Maybe anybody knows how many? Anyway: My exact problem is "in words" quite easy: col1 | col2 ------------ 123 | 958 143 | 394 124 | 345 324 | 345 346 | 541 743 | 144 346 | 986 Imagine, this table is really big (millions records). Now, I want to retrieve for all records in col A OR col B where either 123, 124, 144, 541 (and a view thousands more ...) fits. As far as I understud you: SELECT * FROM table WHERE col1 IN (123,124,144,541,...) OR col2 IN (123,124,144,541,...); Cheers, Markus ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
