Don't do that. Dynamic SQL is bad news.

Every RDBMS has this issue, because stored procedures are not able to use a dynamic list. The way to work this out changes by RDBMS, but all of them are ways it split the values in SQL itself.

Anyway, a simple answer would be to use a recursive CTE to split the values into separate records. Once that is done, IN() or EXISTS can SELECT from the entire CTE.

Here's the basic idea. I quickly looked at mysql functions to write this, but have not tested it at all. Hopefully it shows the basic idea:

WITH RECURSIVE split_csv(x, rest) AS ( SELECT SUBSTRING_INDEX(?, ',', 1), SUBSTRING(?, FROM INST +R(?, ',') + 1) UNION ALL SELECT SUBSTRING_INDEX(rest, ',', 1), SUBSTRING(rest, FROM I +NSTR(?, ',') + 1) FROM split_csv) SELECT something FROM atable WHERE data in (SELECT x FROM split_csv);

Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
