What is the DAL Code to generate a query like this:
SELECT * FROM product WHERE product.id=1 OR product.id=2 OR product.id=3 OR 
product.id product.id=4 OR product.id=5;
or even:
SELECT * FROM product WHERE (product.id=1) OR (product.id=2) OR 
(product.id=3) OR (product.id=4) OR (product.id=5);

I've tried both the DAL code approaches below and I always end up with 
crazy parentheses nesting which will eventually crash the DB driver e.g. in 
sqlite: <class 'sqlite3.OperationalError'> parser stack overflow

Is there another way to use the DAL, or is my only option to write the SQL 
manually?

    db.define_table("product")

    selected_ids = [1,2,3,4,5]
    query = []
    for pid in selected_ids:
        query.append(db.product.id == pid)

    query = reduce(lambda a,b:a|b,query)
    #Ouputs this : (((((product.id = 1) OR (product.id = 2)) OR (product.id 
= 3)) OR (product.id = 4)) OR (product.id = 5))


        
    selected_ids = [1,2,3,4,5]
    query = []
    for pid in selected_ids:
        query |= db.product.id == pid

    #I get a bonus parenthesis with this method ((((((product.id = 1) OR ) 
OR (product.id = 2)) OR (product.id = 3)) OR (product.id = 4)) OR 
(product.id = 5))
