USING MULTIPLE SELECT VARIABLE IN A SQL STATEMENT

Question

In HTMLDB, the value of the parameter of a multiple select box is colon delimited(ie P6_Name = Smith:Jones:Burke). Is there an easy way to use this parameter in a SQL statement?
Example
Select *
from names
where
Name=P6_Name
Select *
from names
where
Name IN ('Smith','Jones','Burke')
Thank you

Thank you for your response! I'm an idiot. It didn't make sense to me because your talking about a <i>multi-select</i> variable and I was thinking about a <i>select-list</i> variable. My problem is that I need to assign a list of values to one select list item.
<br>
For example:
<br>
SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEE
WHERE EMPLOYEE_TYPE IN ( :SELECT_LIST_RETURN_VALUE );
<br><br>
With the select list as
<br><br>
Display value = All Types, Some Types, One Specific Type<br>
Return Value = (Type1, type2, type3), (type1, type2), (type3)
<br><br>
I've just started in all of this so I'd imagine that I'm probably going about it wrong.
