Re:

Let Say I have the array of primary key of some table say XYZ.
For e.g. (555,222,333,111)

When I query for these results I will get the result like in the order of (111,222,333,555) .
So now I need to process in the business logic to maintain the search criteria.

But I want the result from IIN query... the order I provide the ids

And if I will make query like ,
select * from XYZ where id=555 UNION ALL select * from XYZ where id=222 etc
Then it will return in that order.

so which one is better approach,
Or is there any other way...?

Hello Everyone,

I have a array of ids from my search result and now I want to fetch the details from the database.
Now IN query is ruined my sort order.So should I go for Union All?

IN doesn't ruin your sort order really.... You need to think in sets...

Is there any other method to fetch the data..?

Can't you not directly join against you other table to fetch the result directly??

Show us the SQL you are working with + tables would help aswell.

Please help me in this....
Thanks in advance...
