Is there a workaround for ORA-01795: maximum number of expressions in a list is 1000 error?

Question

Is there a workaround for

\'ORA-01795: maximum number of expressions in a list is 1000 error\'

I have a query and it is selecting fields based

Answer 1

I ran into this issue recently and figured out a cheeky way of doing it without stringing together additional IN clauses

You could make use of Tuples

SELECT field1, field2, field3
FROM table1
WHERE (1, name) IN ((1, value1), (1, value2), (1, value3),.....(1, value5000));

Oracle does allow >1000 Tuples but not simple values. More on this here,

and

This is of course if you don't have the option of using a subquery inside IN to get the values you need from a temp table.
