> However, I don't think it's necessary to solve this problem. Just don't try to optimize it. Whoever is doing the programming knows that pattern matching is slow. If they want a fast solution they'll use BETWEEN instead. And that will make them have to provide their own comparison strings. It looks like you are now talking to Dr. Hipp.
Because we - application programmers - will eventually have to do the optimization; the users will tell us when they are frustrated from the waiting. And whether we'll call it "LIKE optimization" or "using BETWEEN", the problem remains basically the same. -- View this message in context: http://sqlite.1065341.n5.nabble.com/LIKE-operator-and-collations-tp73789p75624.html Sent from the SQLite mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
