In 2005 and earlier you can’t pass an array as a parameter to a stored procedure but to emulate this functionality pass in a comma separated list of IDs as a VARCHAR parameter. You’ll then need to parse this list adding each id to a variable table. Then use IN on the result of the table. This is not an elegant solution but it’s about the best you can do.
DECLARE @List TABLE (ID INT)
INSERT @List VALUES ('123')
INSERT @List VALUES ('12')
SELECT *
FROM
MyTable
WHERE
MyTableID IN (SELECT ID FROM @List)
This is best accomplished by creating a function that takes in a list of ids as a string and returns your list of IDs as a table.
IF EXISTS(
SELECT *
FROM sysobjects
WHERE name="ParseIDArray")
BEGIN
DROP FUNCTION ParseIDArray
END
GO
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[ParseIDArray] (@IDList VARCHAR(8000))
RETURNS
@IDListTable TABLE (ID INT)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE
--@IDList VARCHAR(100),
@LastCommaPosition INT,
@NextCommaPosition INT,
@EndOfStringPosition INT,
@StartOfStringPosition INT,
@LengthOfString INT,
@IDString VARCHAR(100),
@IDValue INT
--SET @IDList="11,12,113"
SET @LastCommaPosition = 0
SET @NextCommaPosition = -1
IF LTRIM(RTRIM(@IDList)) <> ''
BEGIN
WHILE(@NextCommaPosition <> 0)
BEGIN
SET @NextCommaPosition = CHARINDEX(',',@IDList,@LastCommaPosition + 1)
IF @NextCommaPosition = 0
SET @EndOfStringPosition = LEN(@IDList)
ELSE
SET @EndOfStringPosition = @NextCommaPosition - 1
SET @StartOfStringPosition = @LastCommaPosition + 1
SET @LengthOfString = (@EndOfStringPosition + 1) - @StartOfStringPosition
SET @IDString = SUBSTRING(@IDList,@StartOfStringPosition,@LengthOfString)
IF @IDString <> ''
INSERT @IDListTable VALUES(@IDString)
SET @LastCommaPosition = @NextCommaPosition
END --WHILE(@NextCommaPosition <> 0)
END --IF LTRIM(RTRIM(@IDList)) <> ''
RETURN
ErrorBlock:
RETURN
END --FUNCTION
Here is an example of creating a stored procedure that takes in a list of IDs using this function
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sysobjects WHERE name="TestArrayParameter")
BEGIN
DROP PROCEDURE TestArrayParameter
END
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE TestArrayParameter
@ArrayParameter VARCHAR(8000)
AS
BEGIN
SELECT *
FROM TestTable123
WHERE TestTblID IN (SELECT ID FROM [dbo].[ParseIDArray](@ArrayParameter))
-- OR BETTER
SELECT *
FROM
TestTable123 test
INNER JOIN [dbo].[ParseIDArray](@ArrayParameter) list
ON list.ID = test.TestTblID
END
GO
CREATE TABLE TestTable123 (TestTblID INT, TestTblVal VARCHAR(50))
INSERT TestTable123 VALUES (3,'Three')
INSERT TestTable123 VALUES (25,'Twenty Five')
INSERT TestTable123 VALUES (100,'One Hundred')
DECLARE @IDList VARCHAR(8000)
SET @IDList="25,100"
EXEC TestArrayParameter @IDList
DROP TABLE TestTable123
