Hello, Thanks
The grep regex on the text file found around 10,000 lines over 5 minutes (out of a total possible 200,000 rows), at which time I stopped it, interesting experiment anyway :-) Using OR instead of UNION in Mysql is definitely slower, although maybe, as someone has mentioned above, the Sqlite optimizer works better with OR. Will try that next.
