Using application data in query

#1 (**permalink**) 02-27-2008, 09:19 AM

There's nothing special in this query:

SELECT tbla.* FROM tbla, tblx WHERE tbla.cola = tblx.cola ORDER BY
tblx.colz

except that I'm creating tblx in application. It's a small array with
just 2 columns and usually 2-3 rows. Used for user preferences.

Do you think there's a way to do it? I'm using PHP and DB2 if it
matters.

SELECT tbla.*
FROM tbla,
TABLE ( VALUES ( ... <generate rows here> ... ) ) AS tblx(cola, colb)
WHERE tbla.cola = tblx.cola
ORDER BY tblx.colb

An example for the generated rows could be:

VALUES (1, 2), (3, 4), (5, 6)

Does not matter.

Thanks! It did the trick

Just for the reference (to myself): It's in SQL Reference vol.1,
Fullselect, values-clause
