Interesting it works now, and the good news is it is *WAY* faster, this
might be able to speed up marc's doc search by orders of magnitude

this is searching 100536 rows

 select * from url where fn_strrev(url) like fn_strrev('%beta12.html');
1.57ms


explain select * from url where url like '%beta12.html';
 3310.38 ms
