Question

I need to select all the values where a single column matches multiple values. At one point I saw something like the following but it is not working for me. Is this correct or do I need to link these values with AND?

SELECT * FROM MYTABLE WHERE AGE = ( 20, 21, 22 )

Also im doing this in a php script and getting my values in an http post so if anyone can point me in the direction of a good example that would be great. THanks!

Answer 1

You need to use IN

SELECT * 
FROM MYTABLE 
WHERE AGE IN ( 20, 21, 22 )

and it is the same as

SELECT * 
FROM MYTABLE 
WHERE AGE =  20 OR
      AGE =  21 OR
      AGE =  22
