difference between a unique constraint and a unique index ???

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In order to get like queries to use an index with database initialized with a UTF-8 character set I added a unique index to a table with a varchar_pattern_ops

This table already had a unique constraint on the column so I dropped the unique constraint.

I can't give exact measurements however this caused my application to slow down considerably.

The only thing I can figure is that the varchar_pattern_ops operator is significantly slower ???

Is there some other piece of the puzzle to fill in ?
