Unserialize through query at database level itself

Question

I have a column value stored in the database as:

a:2:{i:0;s:2:\"US\";i:1;s:2:\"19\";}

I want to unserialize it during the mysql

Answer 1

You can join your table simply in this way

    SELECT 
    table_to_join.ID as table_to_join_ID ,
    serialized_table.ID AS   serialized_table_ID,
FROM
    table_to_join
        LEFT JOIN
    serialized_table  ON  serialized_table.array_field  REGEXP CONCAT_WS('','.s:[0-9];s:', table_to_join.ID ,';.') ;

Take mention. I use index from 0 to 9 in table. If you have other indexes you must correct regexp
