Query for searching the name alphabetically

Question

I have used the LIKE condition, but it required me to enter the full name into the database to find the name.

WhiteFang34 also said you need to iterate. But also you need to change to WHERE clause:

"SELECT * FROM FAMILYcensus WHERE Name > '"+ tfsearch.getText()+"' ORDER BY Name ASC LIMIT "+MAXRESULTS;

Note that limiting the number of results is a good idea here.
