Hi,
I have a table that holds different rating categories in a single field - comma separated (table name: scale). Each rating has a value relative to where it is in the list (first_item = 1, second_item = 2, third_item = 3 etc).
I want to be able to run an SQL query in MySQL to split the field into multiple rows and determine the rating number (VALUE).
Table: scale
I want to be able to split this so that each scale is split into a separate row and numbered (VALUE):
I have tried and failed to find a solution ... any help greatly appreciated!
Many thanks,
Gary
