Jean-Christophe,
But did I say that GLOB uses an index if it has been overloaded? No. I
wrote that if LIKE has been overloaded, queries that contain LIKE won't use
the index. Typically, GLOB won't have been overridden too just because LIKE
has been overridden: the rationale for overriding the LIKE operator does not
apply equally to GLOB, and it would make little sense to override GLOB in a
manner that vitiates its raison d'être. You are conflating these two
functions ("... if LIKE/GLOB has been overridden... overloads LIKE/GLOB")
but in important respects they are dissimilar.

Tim Romano
