You are misusing SQL variable substitution. Just embed the list in the SQL statement itself.
paste("SELECT * FROM this_table WHERE this_column IN (", paste(org_table$id, collapse=TRUE),")",sep="") Better yet, use a SQL join so you can do this sequence in one SQL statement. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Newmiller The ..... .....

The proper SQL format is: SELECT * FROM this_table WHERE this_column IN (1,2,3,4,5) But, I think I may be getting something like: SELECT * FROM this_table WHERE this_column IN c(1,2,3,4,5) Which makes no sense in SQL. I think it may be just a matter of string massaging, but I'm not certain. I've tried to build the query using sprintf statements with no luck. I could not get RMySQL to do it either.
