Thanks Joe - changing the query to *belongs *did the trick although the
query is still very slow when the list is long - but I'm not sure if that's

Niphlod - f_postcode is of type text and result is a list of strings (e.g.
['W1 2TR', 'SW1 5AB'
you can use contains for 'text' fields if you want it turned to a LIKE

db.mytable.myfield.like(%joe%).
