Question

I have a list of values(deviceID) and I need to make an MySQL Query to update a column value, I can do the query in the following way

UPDATE Clients.Devices 
SET assignedUserID='Jhon' 
WHERE accountID='Delivery1' AND 
      (deviceID='1234' OR deviceID='1235' OR deviceID='1236')

That’s is a simple example but some accountID have more than 500 devicesID so I’m looking for a shorter SQL statement
So, There’s any way to pass the list of deviceID’s to the SQL server?

Something like

UPDATE Clients.Devices 
SET assignedUserID='Jhon' 
WHERE accountID='Delivery1' AND 
      (deviceID=('1234','1235','1236))

Thanks.

UPDATE

if the datatype of deviceID is numberic, single quotes are not required.

maybe IN for multiple values not =

UPDATE Clients.Devices 
SET assignedUserID = 'Jhon' 
WHERE accountID = 'Delivery1' AND deviceID IN (1234,1235,1236)

or if the ID are in sequence use BETWEEN

UPDATE Clients.Devices 
SET assignedUserID = 'Jhon' 
WHERE accountID = 'Delivery1' AND deviceID BETWEEN 1234 AND 1236
