I used a different query for this:

SELECT `id`, `field` FROM `table`
WHERE INSTR(ac!idList_txt, concat('|', CAST(id AS CHAR), '|')) > 0

with idList_txt set to "|"&joinarray(idList_int, "|")&"|"

as it misbehaved using the suggested query, especially for a single ID in the list idList_int.

The way we've handled SQL WHERE IN clause is by using sub-string matching. Following two discussions provide insight to this approach:

forum.appian.com/.../6124

The substring function to be used differs according to RDBMS. In case of MySQL, it would be something like;
delete from table WHERE INSTR(ac!idList, concat(',', CAST(id AS CHAR), ',')) > 0

If 'id' field is char/varchar, no need to do CAST().
