I'm curious about the speed trade off between a full table scan and just a 
flat file search... Say I have a database with 20000 records in it. If I do 
a query like:

SELECT foo FROM table WHERE bar LIKE '%glaven%';

That will be a full text scan across the table. Would that be any faster 
than just a regexp against a flat text file? Obviously you get the 
advantages of SQL were it in a DB, versus a flat file. What other trade 
offs are there?

My experience the above, is that in SQLITE it's still incredibly fast.
