Subject: using a list to query
Date: Sat, 2 May 2009 09:55:29 -0700
Message-ID: <200905020955.29386.jfabiani@yolo.com> (raw)

I have a list (or array) of primary keys stored in a field (data type text).  
I would like to use the list to retrieve all the data from a table based on 
the list.

my text field contains:
 '123,134,343,345'

I would to do something like the following:

Select * from table1 where table1.pkid in (select myTextfield from table2)

So the question is there a simple way to use the list to retrieve my data?
