    SQL question with Autocomplete functionality

    Hi,

    I'm working on a little autocomplete functionality with the AJAX
    toolkit. I like to the following,

    Take the following 2 SQLs
    SELECT NAME FROM COUNTRIES WHERE NAME LIKE '%TORONTO%' (would return
    false)
    SELECT NAME FROM CITIES WHERE NAME LIKE '%TORONTO%' (would return
    true)

    I like to have a stored procedure that does this. How do you write the
    IF condition. Bascially I want it to first check the countries table
    and if not matches there , next go to the CITIES table and check it
    there? or is there a way to check both tables at once and return only
    a single resultset combining both matches in COUNTRIES and CITIES
    table? (in a single column 'Name'?)

    Thank you
    M.
