All values in the set should be there to return me any row. e.g. select * from t where id in (1,2); return 1 and 2 If am serching for 1,2,3 if any one value is missing I should not get any data. e.g. select * from t where id in (1,2,3) should not return any row. How to rewrite the above query with (1,2,3) that should not return me any row. Thanks Sandeep -- http://www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
