This is not possible in plain SQL (Dynamic SQL and procedural languages don't count). SQL is presize: you just specify what you want. Your problem statement, however, contains an ambiguity: operators and values from table2 could be either be conjuncted, or disjuncted (although, in earlier message you mentioned that you want conjunction).

You can look into expression filter developers guide. Received on Thu Jul 01 2004 - 16:40:04 CDT
