I doubt it. GLOB is absolutely nothing more or less than an invokation of the same code for LIKE but with slightly different parameters. Except if people have made a completely differing version, departing from the architecture of the standard SQLite code (and there is little reason to, if any) AND have made LIKE and GLOB two completely distinct functions, there shouldn't be any significant difference in running time (for equivalent queries, of course). Also if ever LIKE is overloaded, then GLOB gets excluded from standard optimization, except large changes in SQLite code. _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
