I think there's cause for excitement, because unless I'm interpreting you
incorrectly, it IS easy to do what you want to do:
Use the UNION functionality. If your table T is this
id name description------------------------- 1 abc def 2 bcd abc 3 def ghi 4 jkl
bcd 5 hij hij
And you do this:
SELECT id FROM T WHERE name = 'abc' UNION SELECT id FROM T WHERE desc = 'abc';
You'll get:
id ---- 1 2
That ought to do it for you!
Hope this helps,
