Hi,

I have an application where a user can choose a large number of distinct products to process.

The SQL that I currently use looks something like this:

select * from products where date='01012000' AND ( id='123' OR id='456' OR id='789' );

There can be maybe hundreds of different unconnected id's chosen.

Is there a more elegant/efficient way to do this than a large number of ORs ?

Thanks
JohnT
