Problem setting SQL sentence "SELECT... IN " in Query database

Hi there,

I have problem setting up the SQL sentence "SELECT .... IN " in query database smart service.

if I directly writing "SELECT .... IN ('1234','5678')" in the SQL Statement, it will work.

if I have create a process variable to be the string '1234','5678', then put the following sentence

SELECT .... IN (ac!str) and assign the process variable to this ac!str, it will not work.

I dont know what's the problem here, as I can't hard coded in the SQL sentence, the string need to be dynamic.

Can anyone be able to help?

regards,

Lin

can you paste the config in data tab of query rule smart service..is it with multiple values?

What type of database are you using? In Oracle, we work around this by utilizing INSTR() such as:

SELECT ...
WHERE INSTR(ac!list, ',' || table.column || ',') > 0

The ac! value in your Data Inputs tab is then defined as:

="," & joinarray(pv!list, ",") & ","

Where pv!list is the multiple variable that you are looking to search on.

Thanks Chris. my database is SQL server, the INSTR is not working.

Yes, INSTR() is an Oracle-only function. For MSSQL Server, you will likely be switching to CHARINDEX().
