      From: jmose@mapson.attglobal.net              Anders              >I'm not sure but will a search like that ever be able to take advantage       of       >an index?              But, it will only go through all the rows of the index, not the base table.        At one client, Customer.db is 650kb but Customer.XG1 is only 66kb. 10 times       smaller should be 10 times faster, or more since I'm not getting network       retries.                     >If your search had been for "Jim.." it would have been a different story                     Right, but I didn't want to force my users to enter data a specific way -       'Jim Moseley' or 'Moseley, Jim' or whatever. Also, it helps them if they       can't remember how to spell, ie. 'McGuire' 'Maguire' 'MacGuire' can all be       found with '..guire..'.              Thanks,       Jim Moseley              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
