Michael writes "I am developing a web-based application. Maybe I have not normalized my structure correctly, but I have three tables: tblSections, tblPageAreas, tblPolicies. In each of these tables, I need to specify the geographies they apply to. From the web interface, I would like to be able to add a new record to any of these tables, passing a comma delimited string of values (1, 2, 3) to the country field, indicating the counties this record applies to. This is simple enough, but then how do I query to pull the records back out if, say I am looking for country 2 only.

the table could look like this:

id..... desc........ country
------- ------------ ------------
1...... policy-1.... 1, 2, 3
2...... policy-2.... 1, 2
3...... policy-3.... 1
4...... policy-4.... 2, 3

Thanks for any help!

Michael"
