i'm attempting to do the following:
USE ARREST
SELECT * FROM arrest WHERE ecsoid = 'GCSO00MNI000524', 'GCSO00MNI006163','GCSO00MNI032352'

I actually have about 153 ECSOID numbers from a table that i need to select into a single new table. Obviously the above won't work. how do i accomplish this?

thanks

if numbers are coming from a table then why list the values in select again inside IN. why not simply join to table or use EXISTS?


USE ARREST
SELECT a.* FROM arrest a
INNER JOIN ECSOIDNumbertable t
ON t.ecsoid  = a.ecsoid 


or

USE ARREST
SELECT a.* FROM arrest a
WHERE EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM ECSOIDNumbertable t
WHERE t.ecsoid  = a.ecsoid )
