>My tests showed, much to my surprise, that LIKE was not optimized.
Our tests showed partial optimization for LIKE clause and full optimization for =. Now, I thought I read somewhere that VFP 9 has full optimizable LIKE, but I don't remember, where I read it, so do not know, if it's true.
I used SET ANSI OFF in order to use =, but I belive, it makes now everything not generic, since other back-ends use ANSI ON. So, it looks like I have to use LIKE clause if I want to easy switch back-end.
What do you think about this?
Thanks in advance.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
