Subject Stored procedure with array parameters
Author Robert martin
Hi

I need to create a SP that takes 1 or more numeric primary key values
and returns a result set consisting of data from all values passed. In
real terms 95% of the time only one value would be passed, however I
could see potentially say 5 being the max.

What would be the best way to deal with this?

Should I

A) Have 10 params (allowing up to 10 Pks) and set unused to null
B) pass in one string parameter that has comma seperated values. I like
this but am not sure of the syntax required to break then numbers out
(just using the std FB dlls)?
C) have a table that is loaded with the values (I dont want this)
D) Other options.

Ta
