id  movie_name      genre   rating
1   Green lantern   action  7.5

4   django          comedy  6.0

tv_serial

id  serial_name     genre   rating
1   game of throne  action  9.5
2   walking dead    horror  8.5
4   breaking bad    comedy  6.0

Now if I put any name starting with G in the search bar the list must show green lantern and game of throne. Just need the sql query to extract these data thank you.

To sound more generalized and to be helpful for others, this question is rephrased as: How to implement Trie in php where data is obtained from a mysql table?

Answer 1

Try following query :

SELECT movie_name as Name
FROM movie_table
WHERE movie_name like 'G%'
union all
SELECT serial_name as Name
FROM tv_serial
WHERE serial_name like 'G%'
