Question

I want to select rows from a table if a column contains a certain number e.g 981. The data in these columns is either 0, null or in the format below:

1007,1035,1189,908,977,974,979,973,982,981,1007

How do I phrase this in a query?

Obvious this query below isn’t sufficient but I need something similar

 SELECT * FROM `table` WHERE `column`='981'

Thanks

If you have regular expressions it may work:

SELECT * FROM `table` WHERE `column` REGEXP  '(^|,)951($|,)'
