Hi Michael,

Thanks for your answer, I tried all of your queries, and here are the results:
- ISNULL vs COALESCE - no measurable difference
- Temp table solution. Worked fast, but the problem is the temp table is filled with 10 records starting with a T, but they can be Tabasco, but also Tu.... The ORDER BY is perfromed on this 'random' choosen top 10 cities that start with a T. So it doesn't work. The order has to be performed on the main SELECT query anyway.
- UNION solution - worked very very fast. Made me very happy, but misses a feature of the join, namely: when the city Paris is translated to Dutch as Parijs (note the extra J), both records will show up by with a search of LIKE 'Pari%', while I want that when a record is translated, only the translated record should show up (the join takes care of that in the original select).

I hope you can help me with the pitfalls in the solutions, because they do have a clear speed advantage.

Otherwise i will just have to go for the last solution. "develop a table that contained all city names (normal and localized) with a Foreign Key back to the City table"
