Frequently asked questions
How many values can an SQL IN clause contain?
Most databases handle thousands of values, but Oracle limits an expression list to 1000 items. For very large lists, load the values into a temporary table and JOIN against it instead.
What does the Auto quoting mode do?
Values that look numeric stay unquoted; everything else is wrapped in single quotes with internal quotes escaped. Choose Always quote when numeric-looking values are actually strings, such as zip codes with leading zeros.
Is there a faster way to build queries from spreadsheet data?
Chat2DB lets you import a spreadsheet as a table and query it with SQL or plain English, so you never have to hand-build large IN lists.
