SELECT tbla.* FROM tbla, tblx WHERE tbla.cola = tblx.cola ORDER BY
tblx.colz
except that I'm creating tblx in application. It's a small array with
just 2 columns and usually 2-3 rows. Used for user preferences.
Do you think there's a way to do it? I'm using PHP and DB2 if it
matters.

SELECT tbla.*
FROM tbla,
TABLE ( VALUES ( ... <generate rows here> ... ) ) AS tblx(cola, colb)
WHERE tbla.cola = tblx.cola
ORDER BY tblx.colb
An example for the generated rows could be:
VALUES (1, 2), (3, 4), (5, 6)

Does not matter.
