How about a query something like this:
SELECT position, title FROM WHERE position1 IN (1...200) OR position2 IN
(1...200);
Caviats:
1.) I don't do this everyday so that query syntax could be all wet
(probably is in fact). You may have to programaticly generate the IN
clauses to make it work. I don't think elipses are supported.
2.) I may have misunderstood the result set you're trying for.
In anycase, I think you can get ther general idea of what I have in
mind.
