Using an 'IN' operator with a SQL Command Object and C# 2.0

Question

I would like to call a sql statement such as:

Select * From Table Where Column in (\'value1\', \'value2\', \'value3\')

Is it as simple as s

Answer 1

if you only have three parameters for the in clause then yes you can use the parameters. Otherwise you can build dynamic SQL (Be careful of SQL injection attacks).

Another approach is to create a UDF which takes a delimited string and returns a table. then you could modify your query to be:

select * from 
table inner join
dbo.fn_stringToTable(@params)
