Subject: how to do a variable in-list of numbers?
I need to do an insert select of the form
insert into tab2
select col1
from tab1
where col2 in (inlist of numbers);
I do not know how many values will be in my inlist at runtime. With strings I just build a big string. How do I build an 'inlist' of numbers at runtime?
Im using a cursor to determine which values need to be added to my inlist. I think I can do some kind of cast, but im not familiar with it.
Im on 8i. I do not want to j ust run this inside my cursor. It could then execute 300-400 times and will run all day.
