SherryA Using API for Queries
I'm maintaining some existing code that uses the API to make query calls to the db. (My background is a web developer using standard SQL). I have a query that I need to modify that uses a field that is a datatype of 'Picklist'. I need to get only rows where value in the picklist field starts with a certain value (perfect scenario for a 'like'). I don't want to hardcode a list of 6 values, plus I don't want to be tied to what my users might change later. It looks like I can't use a 'like' on this type of field? Can I get to id's of the picklist so I can use that so I don't hard-code values that my user could change? (I'm guessing I should just give it up and hard-code a list...but it looks like I can't use an 'in' either...correct?)
Thanks for any thoughts.

it will show you have to parse over the items in a picklist.. not sure if this is what your looking for?
ChrisGountanisHow do you parse a specific picklist for example products under case?
