Install InterMedia Text Thesaurus

If you know how to install and/or reinstall the default thesaurus for Intermedia Text on 8.1.6, please share with me.

I've done several successful installs (at least no errors) of 8.1.6 with the InterMedia Text Option enabled. We've got an 8.1.6 DB on Win2k containing a large partitioned table with an InterMedia index on a CLOB column. It's all working fine - we've been doing CONTAINS searches for several months.

While investigating why our ABOUT query results don't seem very good, I used the CTX_THES package and got the error message: "DRG-11702: thesaurus DEFAULT does not exist". A query of CTX_THESAURI returns no rows, as does a query of CTX_USER_THESAURI. Looking in the InterMedia Text Manager shows no Thesauri either and the option to import/export is greyed out.

The docs don't say much except that you can load your own thesaurus with ctxload - they don't say how to load or reload the default thesaurus. I guess it should have been done during database creation, but I can't find anything that looks like the default thesaurus, except for a couple of little files in the ORA81\ctx\samples\thes directory.

Anybody know where the default thesaurus file is?

Thanks.

Jack
