USING the IN in STORED PROCEDURE
I have a problem in passing parameters on stored procedure using the IN in the were clause as below
ALTER PROCEDURE SELECT_MULTIPLE
@MULTI VARCHAR(54)
AS
SELECT MSISDN, IMSI, HLR_NO
FROM HLR
WHERE MSISDN IN (@MULTI)
ORDER BY MSISDN
WHEN I EXECUTE THE PROCEDURE ON QUERIES ON MSACCESS NO OUTPUT WHERE PRODUCED AND data entered is as follows
'639229380968','639229485075','639229346127','639229416465'
I remove the quote but I can get an output only when one value is entered.
What I am missing? please help?

Hi,
arrays (as you posted them below) are not supported as an input variable, you could split them to a table value function to join them, otherwise I would suggest you to read:
http://www.sommarskog.se/arrays-in-sql.html
I wrote afunction for that sometime ago:
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.Split
(
@String VARCHAR(200),
@Delimiter VARCHAR(5)
)
RETURNS @SplittedValues TABLE
(
OccurenceId SMALLINT IDENTITY(1,1),
SplitValue VARCHAR(200)
)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @SplitLength INT
WHILE LEN(@String) > 0
BEGIN
SELECT @SplitLength = (CASE CHARINDEX(@Delimiter,@String) WHEN 0 THEN
LEN(@String) ELSE CHARINDEX(@Delimiter,@String) -1 END)
INSERT INTO @SplittedValues
SELECT SUBSTRING(@String,1,@SplitLength)
SELECT @String = (CASE (LEN(@String) - @SplitLength) WHEN 0 THEN ''
ELSE RIGHT(@String, LEN(@String) - @SplitLength - 1) END)
END
RETURN
END
This would equal to your code:
SELECT MSISDN, IMSI, HLR_NO
FROM HLR
INNER JOIN dbo.Split((@MULTI,',') SplittedValues
ON HLR.MSISDN = SplittedValues.SplitValue
ORDER BY MSISDN

Hi jens,
Tried this code but am getting this error messages.
Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 3

Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 24
Line 24: Incorrect syntax near '@SplittedValues'.
am using SQL 7.0

Hi,
SQL 7 doesn′t have a clue about UTFs, because they were introduced in SQL2k, you can use this in a SP instead.
CREATE PROCEDURE spSplit
(
@String VARCHAR(200),
@Delimiter VARCHAR(5)
)
AS
BEGIN
CREATE TABLE #SplittedValues
(
OccurenceId SMALLINT IDENTITY(1,1),
SplitValue VARCHAR(200)
)
DECLARE @SplitLength INT
WHILE LEN(@String) > 0
BEGIN
SELECT @SplitLength = (CASE CHARINDEX(@Delimiter,@String) WHEN 0 THEN
LEN(@String) ELSE CHARINDEX(@Delimiter,@String) -1 END)
INSERT INTO @SplittedValues
SELECT SUBSTRING(@String,1,@SplitLength)
SELECT @String = (CASE (LEN(@String) - @SplitLength) WHEN 0 THEN ''
ELSE RIGHT(@String, LEN(@String) - @SplitLength - 1) END)
END
Select * from #SplittedValues
END
Called:
CREATE TABLE #SplittedValues
(
OccurenceId SMALLINT,
SplitValue VARCHAR(200)
)
INSERT INTO #SplittedValues
EXEC spSplit @MULTI,','
SELECT MSISDN, IMSI, HLR_NO
FROM HLR
INNER JOIN #SplittedValues SplittedValues
ON HLR.MSISDN = SplittedValues.SplitValue
ORDER BY MSISDN
(Untested)
