SQL Variable Problem

Hi All,

I have below script :

DECLARE @POSITIONS VARCHAR(100) = '''SLF'', ''SRF'''

select @POSITIONS as POSITIONS
 
 SELECT 
 A.PositionCode
 FROM TMPOSITION A
 WHERE A.PositionCode IN ('SLF', 'SRF')

  SELECT 
 A.PositionCode
 FROM TMPOSITION A
 WHERE A.PositionCode IN (@POSITIONS)

Open in new window

The result :

POSITIONS
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'SLF', 'SRF'

(1 row(s) affected)

PositionCode
------------
SLF 
SRF 

(2 row(s) affected)

PositionCode
------------

(0 row(s) affected)

Open in new window

What is wrong with @Positions ?

Thank you.

Hi Stefan,

It does not work with your code.

DECLARE @POSITIONS VARCHAR(100) =  '/SLF/SRF/';

select @POSITIONS as POSITIONS
 
 SELECT 
 A.PositionCode
 FROM TMPOSITION A
 WHERE A.PositionCode IN ('SLF', 'SRF')

  SELECT 
 A.PositionCode
 FROM TMPOSITION A
 WHERE CHARINDEX('/' + A.PositionCode + '/', @POSITIONS) > 0;

Open in new window

Thank you.
