Mmm.. I'm jumping in late, and without knowledge of your app, but why not normalise that column to its own table: recid masterrec amenity 1 22 pool 2 22 spa 3 12 fitness-center And run a unique key across all three columns (or drop recid and use two columns). select masterrec from amenities where amenity = ....
