Comment:

 But it is really confuses. If reader knows SQL very well, he knows that
 there is big performance difference between LIKE, LIKE BINARY and ILIKE.

 And let's scroll down to regex section:

 ''
 regex
 .........
 Example:
 Entry.objects.get(title__regex=r'^(An?|The) +')

 SQL equivalents:
 SELECT ... WHERE title REGEXP BINARY '^(An?|The) +'; -- MySQL
 SELECT ... WHERE REGEXP_LIKE(title, '^(an?|the) +', 'c'); -- Oracle
 SELECT ... WHERE title ~ '^(An?|The) +'; -- PostgreSQL
 SELECT ... WHERE title REGEXP '^(An?|The) +'; -- SQLite
 ''

 We also see here "SQL equivalents" but for concrete backend.

 If you insist that current description is correct, I'd recommend add
 concrete examples for MySQL and PostgreSQL.
