I'm not sure if i'm missing something, but is there an efficient way of retrieving multiple rows based on different conditions in order. For example i have a table with rows of ids, i want to select multiple rows at a time. At present i am doing a "SELECT name FROM table WHERE id = x" for each row i want and then stitching it all together. But i'm finding this is quite slow even on a moderately small database (2000 entries).
I'm guessing my SQL is the worst way of doing things so i've been trying to find a better method. I stumbled across "SELECT name FROM table WHERE id IN (x,y,z) however this doesn't allow me to specify the order the rows are returned, which i must have. The only other option i can find is using UNION ALL in between multiple SELECT statements, but would this give me a large performance increase over doing this progammatically as i've got it? Unless i've missed something obvious which could well be the case!
