Dear all,

My customer need to query a electronics component database using part
numbers.

For example, if he key in KM16550, he should get records for KM16550,
KM16550N, KM16550A and KM16550AFN. To do this, it seems I must use a
LIKE statement "...where PartNo like :PartNo"

I know MySQL can use index in this case. but IB/FB cannot. If the
size of the db is about 100MB, will that query be very slow? Is there
other methods to overcome this?


Thanks.
Michael
