Can I do this with SQL? [message #539767]

Hello

I'm having a little trouble figuring out how to do this:
ok lets say I have a table ADMIN containing a list of administrators:admin1, admin2, admin3
and I have an ordinary SQL report that displays a bunch of requests made by different people:
select * from REQUESTS

what I want, is for each user to be able to see their requests only, unless they are an administrator.
so something like

SELECT * FROM
(SELECT * FROM REQUESTS)
WHERE CREATED_BY = :APP_USER

and then I'm stuck...is there a way to put:
IF :APP_USER IN (SELECT * FROM ADMIN) 'ignore that last bit' with SQL? or can I use PL/SQL in the report's source? In which case how would that be written?

thanks

You could simply use an "and" and "or" in the query to add this restriction.

And (:APP_USER IN (SELECT username FROM ADMIN) 
     or CREATED_BY = :APP_USER)

You can also use PL/SQL to create the query dynamically. You then just return a varchar2 variable with your query.

But why are you using a subquery in the from clause here????
