how to use WHERE IN mysql stored procedure

Question

How do I pass an array and use WHERE IN inside stored procedure?

Do i need to concatenate input string or something ?

Lets say

DELIMITER $$
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS `abc`.`table1`$$
CREATE PROCEDURE  `abc`.`test`
(IN somestring VARCHAR(255))
BEGIN
    SELECT * FROM abc.table1 
    WHERE flight_type IN somestring
END $$
DELIMITER ;

Answer 1

You can use the string concatenation and the PREPARE statement to run dynamically built queries.

somestring must be constructed in a valid SQL format like '1','2','3'

DELIMITER $$
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS `abc`.`table1`$$
CREATE PROCEDURE  `abc`.`test`
(IN somestring VARCHAR(255))
BEGIN
    @s=CONCAT("
    SELECT * FROM abc.table1 
    WHERE flight_type IN (",somestring,");")
    PREPARE stmt FROM @s;
    EXECUTE @s;
END $$
DELIMITER ;
