[Rails] Re: Using LIKE

2009-03-13 Thread Maurício Linhares
Likes are always slow if you must do a suffix match ( %something ), as no index can handle that. But if you're doing a prefix match ( something% ) it won't be that bad. And there's no how big is big. You can have a slow app with a thousand rows and a hundred queries per second, and you can have
