[Phpmyadmin-devel] about LIKE '%...%'

[Marc Delisle]

Hi,

We got some negative reports about putting this operator first in the 
list. Concerns are about performance (wildcard being slower, and in
case of monster tables, slower meant > 45 min.).

Before those reports, I was finding that putting LIKE '%...%' first
was quite useful, as I almost always put the % manually for any search
I do.

I suggest for the next -rc to put back LIKE in the first position, 
followed by LIKE %...%.

We could also move the list of operators from tbl_select.php to config,
but this would probably be too much.

Comments?
