Hi Navis,
I suspected that the parser only accepted an expression like (value1,
value2, value3...) as input. I guess one solution as you say would be to
add an array as an allowed argument to IN. I do not know if other SQL
dialects allow this. Another way would be to introduce a new type of UDF
that is expanded before it is sent to the parser (use string as return
type). Much like variables are handled I guess.
Thanks,
Petter
