---------------------------------------------------------------

I don't think so: the standard you quoted has unlike types compare to false 
always.

As it explains that the 'in' expression is equivalent to '=' expressions 
chained with 'or' it seems to me that you are supposed to treat it as syntactic 
sugar for this.

So it is the lower level '=' expressions which count. So as 1 always compares 
to false against every element of the set it is indeed not in it.

The semantic you are thinking of is where 1 would be "unknown". Say:
{quote}
X in ('a', 'b', 'c')
{quote}
where X is undefined (and indeed there is now a test for this case).

The standard does indeed only allow strings in the IN expression, but the qpid 
Java broker extended that so I did too. I think there are some other extensions 
as well, but I don't remember exactly what they are now.

>             Project: Qpid
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: C++ Broker
>    Affects Versions: qpid-cpp-0.34
>            Reporter: Gordon Sim
>            Assignee: Andrew Stitcher
>            Priority: Minor
>             Fix For: qpid-cpp-next
>
>
> E.g. a selector "x BETWEEN 1 AND 10" would match for a value of x="foo", 
> because of the way the logic is implemented for the between expression, or a 
> selector "x NOT IN ('a', 'b', 'c')" would match where x=1, though it should 
> not due to the type mismatch.
> From JMS spec: "Only like type values can be compared. One exception is that 
> it is valid to compare exact numeric values and approximate numeric values"
