Answer 1

After firing this query, mysql would have returned two things:
1. The item_id, item_name of the row with id 1 in the tbl_item_detail table.
2. A warning after the above result like, ‘1 row in set, 3 warnings (0.00sec)’.

The warning message means that there was a problem in your query, and mysql could only partially understand it. Your query was:

SELECT item_id,item_name FROM tbl_item_detail WHERE item_id IN('1,3,4');

It should actually be:

SELECT item_id,item_name FROM tbl_item_detail WHERE item_id IN(1,3,4);

OR

SELECT item_id,item_name FROM tbl_item_detail WHERE item_id IN('1','3','4');

I believe the rest is self explanatory.
