Question

I’m trying to write a select statement for my autocomplete function(s). I want to take the prefix text from the given text box and pull the first 10 items who’s beginning characters matches the prefix. I could probably figure it out on my own, but its getting only the first 10 matches that loses me. Any solutions?

If you have the SQL working to pull the list back from the DB, just add “top 10” to the SQL… like

SELECT TOP 10 * 
FROM EMPLOYEE 
WHERE LName like 'Smi%'
