mysql: comparing two columns - mysql

Question

my tables and their layout:
mysql> select * FROM xt_shipping_zones;
+---------+-------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| zone_id | zone_name | zone_countries |
+---------+-------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 5 | ZONE1 | AT,BE,BG,DK,FI,FR,GR,IE,IT,LV,LT,LU,MC,NL,PL,PT,RO,SM,SE,SK,SI,ES,HU,GB |
| 6 | Deutschland | DE |
| 8 | ZONE2Brutto | AD,NO,VA |
| 9 | ZONE2NETTO | CH,LI |
+---------+-------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
mysql> select * FROM xt_shipping_cost WHERE shipping_geo_zone = 99995 LIMIT 5;
+------------------+-------------+-------------------+-----------------------+--------------------------+------------------------+----------------+------------------+
| shipping_cost_id | shipping_id | shipping_geo_zone | shipping_country_code | shipping_type_value_from | shipping_type_value_to | shipping_price | shipping_allowed |
+------------------+-------------+-------------------+-----------------------+--------------------------+------------------------+----------------+------------------+
| 269 | 34 | 99995 | | 0.31 | 17.99 | 17.0000 | 1 |
| 270 | 34 | 99995 | | 17.99 | 35.99 | 34.0000 | 1 |
| 271 | 34 | 99995 | | 35.99 | 53.99 | 51.0000 | 1 |
| 272 | 34 | 99995 | | 53.99 | 71.99 | 68.0000 | 1 |
| 273 | 34 | 99995 | | 71.99 | 89.99 | 85.0000 | 1 |
+------------------+-------------+-------------------+-----------------------+--------------------------+------------------------+----------------+------------------+
mysql> SELECT * FROM geoip WHERE 92569600 BETWEEN start AND end;
+----------+----------+---------+-----+
| start | end | country | id |
+----------+----------+---------+-----+
| 92569600 | 92585983 | AT | 895 |
+----------+----------+---------+-----+
My Query:
SELECT
xt_shipping_cost.shipping_type_value_from,
xt_shipping_cost.shipping_type_value_to,
xt_shipping_cost.shipping_price,
geoip.country
FROM xt_shipping_cost
INNER JOIN xt_shipping_zones
ON xt_shipping_cost.shipping_geo_zone = xt_shipping_zones.zone_id + 99990
INNER JOIN geoip
ON geoip.country REGEXP xt_shipping_zones.zone_countries
WHERE 34664448 BETWEEN geoip.start AND geoip.end
My Problem:
Query is working if there is only ONE entry in xt_shipping_zones.zone_countries like DE. If there are multiple (with comma seperated entries) i cant get a match on that row.
Doing it manually:
mysql> SELECT * FROM `xt_shipping_zones` WHERE `zone_countries` REGEXP 'AT';
+---------+-----------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| zone_id | zone_name | zone_countries |
+---------+-----------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 5 | ZONE1 | AT,BE,BG,DK,FI,FR,GR,IE,IT,LV,LT,LU,MC,NL,PL,PT,RO,SM,SE,SK,SI,ES,HU,GB |
+---------+-----------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+

I think you can use find_in_set()
SELECT
xt_shipping_cost.shipping_type_value_from,
xt_shipping_cost.shipping_type_value_to,
xt_shipping_cost.shipping_price,
geoip.country
FROM xt_shipping_cost
INNER JOIN xt_shipping_zones
ON xt_shipping_cost.shipping_geo_zone = xt_shipping_zones.zone_id + 99990
INNER JOIN geoip
ON find_in_set(geoip.country, xt_shipping_zones.zone_countries)
WHERE 34664448 BETWEEN geoip.start AND geoip.end
It is no good idea to store the values as csv. That is very bad database design.
