Ah. There you have a problem because internally SQLite does not handle language support within Unicode characters. I'm going to let someone with SQLite/Unicode expertise answer this one, but it may be that with Unicode even your LIKE command would not have worked properly and you should use something like SELECT * FROM emp WHERE substr(column_test,1,9) = 'somedata/' Which will slower because it will not be able to use an index for optimization. But it might be faster than the LIKE because using a regexp for matching seems likely to me to be slower than substr().
