comma separated values to stored procedures

[shark]

Hi All,

i hv created a sp as
Create proc P @iClientid varchar (100)
as
Begin
select * from clients where CONVERT(VACHAR(100),iClientid) in(
@iclientid)
end

where iclientid = int data type in the clients table.
now if i pass @iclientid as @iclientid = '49,12,112'

but this statement throws an conversion error ( int to char error).

is there any way to fetch records from a select statement using a
string???

Thanks in Advance.

This does not work as you probably want. You get a selection criterium
with a single string @iClientid. You could have written

select * from clients where CONVERT(VACHAR(100),iClientid) = @iclientid

end

where iclientid = int data type in the clients table.
now if i pass @iclientid as @iclientid = '49,12,112'

If you need to pass in your id's the way you do, you can do it with
dynamic SQL, i.e. create a SQL statement and EXEC it.

Where ','+@iClientid+',' like '%,+cast(iClientid as varchar(20))+',%'
