SQL Report query with condition (multiple parameters) in apex item?

Question

Hello all,
I have a little problem and can't find a solution.
I need to create reports based on a SQL query or I.R. Nothing hard there.
Then I need to add the WHERE clause dynamically with javascript from an Apex item.
Again not very hard. I defined an Apex item, set my query like this "SELECT * FROM MYTAB WHERE COL1 = :P1_SEARCH" and then I call the page setting the P1_SEARCH value. For instance COL1 is rowid. It works fine.
But here is my problem. Let's consider that P1_SEARCH will contain several rowids and that I don't know the number of those values,
(no I won't create a lot of items and build a query with so many OR!), I would like sotheming like "SELECT * FROM MYTAB WHERE ROWID IN (:P1_SEARCH) with something like : ROWID1,ROWID2 in P1_SEARCH.
I also tried : 'ROWID1,ROWID2' and 'ROWID1','ROWID2'
but I can't get anything else than filter error. It works with IN with one value but as soon as there are two values or more, it seems than Apex can't read the string.
How could I do that, please?
Thanks for your help.

For an IR&mdash;and improved security avoiding the risk of SQL Injection&mdash;use a <a href="http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17556_01/doc/apirefs.40/e15519/apex_collection.htm#CACFAICJ">collection</a> containing the values in a column instead of a CSV list:
{code}
SELECT * FROM MYTAB WHERE ROWID IN (SELECT c001 FROM apex_collections WHERE collection_name = 'P1_SEARCH')
{code}
