Use SET column type if you want. But there is a limit for how many members can the SET type have (64 in MySQL). I would go with the first approach. Kae Verens wrote:
this will return true for something like 'pool|fireplace|fitness' mysql_query('select id from theTable where amenities like "%pool%"') you could make it more efficient by using boolean logic: if 1=pool,2=fireplace,4=fitness, then 3=fireplace+pool, 5=fitness+pool, 7=fitness+fireplace+pool just thoughts.
