Question

I have two integer columns and I wish to select rows with particular pairings of values. What SQL syntax can I use? For example, using IN it might look something like this if IN supported this syntax:

select * 
 from myTable 
 where value1, value2 in ((2,3), (3,4), (2,5), (3,6))

To select those rows with
value1 == 2 and value2 == 3 or value1==3 and value2==4 or 2/5 or 3/6.

I’m using a proprietary SQL system, so basic SQL is preferred. Or if there is none, having a statement that works in some standard SQL would be useful as well.

Answer 1

select yourtable.* 
from yourtable
     inner join 
     (
          select 2 as v1, 3 as v2 
          union select 3,4
          union select 2,5
          union select 3,6
     ) pairs
         on yourtable.value1 = pairs.v1
         and yourtable.value2 = pairs.v2
