A Proprietary MySQL Business Model

[Solomon John HART]

How much third party software is incorporated into the non-GPL version of
MySQL. Obviously the included software can't itself be under the GPL. How
does MySQL get around this? Does MySQL have contracts with contributors
instead of contributions being under the GPL? It seems like an interesting
business model and one that deserves attention.

Working with FIND_IN_SET

[John Hart]

I am working on a rather large database project, in which I am making a text column 
that contains different data, seperated by commas.  What I need to do is run a query 
where I will return only the datasets that contain any of sets that partially, or 
fully match any data in the set...

For example, if the dataset contains:

dark, black, small

I want to be able to return this data if the query contains ran contains any of the 
following matches:

dark
black
small
sma
bla
...etc...

I do not, however, want a full LIKE search with wildcards, because I do not want to 
return the set if they were to search on 'all' (which would match smALL).

Is there an easy way to do this, or am I forced into matching entire words in a set?

I appreciate any help anyone could offer me...  Thank you...

John
