Simple SQL question

Hello, everybody.

I've a simple question about SQL usage but i don't know even i can
formulate this question. Well, i will try :
I've a teacher_course table with columns cd_course, cd_teacher =>
teacher_course(cd_teacher,cd_course) and i've a set of pairs that
contains the values for these columns, like {(1,2),(23,11),(563,341),...}.
Is there a way to build a query to select rows that matchs these
pairs ? Like a "in" extension (or something else) :

select * from teacher_course where (cd_course,cd_teacher) in
((1,2),(23,11),(563,341))

?

I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.
