A hopefully simple problem for some here ...

I have a table full of categories, assigned ID #'s.

I store those category ID #'s in a comma delimited list in a field in a row
of data for a business. A business can have more than one category.

#1. I need to display a list of those businesses, along with the categories
they are in.

AS WELL AS

#2. If I do a search by category, then I need to display a list of the
businesses that have that category assigned to them.

I was thinking it has something to do with "IN" but my query wasn't working
.....


I *think* I'm also looking for a left outer join ...

Select m.member, c.category
    from m.members LEFT OUTER JOIN c.categories
    where  c.ID IN m.categories

or something to that effect ....


Help! :)
