Thank you very much.

Could you give me a rough idea of what the MySQL query would look like?

I am trying to work out the syntax using string functions like LOCATE,
INSTR, SUBSTRING and SUBSTRING_INDEX.

That's not going to be fast even with indexes :( Not sure what you can do about it though. You either need to do it in the database or php, so one of them will be a memory / cpu hog :/
