Sample Data
When I am set parameter as in following way the not getting properly result.
Query:
SET #parmClientList ='7,11,14';
Select fkUserID from tbluserclient where MultipleClientID IN(#parmClientList);
but when I declare directly as hard coded then I getting proper result.
Query:
select fkUserID from tbluserclient where MultipleClientID IN(7,11,14);
Can some one suggest me how to pass multiple value to IN() function parameter.
The list in the IN() condition has to be a literal list, it won't split a string. Use FIND_IN_SET().
SELECT fkUserID FROM tbluserClient
WHERE FIND_IN_SET(CAST(MultipleClientID AS DECIMAL), #parmClientList);
Using CAST(MultipleClientID AS DECIMAL) performs the same conversion of that column from a comma-separated list to a single number that you get when you test it with IN(7,11,14). In both cases, it just checks whether the first number in the column is in the list.

I have to write a stored procedure where I want to set values for a variable called colorId using IN operator, the parameter can be a list of integer ids or no ids. I am wondering what should be the type of variable in the stored procedure?
where color_id IN (1,2,3,4);
Thanks for the help!
If you send a string like '1,2,3,4' as a single parameter, the query will run as if you had done this:
where color_id IN ('1,2,3,4');
The way MySQL does implicit type casts to integer, this converts the value to an integer using only the leading digits, and ignores everything after the first comma. So it will really run as if you had done this:
where color_id IN (1);
There is no way to "remove" the quotes. The point of query parameters is that they are not combined with the query until after the SQL parsing is done. Therefore the parameter is fixed as a single string value in that expression. You can't convert a parameter into a list of discrete values, because that would change the syntax of the query.
So you must pass multiple parameters, one for each value in your list. Like this:
...where color_id IN (?, ?, ?, ?);
And use some function in your client application to split the string into multiple parameters and then pass them not as a single string value, but as multiple integer values.
Some people try to use tricks like using MySQL's FIND_IN_SET() function, but I don't recommend this, because it cannot be optimized with any index.
You tagged this question stored-procedures from which I infer that you are trying to write a procedures that accepts a string of comma-separated integers and use it in an IN() predicate. This is more inconvenient to do in a stored procedure than in any other programming language, because MySQL's stored procedure language doesn't support arrays or good functions for splitting strings or counting elements. It can be done with enough effort, but the code is awful and you will quickly wish you were using any other language.
Your can pass parameter value like this - '1,2,3,4' and FIND_IN_SET function will be able to search in the provided string:
SELECT *
FROM colors
WHERE FIND_IN_SET(color_id, param); # param --> '1,2,3,4'
I am having a hell of a time trying to add two calculated fields in a query together. My first record has field1= 1, and field2= 5, and the field that is trying to add them as 15!
So it’s treating them as a string.
When I try to use the function of SUM() I get an error of some of the other fields not being used in expressions, which I don’t understand.
Subtracting the two fields works as does multiplication.
I am unable to change the format of either fields in the properties as the drop down menu is blank.
Please help!
Aggregate functions act on rows not fields. Sum(field1) adds the values of field1 for group of records. Use aggregate functions in an aggregate (GROUP BY) query.
Plus (+) character will concatenate text values but add numeric. Apparently, your two fields are providing text values. Either correct the field data type or use function to convert values to number. Convert at least one field and Access will perform arithmetic instead of concatenation on all terms of expression.
Val(field1) + field2
This assumes no fields are Null. Number conversion functions will error with Null. Also, arithmetic with Null returns Null. If Null is possibility, handle with Nz().
Val(Nz(field1,0)) + Nz(field2,0)
i have a code in sql for string comparison which takes two parameters as input works upon it and returns a result. both of the parameters are words, i want to change the parameter from a single word to a database column. how do i do that?
say for example in java its like storing the data in an array and than passing the whole array. can something like this be done in sql?
You can use the Select query for passing each value of a particular column from the table into your function.
like this,
SELECT compare_city_name('baroda',t.cityname) from tablename as t
In this query, you pass all cities name from cityname column to the function compare_city_name one by one.
Pass it as a VARCHAR, then build the query with "prepare" and "execute" it.
I need to search for a value like 1234-abc. The database doesn't have this particular value, but has another value 1234. Now the problem is when I write my query like
SELECT * FROM words WHERE tval='1234-abc'
instead of fetching an empty recordset, it fetches the 1234 value, it seems to ignore anything after the -, any idea what's going on?

You can use the BINARY keyword for the exact match
SELECT tval FROM words WHERE BINARY tval='1223-abc';
Binary is a built-in keyword that after your WHERE clause that forces a comparison for an exact case-sensitive match
Fiddle
The existing expression is implicitly converting the string expression to a number - you need to explicitly convert the number to a character strng, like so:
SELECT tval FROM words WHERE convert(tval,char(20))='1223-1ABCDE';

I am trying to pass a parameter to a query, rather than write copious text I have narrowed it down to this simple explanation.
The frament I am trying to insert into is
where pkw_0.keyword in (:kwd)
I have used a String[] to construct a string of the form vals="'AVal','BVal'" which I pass to the query using setParameter("kwd",vals); The query returns zero results. However if I construct the query by hand and use the mysql console the query returns 1 result which is expected.
So I am assuming that either a single string is incorrect for the parameter or there is some conditioning of the values that I need to do prior to passing them via the setParameter call.
Each parameter can only represent a single literal value. You will need to create multiple placeholders in your prepared statement (one for each value) and then provide each value to MySQL as a separate parameter.
