Hello I am running on the fly a query to count the number of words starting with one of the 26 letters.
I am doing the usual SELECT COUNT(term) from dictionary WHERE normword LIKE "a%" (for the 26 letters) normword is the term normalized without accents and the like Is there any way to make this query faster? It is taking about 10 second for 140K entries. One idea is to add a column named 'letter' and SELECT COUNT(letter) from dictionary WHERE letter = 'a'. But are there other solutions?
