Hello list, So, I have a small query design issue and I'd like to borrow some of your wisdom. Let's say I a users relation, and each user has a reversed_domain field. id | name | reversed_domain 1 Josh com.app ... I then have a firefox plugin which makes request to my application server, sending along the current URL the user is browsing. Let's say the URL is "http://mycompany.app.com/login". The code on the app takes this data and: 1) Extracts the domain out of it; 2) Reverses the domain We then get the following string as a result: "com.app.mycompany". I then want to find the user Josh, by reversed_domain. However, as you can see, the strings are different, and in most cases will be. I just want it to match the first two parts of the domain (com.app). The following query works: SELECT * FROM users WHERE 'com.app.mycompany' LIKE reversed_domain || % However, it does sequential search, meaning it doesn't use any index. What I would like to know is, how could I make it use an index? I've done some research and asked around #postgres but things are still not clear to me. Some good souls hinted me at the prefix extension, but how would I use it? Is there any other simpler / extension-free way to solve this issue? Thanks in advance, Marcelo.
