Hi, When I search some words into a varchar column and this column has an index. Does Postgres use index??
The search is done this way: create table tb_gen_person ( pes_nro_doc numeric(14) not null, pes_name varchar(150) not null, constraint pk_person PRIMARY KEY(pes_nro_doc) ); create index ix_person_01 on tb_gen_person (pes_name); select * from tb_gen_person where pes_name like '%albert%'; Not considering upper case, or tsearch2, this type of search use index somehow? I overhear that if the search has more than 5 characters, probably would use index!! Is this true?
