MySQL query to search between comma separated values within one field?

Use FIND_IN_SET for this. Let us first create a table −

mysql> create table DemoTable -> ( -> ListOfValues text -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.56 sec)

Insert some records in the table using insert command −

mysql> insert into DemoTable values('10|20|30|40|50|60|100'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.18 sec)

Display all records from the table using select statement −

mysql> select *from DemoTable;

Output

This will produce the following output −

+-----------------------+ | ListOfValues | +-----------------------+ | 10|20|30|40|50|60|100 | +-----------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)

Following is the query to search between comma separated values within one field −

mysql> select FIND_IN_SET(100, replace(ListOfValues,'|',',')) from DemoTable;

Output

This will produce the following output −

+-------------------------------------------------+ | FIND_IN_SET(100, replace(ListOfValues,'|',',')) | +-------------------------------------------------+ | 7 | +-------------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.04 sec)
