It's been a few years since I did any regex queries, but I swear I used
to be able to do something like:
SELECT fieldname FROM tablename WHERE field RLIKE '(^|\|)2(\||$)';
And that would find '2', with an optional '|' at the beginning, or at
the beginning of the line, and an optional '|' or end of the line. So,
it would match the following:
2|3
1|2|3
1|2
But not
1|20|3
Can someone give me a little guidance on this? I'm pulling my hair out
on what should be a simple thing....
The database is currently in 4.1 but will soon be going to 5.0, so,
ideally the solution will work in both...
Thanks.
