How to find a particular varchar id in MySQL from a list of values?
To get a particular varchar ID from a list, you can use FIND_IN_SET(). Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable ( Id varchar(255) ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.51 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('10,100,1000'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.21 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values('101,120,2'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values('3,4,5'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec)
Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+-------------+ | Id | +-------------+ | 10,100,1000 | | 101,120,2 | | 3,4,5 | +-------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to find the id in MySQL −
mysql> select *from DemoTable where find_in_set('2',Id);
This will produce the following output −
+-----------+ | Id | +-----------+ | 101,120,2 | +-----------+ 1 row in set (0.03 sec)
