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,
