how to optimize pl sql if statement with multiple OR conditions

Question

I'm new to pl sql can you please let me know how i can optimize the below if statement?

IF (inSeries=‘90’) OR (inSeries=‘91’) OR (inSeries=‘92’) OR (inSeries=‘93’) OR (inSeries=‘94’) THEN

like in sql we can use

WHERE inSeries IN (‘90’,’91’,’92’,’93’,’94’)

Answer 1

In PLSQL also 'IN' condition works as IF condition

declare
inSeries varchar2(2) := '90';
begin
if inseries in ('90','91','92','93','94')
then
dbms_output.put_line(inseries ||':this is within series');
else
dbms_output.put_line(inseries ||':this is out of series');
end if;
end;

-- output
90:this is within series
80:this is out of series

but there is another way depending on the business logic, as i can see from your question that its in series increment, you can directly use greater than and less than combination...

Answer 2

Optimizer will most probably rewrite query so your IN will become OR anyway. Compare line 3 in the query and the very last line:

SQL> select job
  2  from emp
  3  where deptno in (10, 20, 30, 40);

JOB
---------
CLERK
SALESMAN
<snip>

14 rows selected.

Answer 3

您可以将SQL查询本身与“ EXISTS”关键字一起使用。

IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM <table_name> WHERE inSeries IN (‘90’,’91’,’92’,’93’,’94’))
