mysql check if numbers are in a comma separated list

Note: Please don’t tell me to normalize my database

Ok so what I need is fetch only rows if the id is present in another table which are comma separated…But am having no idea how to select

table1

script_id | name | user_id
+-------------------------+
   33       demo    256

table2

has_access| name |user_id
+-------------------------+
 33,34,56   demo    256

So I want the row to return from table1 only if the id exists inside the table2 has_access column, moreover I need exact, so if the ID gets 33, or 333 should be different…I need the exact value match

Answer 1

Mysql has FIND_IN_SET function for exactly this kind of data:

.... WHERE find_in_set(table1.script_id,table2.has_access)

But you’d better norma sorry, couldn’t resist.
