I don't often disagree with Dennis but I suspect he may be wrong on this one.

From what the OP said, the program would read each record and then run the %scan/regex against the record. That means every record would have to be surfaced in the program. Using SQL it will only surface those that match the selection criteria - surely that has to be faster unless a very high percentage of the records are hits.

While the SQL suggestion is an option, it is likely to add to your
run time. But (like all performance topics) it depends on what else is
happening in your code.
