[google-appengine] Re: "like" operator in GQL

Indeed, the general imperative for scalability in App Engine is at odds with possible queries that would result in table scans. You may read more on the topic from the accepted reply to the *"Google App Engine: Is it possible to do a Gql LIKE query?"* question

[google-appengine] Re: "like" operator in GQL

This kind of query worked but i imagine this breaks the whole "Cloud Datastore reads scale because the only queries supported are those whose performance scales with the size of the result set (as opposed to the data set)" concept. So doesn't that decrease the value of using Datastore at the fir

Re: [google-appengine] Re: "like" operator in GQL

If I had to implement something like GQL "like" I think I would try to build many queries or a method like GQL IN without the limitations GQL IN has. I think non-rel db:s handles one problem much better: Everything from a HTTP request is a string like a parameter representing a boolean value must h

there are many differences between traditional relational databases (like mysql) versus non-relational databases, aka nosql (like gae's datastore) but yes, "Full-text search over Datastore" is coming really soon App Engine Product Roadmap http://code.google.com/intl/en/appengine/docs/roadmap.html

Re: [google-appengine] Re: "like" operator in GQL

Depending on your use case you might want to stick with google search i.e. adding the google search box via adsense while waiting for google to offer the full-text search functionality we require. Regards, Nick Rosencrantz -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google G

[google-appengine] Re: "like" operator in GQL

It's not exactly like the LIKE statement, but this should work in a similar fashion and return similar results for a LIKE 'abc%' select * from MyEntity where myField >= 'abc' and myField < 'abd' On Sep 25, 11:55 am, Bruce Aloe wrote: > Hello, > > SQL supports "like" operator. I am wondering whet
