try this (not tested):
FROM table_a
INNER JOIN table_b
ON table_b.code LIKE concat(table_a.code,';%')
or this:
FROM table_a
INNER JOIN table_b
ON table_b.code RLIKE concat('^',table_a.code,';')

is there anyway to do a joint between a table that has codes like this 10004;XXX or
DE;YYY
with a table that has just the first part e.g 10004 or DE as the code
There is no set length to the code , all I know is that it is the part before the
semicolon.
so, I can't say
FROM table_a INNER JOIN
