Thread: Using LIKE expression problem..
Hi everybody..
Before anything else I would like to thank all those person who answers my previous question… again thank you very much
This is my question …
In my query .. Select * from table1 where lastname LIKE ‘PUNCIA%’..
In the query plan ..it uses seq scan rather than index scan .. why ? I have index on lastname, firtname…
Thanks

Yes , I already do that but the same result ..

Sorry .. I am a newbie and I don't know :(
How can I know that I am in C locale ?
How can I change my database to use C locale?

TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ?
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs/FAQ.html
Use the text_pattern_ops operator when creating the index, see: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/static/indexes-opclass.html Michael Ryan S. Puncia wrote: > Sorry ..
