Add mapping for regconfig data type

I am trying to utilize the tsvector_update_trigger_column trigger. This trigger requires a column of type regconfig which holds the language.

Is this column type supported?

I tried the following:

[Column(TypeName = "regconfig")]

public string Language { get; set; }


public NpgsqlTsVector SearchVector { get; set; }

Trigger example:

CREATE TRIGGER tsvectorupdate BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE ON \"Items\" FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE tsvector_update_trigger_column(\'SearchVector\', \'Language\', \'Title\');

When i try to update the item the following error is show: ERROR: column “Language” is of type regconfig but expression is of type text at character 183 HINT: You will need to rewrite or cast the expression.

Versions: Postgres 10.4 EF.Core 2.1.1 Npgsql.EntityFrameworkCore.PostgreSQL 2.1.1

A mapping was missing for the regconfig type, since full-text search is usually done without a column containing the configuration. I’ve added this missing mapping for the upcoming 2.1.2 release.

I think so, although I think this should be backported to 2.1.2, so it may be worth waiting until 4.0.3 is actually released and take a dependency on that. But if you want to go ahead that’s fine too, 2.1.2 can depend on 4.0.3-ci for now.
