[ZODB-Dev] grab zodb dict keys by search term

[Tamer Higazi]

Hi people!

I am working a lot with IOB and OOB Trees as well with PersistentDict 
and PersistentList to store my Data in ZODB.
I want to ask if there is a way to grab data from a dataset by search time.

I know only the SQL way:

select lower(COL1) from table1 where COL1 LIKE 'aa%'

so usually I want to get the entryies only that starts with 'aa'

do I have to iterate the entire dict with an interator or are there 
builtin functions that could accomplish those tasks for me ?!


I would kindly thank you
