Subject: PostgesSQL equivalent of the Oracle 'contains' operator
Date: Fri, 10 Nov 2006 11:10:22 -0500
Message-ID: <4554A46E.5020201@marine.rutgers.edu> (raw)
I'm beginning a port of an Oracle application to PostgrSQL. One
immediate issue is the use of the Oracle 'contains' operator to do
whole word searches on table rows that contain blank separated lists of
names. I was told that the original application was written using the
'like' operator but the contains operator was found to be much faster.
Is there a PostgreSQL equivalent for this type of use of the Oracle
contains?
Thanks,
