Feeding a list into a query

Question

Hi,
I have a simple table that contains two columns (StaffID,
Code). Both take integer values. I now have a list of StaffIDs that
I want to pull up. How can I feed this list into a query. When I
tried the following, I got an error because the list is a string
while the query is expecting integer values.
quote:
<Cfset idList = "1,5,6,10">
<cfquery name="test" datasource="myDB">
select Code
from StaffTable
where StaffID in (#idList#)
</cfquery>
How to correct the above? I know I can do the following, but
it's a bit unwieldy.
quote:
<Cfset idList = "1,5,6,10">
<cfquery name="test" datasource="myDB">
select Code
from StaffTable
where StaffID = listGetAt(idList,1)
<cfloop from="2" to="#ListLen(idList)#" index="idx">
or StaffID = #listGetAt(idList,idx)#
</cfloop>
</cfquery>
Thanks.

The first query posted should have worked.
What was the error ?
Turn on debugging and see what the query is and try running
it in the database
But you should use
where StaffID in (<cfqueryparam value="#idList#"
list="yes" cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer">)
