Given a table named ‘person’ (in a MySQL database/schema), kind of like this one:

code varchar(25)   lastname varchar(25)   firstname varchar(25)

I’m trying to make a stored function to receive ‘code’ or a part of ‘code’ (which of course, is the code that identifies that person) and return a ‘list’ of suggestions of persons that have a similar code.

What I’m not sure is how to search like in an auto complete kind of way, returning all possible results (or just five); and also how to return this ‘list’ of persons from the stored procedure.

Any idea how I could do this?, Thanks!

  1. You can use wild cards in SQL. Is this what you are looking for?

    SELECT * FROM person WHERE code LIKE '%part_of_code%'
