Because there is no optimization built in, that notices, that your
string does not contain a wildcard and would translate the restriction
correspondingly. It is currently executed more or less like below:
(I3.nameInfluence >= 'inf_vitesse' and I3.nameInfluence < 'inf_vitessf'
and I3.nameInfluence LIKE 'inf_vitesse')
I already wanted to try to add this optimization myself, but lacked the time so far.
Anybody want to volunteer ?
