Question

My table had \'tags\' field like this:

How to remove \',tag2\' including comma using mysql query.

Answer 1

For a SET data type, you could use something like this -

CREATE TABLE sets(tags SET('tag1','tag2','tag3'));
INSERT INTO sets VALUES
  ('tag1,tag2'),
  ('tag1,tag3,tag2'),
  ('tag2,tag3'),
  ('tag3,tag1');

UPDATE sets SET tags = tags &~ (1 << FIND_IN_SET('tag2', tags) - 1);

SELECT * FROM sets;
+-----------+
| tags      |
+-----------+
| tag1      |
| tag1,tag3 |
| tag3      |
| tag1,tag3 |
+-----------+
