However, this particular use of LIKE ... > SELECT * FROM ATable WHERE AColumn LIKE :SearchString || '%' is really just a call to BETWEEN: SELECT * FROM ATable WHERE AColumn BETWEEN :SearchString AND :SearchString||'zzzzzzzzzzzz' And BETWEEN translates into >= and <=. And those /will/ use the index. So implementing a 'greek soundex' function as a collation would be useful, if this is the only use you need to make of LIKE.
