Re: LIKE CLAUSE on VIEWS

Hi Aditya,

If you share your view's query and the query you run against the view, it
would help all of us to understand better.

pg_trgm would be the life saver option for you, of course if you created it
on the right column, with the right expression, and by using the right
indexing method. It doesn't mean you can't use any index and indexes won't
be used because it is a view, well, if you do it right.

Best regards.
