I working with a table of about 70'000 records and I made 2 tests about
the optimisation of ~* :
With ~* :
----------
% time -p psql mayer98 -c "select * from artistes where nom ~* 'picasso';"
ref|nom |nom_court |type|nationalite
-----+----------------------------+-------------+----+-----------
76160|PICASSO Pablo, 1881-1973 |PICASSO | 0|E
76161|PICASSO Loulou, *1958 |PICASSOLoulou| 0|F
76162|(A) PICASSO Pablo, 1881-1973|PICASSOPablo | 6|E
(3 rows)
real 11.52 *
user 0.02
sys 0.01
With upper(...) and like upper(%...%)
--------------------------------------
% time -p psql mayer98 -c "select * from artistes where upper(nom) like
upper('%PICASSO%');"
ref|nom |nom_court |type|nationalite
-----+----------------------------+-------------+----+-----------
76160|PICASSO Pablo, 1881-1973 |PICASSO | 0|E
76161|PICASSO Loulou, *1958 |PICASSOLoulou| 0|F
76162|(A) PICASSO Pablo, 1881-1973|PICASSOPablo | 6|E
(3 rows)
real 4.44 *
user 0.03
sys 0.00
Relsult: it seem to be 2.6 time more optimised to use upper(...) like
upper('%...%') ???
