I ran a query that resulted in the string '1,2,3,4'.

How can I run a second query that treats that string as a list of numbers. So I’ll be able to do:

select * from tbl where name not in (1,2,3,4)

I would like an answer in pure MySQL.

    Well first of all, this usually means that your database structure is not good; you should normalize your database.

    However, you can do what you want, with the FIND_IN_SET function:

    SELECT * FROM tbl WHERE NOT FIND_IN_SET(name, '1,2,3,4')
