Re: Array paramiters

If I undestand you correctly you're looking for something like (in
pseudo-non-working-code):

     int[] num = new int[]{1,2,3};
     PreparedStatement ps = new PreparedStatement(
          "SELECT * FROM items WHERE id IN ?");
     ps.setArray(num);
     ps.executeQuery();

If this is the case, then I'm pretty sure your answer's no. I've wanted
this a few times and haven't found anything. Your best answer is what
Andreas suggested.

cheers, Pete
