FIND_IN_SET vs IN SQL commands

IN
This keyword is used to get data values equals to IN clause values.

Example :-

Select * from test_table where field_1 IN ('123','abc','873','345')

Above SQL returns values equals to 123,abc,873,345 in field_1.

FIND_IN_SET

Suppose you have a String values like "123,abc,873,345". You can use FIND_IN_SET to get IN clause supported string as '123','abc','873','345'.

Select * from test_table where field_1 FIND_IN_SET (',','123,abc,873,345')

This SQL is also return above IN SQL results.

Split pipe separated column in Linux

Suppose you have a file that have pipe ("|") separated values.

122344|093462|45836
472391|093742|23444

If you want to split column 2 values, you can use the following command to get second column values easily.

cat log.txt | awk -F"|" '{print $2}'>second_column_log.txt

This will create a file called "second_column_log.txt" that contains column two values.
