SELECT id, name_first, name_last
FROM person_id WHERE id IN (SELECT id
FROM login
WHERE id <= 5000)

What happens is that the in stmt can then contain up to 4999 values.

thanks.

SELECT p.id, p.name_first, p.name_last
FROM person_id as p WHERE exists (SELECT * FROM login as l WHERE l.id <= 5000 and l.id = p.id)

[code]SELECT DISTINCT p.ID,
p.Name_First,
p.Name_Last
FROM Person_ID AS p
INNER JOIN Login AS l ON l.ID = p.ID
WHERE l.ID <= 5000[/code]
