Snowball-based dictionary. Other parameters remain unchanged.
</p><pre class="programlisting">ALTER TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY my_dict ( StopWords = newrussian );</pre><p> The following example command changes the language option to <code class="literal">dutch</code>,
and removes the stopword option entirely.
</p><pre class="programlisting">ALTER TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY my_dict ( language = dutch, StopWords );</pre><p> The following example command <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">updates</span>”</span> the dictionary's
definition without actually changing anything.
</p><pre class="programlisting">ALTER TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY my_dict ( dummy );</pre><p>
(The reason this works is that the option removal code doesn't complain
if there is no such option.) This trick is useful when changing
configuration files for the dictionary: the <code class="command">ALTER</code> will
force existing database sessions to re-read the configuration files,
which otherwise they would never do if they had read them earlier.
