SQL IN() function

[Bob Sneidar]

Okay, once again it’s Regex to the rescue. 

There is no function in sqLite to do this sort of thing. Instead one can use a series of LIKE statements like so:

SELECT * FROM formsgen.service where devicelist LIKE '6480,%'
	OR devicelist LIKE '%,6480' 
	OR devicelist LIKE '%,6480,%'
	OR devicelist = ‘6480'

this covers first, last, middle and only conditions
