    Hello,

    in Postgresql 9.6 we have a query running on a very large table
    based, in some cases, on a like statement:

    ... WHERE FIELD='CODE' OR FIELD LIKE 'CODE_%'

    Which type of index can i create to speed to the search when the
    "like" case happens?


​GIST​

For prefix queries, it's also possible to use simple btree index with varchar_pattern_ops.
