Select … where … OR

Question

Is there a way to select data where any one of multiple conditions occur on the same field?

Example: I would typically write a statement such as:

select * from TABLE where field = 1 or field = 2 or field = 3

Is there a way to instead say something like:

select * from TABLE where field = 1 || 2 || 3

Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

Sure thing, the simplest way is this:

select foo from bar where baz in (1,2,3)

Answer 2

select * from TABLE where field IN (1,2,3)

You can also conveniently combine this with a subquery that only returns one field:

    select * from TABLE where field IN (SELECT boom FROM anotherTable)

Answer 3

OR:

SELECT foo FROM bar WHERE baz BETWEEN 1 AND 3

Answer 4

select * from TABLE where field in (1, 2, 3)

Answer 5

WHERE field IN (1, 2, 3)

Answer 6

You can still use in for

select *
from table
where field  = '1' or field = '2' or field = '3'

its just

select * from table where field in ('1','2','3')

Answer 7

while in is a shortcut for or and I wasn't sure how I could combine in with and, I did it this way

 SELECT * FROM table
 WHERE column1='x' AND (column2='y' OR column2='z');
