Hi, I am using Next.js for my front end, Node.js for backend, and a postgres MySQL db.

Goal: I have a db table of usernames. As a user types a name, I want to get results from the db and autocomplete the names from the db. This is common in applications but I can't find any resources on how to do this, any help?

you need some kind of ORM like drizzle or prisma to connect to database and query data.

Yeah, I used both Dizzle and Prisma. I think they're both great. Used mysql with prisma and drizzle with SQLite. I dont know if its against the policy to share links, but in youtube you'll see lots of tutorials: nextjs + prisma or nextjs + drizzle
