SQL Query - Don't grab this unless this - sql

Question

I'm modifying a query I have that pulls news items from my database. These news items have tags, which, in the database, is stored in a single column as a string separated by commas.
For example:
'content,video,featured video,foo'
What I'm trying to do is grab all the items in the table but not the items that contain 'video' in the tags string, unless the tag string also contains 'featured video'
What is the best way to do this?
Here is my query:
SELECT *
FROM posts
WHERE status = 2
ORDER BY postDate

Answer 1

I'm offering horrible thing, but if you want to stick to your table structure, you may try following:
SELECT * FROM posts
WHERE STATUS=2 AND
INSTR(tags,'featured video')>0
OR
INSTR(tags,'video')=0
At least use FULLTEXT index on that field, so it won't be this painful to use.

Answer 2

Probably not the best way to do it...
Select *
FROM posts
where status = 2
AND postID NOT IN
(SELECT postID FROM posts
WHERE tag LIKE '%Video%'
AND tag NOT like '%Featured Video%')
I am assuming PostId to be the PK from the posts table btw...

Answer 3

I would use a query like this:
SELECT
*
FROM
posts
WHERE
status = 2
AND (CONCAT(',', tags, ',') LIKE '%,featured video,%'
OR CONCAT(',', tags, ',') NOT LIKE '%,video,%')
ORDER BY
postDate
