>But as I look at your example, I am wondering what is better/faster/more efficient: 1. Creating a temp table and, say, inserting 20 or 50 rows into the temp table (which means calling SQLExec so many times. Or 2. Creating a string of values to be used in the IN clause of one SQL Select against the "myTable" without temp table. What is your (and others) feeling on that?

It can be a single SQLexec call. Speed depends. If all would be done in a single call then building the IN list create a shorter command to send over the wire. If values would be send at different times thenthe table approach might be better.
One or the other SQL server process it fast.
