Hi, I tried to mail this to the novice list I believe it was rejected:

User unknown >> So here's my question. Hi people, This is not quite a pg question, but any suggestions are most welcome. How can one query a list of values against a db field that contains a list of values ? Table foo foo_id | foo_name | da_list -------------------------------------- 1 | x | 1,2,3,4,5 2 | y | 1,4,5 3 | z | 4,5,11 4 | xyz | 14,15,33 As a result from another query I have parameter bar = '1,4' and want to find all rows from foo where da_list contains '1' or '4'. So loop over bar to loop over da_list in foo ?
