Question

I am using mysql database …

I have a table with col name food_type
in this field all the food types are in comma separated.
Now my problem is that i want to get the search result from them.
For Example:
Data in food_type col is like BBQ,Fast Food,Desi,Seafood,Vegetarian,
And I want to search BBQ,Seafood. But it can’t give me the accurate result .
i try to use like in my sql query but same result 🙁
How can I achieve this .

Answer 1

You could even use find_in_set() function

select * from table
where find_in_set('bbq',field_name) and find_in_set('Seafood',field_name)

but, as already written, your table needs to be normalized.
