Hi, I am a new user to sqlite3, I have a program that searches through a database. I have a table with 1 column as varchar and I want to perform a search on it. I have created an index over that column. And I use a select query with "column_name LIKE 'a%' ". So my first question is will this query use the index created or not?
And if it does then , according to my understanding select query like above will directly locate records starting with 'a' and results will be returned. And if I change my query to have "column_name LIKE 'ab%' " will take more time then previous because sqlite3 will have to perform strcmp of some sort to find results. But the results that I have observed , it seems that 2nd query takes less time than first one. And if it doesn't then, how do I make use of index with LIKE queries. Thanks a lot in Advance.
