Hi,

In past attempts at improving query performance these have been added to encourage it to use an index that it can do a SCAN thru' rather than the table that it would need to do a SEARCH thru'.

SQLite is not using the PRIMARY INDEX to immediately locate the appropriate row, but is actually faster when you fake it into using a longer index ? That's weird.

There is more than one row returned. Potentially several million.

...so it's quicker to do a linear scan thru' something that's in the same order (table or index) rather than a series of tree accesses for each and every row.



Best wishes,
@ndy
