Question

This is my current query:

SELECT * FROM users
WHERE blah blah...
AND users.who = '1'

AND users.seeking = '2' 
OR users.seeking = '5' 
OR users.seeking = '8' 
OR users.seeking = '9' 
OR users.seeking = '11' 
OR users.seeking = '13' 
OR users.seeking = '14' 
OR users.seeking = '15' 

AND users.account_status = '1';

As you can see the seeking field can have multiple values. Rather than writing so many OR’s is there a prettier way to specify all the acceptable values for that field in order to be returned by my select statement?

Answer 1

SELECT * FROM users
WHERE blah blah...
AND users.who = '1'

AND users.seeking IN('2','5','8','9','11','13','14','15') 
AND users.account_status = '1';
