I have this MySQL query.
I have database fields with this contents
sports,shopping,pool,pc,games
shopping,pool,pc,games
sports,pub,swimming, pool, pc, games
Why does this like query does not work? I need the fields with either sports or pub or both?
SELECT * FROM table WHERE interests LIKE ('%sports%', '%pub%')

Faster way of doing this:
WHERE interests LIKE '%sports%' OR interests LIKE '%pub%'
is this:
WHERE interests REGEXP 'sports|pub'
