How make a select with "repeated" condition in SQL?

Question

I have the following select that need to be done:

select top 1 a, b, c, d from Products where
CodDep = 10 or
CodDep = 11 or
CodDep = 12 or CodDep = 13 or
CodDep = 26 or
CodDep = 27 or CodDep = 32 or
CodDep = 34 or
CodDep = 248442 or
CodDep = 259741 order by LastUpdate

Is there an easy way to do this without all this repetition?

Try this query:

SELECT TOP 1 a, b, c, d FROM Products WHERE
CodDep IN (10,11,12,13,26,27,32,34,248442,259741) ORDER BY LastUpdate

I dont think there is Limit keyword in SQLServer. I am guess sql sever because of Top keyword in original query. – Zohaib Dec 21 '11 at 05:39

SQL has but one data structure: the table. Put the values in a table and semi join to that table e.g.

WITH Params
     AS 
     (
      SELECT * 
        FROM (
              VALUES (10), (11), (12), (13),
                     (26), (27), (32), (34), 
                     (248442), (259741)
             ) AS T (CodDep)
     )
SELECT TOP 1 a, b, c, d 
  FROM Products 
 WHERE CodDep IN (SELECT CodDep FROM Params)
 ORDER 
    BY LastUpdate;
