In order to work, your insert must be like "travel,sports,dancing" and not "travel, sports, dancing".

Good to understand this! There's one thing I'm having a little bit of trouble with is that I would like to create my table initially in MS Excel, save it as CSV and then import it into MySQL. But when I have a column like Interests with a cell value like "travel, sports, dancing", MySQL just sets the value of Interests to "travel", ignoring the rest of the list. Any ideas on how to format the CSV file so that MySQL will import it properly (without, hopefully, having to type in the numeric value for the interests combo). This is what the first 2 rows (header + 1st data row) of my CSV look like now (with the set column actually named features and the value I want being "waterfront, pool, titled"): listing_id,listing_type,general_area,land_size,asking_price,primary_photo,num_photos,descrip_en,descrip_es,map_id,features,agent,agent_listing_ref 1,Hotel,Cahuita,2598.53,725000,1,13,Unique impeccable hotel for sale in Cahuita. This place has been nurtured with lots of love and now the owners would like to sell it to the special people who would like to carry on with the gentle spirit of the place. Rare: titled property 100 meters from the beach! Excellent reviews from all major guidebooks. Manicured gardens; outstanding construction; excellent maintenance; good revenues. ,,,"waterfront, pool, titled",patricia,TDCA001 Thanks, Doug. Hi–Thanks for the article. Good to understand this!
