Why not insert the values in WHERE IN to a temporary helper table and join on that? It seems somewhat easier and might perform better.

- orf 8y agoOracle has a limit on the number of parameters in a query, not just in the `WHERE IN` clause. So you'd need to insert them into the helper table in batches of 1000.
- Bootvis 8y agoGood point, but isn’t that done automatically by whatever tool your using? And if the table your selecting from is big enough I would expect that this setup would be faster but it’s hard to say. It would also more easily guarantee that your results will be consistent.
