How to use an Array in the Query

Hello All,

 

I am writing a Java program that gets information from a database and will upload that information into Salesforce.

 

I have placed the Ids of the Accounts from the database into an Array and I want to query the Accounts object in Salesforce to get me the Account objects from Salesforce where there is a match found in the Array of Ids.

 

I have a query that reads something like this:

String[] accIds = new String[x];

binding.query("SELECT Id, Name, databaseId FROM Account WHERE databaseId IN " + accIds);

 

I am getting stuck with the query as I'm not 100% sure how to do it properly and I cannot find any information on how this should be done.

 

Any help is highly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance!

Warren

You will have to enclose each ID in a single quote and have a paranthesis around them.  Check out the syntax for IN here.
