Sometimes I have to get additional data for a set of ids, the usual select of
select whatever from sometable where id in (1,2,3,4,5) Next level is, [1,2,3,4,5] is a Collection in Python (List, Tuple, Set) to transcribe it as cs.execute("select whatever from sometable where id in (%(pyeles)s)", dict(pyeles=[1,2,3,4,5])) obviously does not work. within PostgreSQL and psycopg2 I can write: cs.execute("""select name from kundentable where id_p = any(%(ids)s)""", dict(ids=[8718, 27339, 108509463, 9113, 14951])) which gets translated to cs.query 'select name from kundentable where id_p = any(ARRAY[8718, 27339, 108509463, 9113, 14951])' and yields the appropriate result. oracle supports something similar with select name from kundentable where id_p=any(8718, 27339, 108509463, 9113, 14951) BUT... how can I get that list of ID_S from Python to Oracle via cx_Oracle?
