I am writing a .net application it contains database with some information about books
say table lke this

BooKID BookName BookCategeory Edition
54 computers Education 2nd
23 SportsStar Sports 1st
22 The Holy Bible Spirutual

Now i need to Search the books according to user interest
if user selects the SEARCH BY NAME and(also some Categeory) option to search.
i wrote command like this

select * from Books Where BookCategeory='Education' and BookName like
'sometext%'

in key_up event of TextBOX

is this is the right way to search if there are more no of records will it disgrade performance
because for every key press it will communicate with database
how far it is better
or I need to go for other

please suggest me

It will not be as fast as the original query because the query can not optimize an index to use.
Depending on the number of records, the end result can vary from 1/10th of a second to several second.

do a google search for "Autocomplete dropdown list".
You will return your data ALL at once, but display just what the user wants to see.
