All three following queries use only simple indexes (PK, name, lo, hi).
Query#1:
select * from tst where lo < 345678
intersect
select * from tst where hi > 123456
intersect
select * from tst where name = 'aaelj';
Query#2
select * from tst
join (
select rowid from tst where lo < 345678
intersect
select rowid from tst where hi > 123456
) as interval
on tst.rowid = interval.rowid and name = 'aaelj';
Query#3
select * from tst
join (
select rowid from tst where lo < 345678
intersect
select rowid from tst where hi > 123456
intersect
select rowid from tst where name = 'aaelj'
) as interval
on tst.rowid = interval.rowid;
On a 200K-row test table with random data, queries #2 and #3 were
essentially identical while #1 was twice slower (moving too much data
around, uselessly).
