Good day!


I want to know if what is the correct sysntax for Selecting multiple data in one column.


I have a table trace and i have column name and id
my list name are: name1, name1total, name2,name2total,name3,name4, and name5, but i wamnt to select only is the name 1,name3,name4, and name5
I have a table trans and it has id.

I try this code:

SELECT t.name FROM trace t, trans c WHERE t.name = 'name1' || 'name 3' || 'name4' || 'name5' AND t.id=c.id;

In that code all the name was selected eventhough I did not select the name1total,name2,name2total.

Thank you

I'm not quite sure on

t.name = 'name1' || 'name 3' || 'name4' || 'name5' 

Try

t.name='name1' OR t.name='name 3' OR ...

or better

t.name IN ('name1', 'name3', '....)
