The '''zimwriterdb''' is a tool coded in C++ to create zim files. The articles for the files are read from a postgresql database. The schema for the database is [https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/gitweb?p=openzim.git;a=blob;f=zimwriter/db/zim-postgresql.sql;h=02e7bfe4d30f4d8abefeb374d1ff4f18d07f6a5c;hb=HEAD documented in the zimwriter source]. The current implementation has a abstraction for the data source, so that it will be possible to implement other data sources (as a replacement to the database) e.g. the file system. | The '''zimwriterdb''' is a tool coded in C++ to create zim files.

== Fulltext search index == | |||
The fulltext search, implemented in zimlib and used in zimreader, needs an index file. The index file is ZIM file with special articles in [[Namespace|namespace ''X'']]. The indexer, which creates that index file is implemented as a data source in zimwriter. It reads the articles from a zim file to create the full text index. To use it, pass -Z ''zimfile'' to the writer e.g. ''zimwriter -Z wikipedia-de.zim wikipedia-de-x.zim''. | |||
