How about
SELECT * FROM book WHERE book_prg IN (1, 4, 6) ;
Dies that make any difference?

| Subject: Select Statment Question
|
>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Hi,
I have to search a big database.
Now there are many categories i.e computerlanguage = C++, Perl,Php,Visual
Basic, C, Javascript.
In my table
C++ =1
Perl = 2
PhP = 3
VB = 4
C = 5
Java = 6
and i have a select statment like this
SELECT * FROM lang WHERE language = 1 OR language = 2 OR language = 4 OR
language =6
since this does use indexes!! because of the or statment is there a way i
can make it more efficient, because i have to join this statment with book
i.e
Select * FROM book WHERE book_prg = 1 OR book_prg = 4 OR book_prg=6
Any help is appreciated!!
