Hello all, I am looking to search in a progressive manner. For example:

Select ID, Name, State, Country From SearchDatabase
Where
(ID = 101 AND Name = 'Jay' AND State = 'CA' AND Country = 'USA') OR
(Name = 'Jay' AND State = 'CA' AND Country = 'USA') OR
(State = 'CA' AND Country = 'USA') OR
(Country = 'USA')

Now I have record with will match the first condition right off the bat but then I dont want to go to the other 3 conditions if I find a match for the one above. So its progressive. If I dont find any for first then goto 2nd then if nothing for 2nd then 3rd else stop at 2nd.

Thanks
