With the default <sqlcp arrayconvert> and metamorphstrlstmode
settings (on and equivlist, respectively), a
string variable with multiple values becomes a parenthetical
comma-separated list when used as a SQL parameter, so that any of the
values match with the Metamorph like
operator. For example,
the following query:
The capitals are:
<$states = "AL" "MS" "GA" "FL">
<SQL "select capital from State where state like $states">
$capital
</SQL>
would match any of the given states, because the
$states parameter becomes "(AL,MS,GA,FL)
".
