The second statement should be select count(*) from t9 where c104 like '1; %' or c104 like '% 1; %';
However I would rather use the view name of the user form which is user_x instead of t9 because if you are writing code that needs to be migrated across servers, writing SQL statements on the T tables may not be the best idea unless in your environment you are absolutely sure that you have the whole table structures migrated across systems maintaining the identical T numbers for those tables across environments.. So I would rather prefer the statement select count(*) from user_x where group_list like '1; %' or group_list like '% 1; %'; This statement will be good for all environments irrespective of how careful you are to ensure ideal case database migrations between different environments... As far as parsing the group ID's to real group names, if you absolutely have to do it using direct SQL queries why not try writing a stored procedure to do it? It may be a lot easier..

C_list= (1,15005,800005,800003,800004,805) This variable will be holding up dynamically value in numbers. For group id numbers in simple sql statement we can get the result corresponding name using the below query, Select c105,c106 from t10 where c106 in (1, 101,102,104). Same query when I tried transforming in a cursor it throws up a compilation error. The error points out to a fetch statement where we try and fetch the data from the cursor for one particular group id. Declare cursor c1 as select c105,c106 from t10 where c106 in(c_list); Begin Open c1; Loop Fetch C1 into g_num,g_name; dbms_output.put_line(g_name); EXIT WHEN C1%NOTFOUND; END LOOP; Close c1; End; Hope it explains the problem I am facing. Any suggestions/Comments or previously implemented code will be helpful for me. _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Platinum Sponsor:rmisoluti...@verizon.net ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"
