With the column: mySetCol SET ('cat','dog','mouse','giraffe','lion')
A row with the value "dog,mouse,lion" would return 3 A row with the value "cat,giraffe" would return 2
I've been able to get the MySQL server to give me a binary version of the data...
SELECT RPAD(BIN(mySetCol+0),5,'0') AS bin from projects; +-------+ | bin | +-------+ | 11111 | | 11111 | | 11000 | | 10000 | | 10110 | +-------+
If there was some way to count the occurence of the number "1" within the string I'd have my number but I don't know of anyway to that within MySQL.
I believe SELECT LENGTH(REPLACE(BIN(mySetCol+0),0,'')) FROM projects will give you what you want...
