As someone else has posted more background is needed to give advice on
tuning, however you appear to be converting the first and last names to
upper case then comparing against a lower case string. Is this just a typo
in your post? Also I don't know the logic behind what you are trying to
achieve but are you sure you don't want to bracket off the 'or' part of the
where clause?
