You can use OR like mayank_joshi said, but if I was you, I'd leave the IN ( ) ... <br />
<br />
It's easier to read and will not mess with any other condition you may add ( you will need to use parenthesis or similar.) &nbsp;<br />
<br />

Cheers

What are you actually asking us...<br />
why do you need to re-write the statement...<br />
<br />
as with most sql comparisons if the set of data is going to be repeatedly used then it should<br />
&nbsp;be set up on a table and reference (via a Join) that way....<br />
<br />
create table State_groups (collection_name char(10) not null, grouping_name char(10) not null,<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;State_alias cjar(2) not null, primary key (collection_name,grouping_<wbr />name,state<wbr />_alias))<br />
<br />
e.g. &nbsp;'UPSPOSTRATE','MIDWEST','W<wbr />A' <br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;....<br />
<br />
<br />
from Yourtable as x<br />
&nbsp;inner join state_groups as s<br />
&nbsp; on x.l_st- s.state_alias<br />
&nbsp;and s.collection_name='UPSPOST<wbr />RATE'<br />
&nbsp;and s.grouping_name='MIDWEST'<br />

Databases are organized collections of data, most commonly accessed through management systems including schemas, tables, queries and processes that allow users to enter and manipulate the information or utilize it in other fashions, such as with web applications or for reporting purposes.

Databases

SQL (Structured Query Language) is designed to be used in conjunction with relational database products as of a means of working with sets of data. SQL consists of data definition, data manipulation, and procedural elements. Its scope includes data insert, query, update and delete, schema creation and modification, and data access control.
