> I have a query with a between operator on a non-indexed varchar(30) 
field – currently on FB 2.5 :

the resultset ( so I have to put other criteria e.g. and MYFIELD like 
'%/2017' )

e.g.
   WHERE MYFIELD SIMILAR TO 'AHH[0-9]{5}/2017'
         AND SUBSTRING(MYFIELD FROM 4 FOR 5) BETWEEN '00091' AND '00141'
