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,
