>
>
> Hi All,
> I'd like to "compress" the following two filter expressions into one -
> assuming that it makes sense regarding query execution performance.
>
> ... where (adate LIKE "2004.01.10 __:30" or adate LIKE
> "2004.01.10 __:15")
> ...
>
> into something like this:
>
> ... where adate LIKE "2004.01.10 __:(30/15)" ...
>
> which means that I need only those rows which has an "adate"
> field holding
> dates on 2004.01.10 every 30 or 15 minutes at the end. Is it
> possible to use
> some regular expressions or is it worth at all talking about?
