Hello,
I'm not sure if I use the index for a case-insensitive search the right
way. It is a table with about 45000 records, pers_id is the primary key,
pers_nachname is a character varying which should have an case-insensitive
index.
EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM kundepersonhc WHERE pers_id=42612;
says that the index for the primary key is used
EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM kundepersonhc WHERE UPPER(pers_nachname) LIKE
UPPER('me%');
says that a seq scan is done.
I used this statement to define the index:
CREATE INDEX kundepersonhc_upper_pers_nachname ON kundepersonhc
(UPPER(pers_nachname));
What did you wrong here?
Regards,
Verena
