Sorry, I may not have explained myself clearly. I'm simply selecting from one table 
(bad choice of names using ID). I'll try again...

SELECT * FROM TABLE
WHERE SOMEFIELD IN (:SomeValueList)

I realise IN is not the most efficient but it makes constructing the SQL at runtime 
very handy in this case.

It's not possible.  You will have to use multiple OR's or a join.  Joins
are generally quicker than IN anyway.

Subject:  [DUG]:  Query Parameters




Hi All,

I have a query (simplified here) like

SELECT * FROM TABLE
WHERE ID IN (:IDList)

Under WISQL something like

SELECT * FROM TABLE
WHERE ID IN (2,3)

works just fine. In my code if I set the param :IDList to say '2,3' it does
not work (returns nothing but no exception either). When set to say '2' or
'3' it works just fine. The IDList parameter is a string type. Is there a
rule of parameter substitution I'm breaking here ?

Thanks
