find without pathname
How can I get the results of a find back without the pathname

find ../../ -name \*.sql

i dont want to see

directory/directory/filename.sql

I only want to see filename.sql

Cheers perdarbo. This seems to work.

What exactly is this doing? Are there any shortfalls?

There are no "shortfalls" that I know of. As far as I know, it is right on the mark.
