Multiple values in where clause(IN) of select query in Cisco Cloud Portal using single field

Question

I can actually pass multiple values in the IN statement of select query using multiple dictionary fields in the data retrieval rule of the AFC in Cisco cloud portal like
#dictionary.field1# = 1 and
#dictionary.field2#=2
select col1,col2 from table1 where col3 in (#dictionary.field1#,dictionary.field2#).
but I want to pass mutiple values in a single field as
#dictionary.field1#=1,2
select col1,col2 from table1 where col3 in (#dictionary.field1#) and the query gives no data because it is taking as '1,2' instead of '1','2'.
Please give the solution for passing multiple values in a single variable to use in IN operator of WHERE clause

Answer 1

Ok, I now understand what you are trying to do. Unfortunately, you cannot inject parts of a SQL statement into a DDR through a dictionary field, which always represents a specific value (the comma in your case is attempting injection of a SQL construct to refer to multiple values). One possible solution is to arbitrarily consolidate your list of values using a delimiter that you know will not be in the values themselves such as a colon (:). Let's use 3 values as it serves as a better example.
Set your dictionary field to a single reference to all 3 values of interest, say 'a', 'b', 'c' as:
:a:b:c:  (you can use javascript to create this consolidated dictionary field)
Now your query would look something like the following:
select col1,col2 from table1 where #dictionary.field1t# like '%:'+col3+':%'
This should achieve the desired result.
