Hi all,

I have a problem and I'm not really sure if I can solve it with SQL/SAPDB:

I have a field HAYSTACK (varchar) in my table and a query that returns n
NEEDLES (integer).
Is it possible to check if one of the NEEDLE-Values is in the
HAYSTACK-String?

Example: 
Haystack: '1;2;3;4;5;'
Needle-Resultset: 2 / 4 /        7      => tricky function that returns TRUE
'cause a needle-value is in Haystack

Do anyone of you know a way to achieve this?

(using a asociative table for haystack could solve this, but is this really
neccesary? it seems to me a little bit oversized...)

Thanks in advance

S. Lorenz
