Tuning the LIKE-clause

Tuning the LIKE-clause (by using reverse key indexes)

For tuning Like operator (like '%SON') is to create a REVERSE index - and then programmatically reverse the LIKE-clause to read LIKE 'NOS%'

Steps:

CREATE INDEX Cust_Name_reverese_idx
ON customer(Cust_Name) REVERSE;

2. Programmatically reverse the SQL LIKE-clause to read '%saliV%':

SELECT * FROM customer WHERE Cust_Name LIKE '%Vilas%'

New Query:

SELECT * FROM customer WHERE Cust_Name LIKE '%saliV%';
