The main motivation for this rule is to improve the readability of relevant SQL code. From one database optimiser to another, the performance of ``++IN++`` and ``++OR++`` clauses to specify a list of possible values for a column can be slightly different, but this difference is usually very minor. What is not minor is the difference in readability between the two styles, which is why an ``++IN++`` clause is preferred.
== Noncompliant Code Example
----
SELECT * FROM PERSONS
WHERE AGE = 10 OR AGE = 13 OR AGE = 18 OR AGE < 5
----
== Compliant Solution
----
SELECT * FROM PERSONS
WHERE AGE IN (10, 13, 18) OR AGE < 5
