Frequently asked questions about SQL IN Clause Generator

How should I paste the values?

One per line (straight from a spreadsheet column) or separated by commas, semicolons or tabs. Blank lines are ignored and surrounding quotes are stripped.

When are values quoted?

In Auto mode, values are quoted unless every value is numeric. Single quotes inside values are escaped as ''. You can force quoting on or off.

What is chunking for?

Oracle rejects IN lists with more than 1000 expressions and other databases slow down on huge lists. Set a maximum and the tool emits several IN (…) groups joined with OR.

Can I generate NOT IN?

Yes, tick NOT IN. Remember that NOT IN with NULL values in the list never matches anything.
