>>3) As list size increases it gets slower (SQL server needs to consume a larger input)
>>4) An alternative is to create a temp table on the same connection and insert values in that table then use a join (or in (select ... )). This approach works better if you are using the same query for both VFP and SQL.

SQLExec(m.lnHandle,'create table #myIdList (myId i)')
SQLExec(m.lnHandle,'insert into #myIdList values (1)')
SQLExec(m.lnHandle,'insert into #myIdList values (2)')
SQLExec(m.lnHandle,'insert into #myIdList values (3)')
SQLExec(m.lnHandle,;
 'select myTable.* from myTable inner join #myIdList ids on ids.myID = myTable.pkid', 'result')
