[dba-SQLServer] Stored Procedure SQL IN Clause

Can you put in the percentage sign to include a longer string?
The way you have it, the procedure will look for an exact match.

CREATE PROCEDURE uspResidenceTypeList
@InClause Varchar(200)
AS
SELECT *
FROM tblClient
WHERE (ResidenceType IN(@%InClause%)

Test it by manually inserting the same values into the WHERE clause to see
if its returning any results.

What format are you passing your criteria as?

Subject: [dba-SQLServer] Stored Procedure SQL IN Clause

All,

The end of last week, I was working on a stored procedure in SQL Server.  I
wanted it to be able to pass in information via a parameter to populate an
IN clause in the SQL statement so I could use a multi-select list box for
the control on the form.

Here is what I was trying:

I have a list of residence types (house, hotel, mobile home, homeless,
etc.).  I wanted to be able to select one or more in the list box.

The Stored Procedure looked something like this:

CREATE PROCEDURE uspResidenceTypeList
@InClause Varchar(200)
AS
SELECT *
FROM tblClient
WHERE (ResidenceType IN(@InClause)

This works for a single value, i.e. 'Homeless', but it returns no records
when I pass in multiple values.

Does someone have any ideas about what I can do to get this to work?

Thanks,

Robert
