I need to be able to perform a select statement where the qualifications is a list of tuples.
For example, assume I have a table: id (number, primary key) auth (varchar) identifier (varchar) The combination of auth and identifier is unique. I need to be able to query for a list of auth/identifier combinations. In oracle I can do the following: select * from table where (auth, identifier) in ((?,?),(?,?)...) In some other databases I can do something similar, but using the values keyword: select * from table where (auth, identifier) in (values(?,?),(?,?)...) There are at least some[1] who consider this valid sql-92 syntax. Both of these fail in derby (with a syntax error). As best I can tell, in derby I would have to do something like: select * from table where (auth = ? and identifier = ?) OR (auth = ? and identifier = ?) OR (auth = ? and identifier = ?) ...
