That is pretty much it. I need a .sql file with all the stock symbols and company names matched up for an autocomplete function I'm writing. ANYONE?

Well i dont know about a downloadable .sql file but there are numerous free and paid API's you could use to get the data for import into your db. Check out this similar questions for some options: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/885456/stock-ticker-symbol-lookup-api
I think i would go this route and maybe run a background process that does an update from the API every now and then so that you always have all the symbols up to date.

Take a look at the Company Fundamentals API at http://www.mergent.com/servius - should be pretty easy to extract the list from there.
