Two questions

first,....suppose, in the original example, all the user entered was 'NY' into the state textbox, and leaves all the other ones blank.

And let's even say that you're asking the user if they want a complete search, or 'begins with', or 'contains'....and that the user selects 'complete search'.

Am I correct in saying that you'd construct the following query...

"select firstName, lastname, Address, city, State, Zip from customers where state = 'NY'"


Second, suppose the user says 'exact match....state....NY'....and then 'contains....address....BLVD'. Am I correct in saying that you'd construct the following query and execute it?

"select firstName, lastname, Address, city, State, Zip from customers where state = 'NY' and address like '%BLVD%' "


Let me know if those are the two queries you'd construct, or if you'd do it differently.

Thanks,
Kevin
