I need to know which would be feasible in 10g.


select  distinct(CPR_ID)  from CPR_TBL where REGEXP_LIKE(CPR_ID,'[J|M]*.zip$')


SELECT Distinct (CP_ID) from CPR_TBL WHERE ( CPR_ID like 'J%.zip' or  CPR_ID like 'M%.zip')


Please kindly let me know if anything found wrong.


Regards,
Oli

There are not equivalent.
SQL> with CPR_TBL as (select 'AJ1.zip' CPR_ID from dual)
  2  select  distinct(CPR_ID)  from CPR_TBL where REGEXP_LIKE(CPR_ID,'[J|M]*.zip$')
  3  /
CPR_ID
-------
AJ1.zip

1 row selected.

SQL> with CPR_TBL as (select 'AJ1.zip' CPR_ID from dual)
  2  select  distinct(CPR_ID)  from CPR_TBL where ( CPR_ID like 'J%.zip' or  CPR_ID like 'M%.zip')
  3  /

no rows selected

And they don't return the same column.

Thanks for pointing out the mistake.
I need to know which would be feasible in 10g. Will both queries give same performance?



select  distinct(CPR_ID)  from CPR_TBL where REGEXP_LIKE(CPR_ID,'^[J|M]*.zip$')
/





select  distinct(CPR_ID)  from CPR_TBL where ( CPR_ID like 'J%.zip' or  CPR_ID like 'M%.zip')
/

The classical one is better as it allows to use standard index.
In addition regexp functions have very bad performances in 10g.
