Hi all,

Is there a limit to the number of conditions you can add to a WHERE clause?

With too many WHERE clauses, do the indexes get ignored resulting in full table scans?

Is using WHERE tbl.id IN (1,22,31,52.....501) efficient, i.e. good practice?

Thanks for your time.

Theres no hard limit as such but you want to keep performance in mind..
