避免多个 `or` 表达式

Question

我有以下 oracle SQL 及其作品，但所有ors都很丑陋。有没有更简洁的方法来做到这一点？

SELECT * FROM foobar WHERE
  (SUBJECT ='STAT' and TERM ='111') or  
  (SUBJECT ='STAT' and TERM ='222') or  
  (SUBJECT ='ENGLISH' and TERM ='555') or 
  (SUBJECT ='COMM' and TERM ='444') or
  (SUBJECT ='COMM' and TERM ='333') or  
  (SUBJECT ='STAT' and TERM ='666')
  ...

Answer 1

你可能更喜欢这样的事情：

select *
from foobar
where (subject,term) in ( ('STAT','111')
                         ,('STAT','222')
                         ,('ENGLISH','555')
                         ,('COMM','444')
                         ,('COMM','333')
                         ,('STAT','222')
                         ,('STAT','666') 
                        );

在纯代码清理方面，以下内容看起来更清晰：

SELECT * 
  FROM foobar 
  WHERE (SUBJECT = 'STAT' and TERM IN ('111','222','666') )
    OR  (SUBJECT = 'COMM' and TERM IN ('333','444') )
    OR  (SUBJECT = 'ENGLISH' and TERM = '555' ) ;

根据应用程序和重用逻辑的频率，设置一个查找表来应用逻辑也可能是值得的：

CREATE TABLE foobar_lookup (SUBJECT VARCHAR2(7), TERM VARCHAR2(3)) ;

INSERT INTO foobar_lookup SELECT 'STAT',    '111' FROM dual ;
INSERT INTO foobar_lookup SELECT 'STAT',    '222' FROM dual ;
INSERT INTO foobar_lookup SELECT 'STAT',    '666' FROM dual ;
INSERT INTO foobar_lookup SELECT 'COMM',    '444' FROM dual ;
INSERT INTO foobar_lookup SELECT 'COMM',    '333' FROM dual ;
INSERT INTO foobar_lookup SELECT 'ENGLISH', '555' FROM dual ;

SELECT f.* FROM foobar f
JOIN foobar_lookup fl 
    ON fl.subject = f.subject
    AND fl.term = f.term ;
