The View is a runtime object, so no real performance improvement, in my opinion.

Subject: Re: Better SQL performance than SUBSTRING

I've never done this for performance reasons and this is just a WAG, but what about creating a view that includes a new field that is a substring per your example? It would still be a substring, but would performance be better since it's defined in a view?

I know that a LIKE performs better than a SUBSTRING in a SQL WHERE
clause. Is there a better option than a SUBSTRING for checking
specific positions in a column?

Given MY_TABLE with MY_COLUMN defined as char(12) and this query:
Select *
From MY_TABLE
Where substring(MY_COLUMN, 5, 6) = '123456';

Is there an alternative to SUBSTRING that will perform better?
