I want to extract the substrings from a string in MySQL. The string contains multiple substrings separated by commas(','). I need to extract these substrings using any MySQL functions.
For example:
Table Name: Product
-----------------------------------
item_code name colors
-----------------------------------
102 ball red,yellow,green
104 balloon yellow,orange,red
I want to select the colors field and extract the substrings as red, yellow and green as separated by comma.

Unfortunately, MySQL does not feature a split string function.
As in the link above indicates there are User-defined Split function.
A more verbose version to fetch the data can be the following:
SELECT SUBSTRING_INDEX(SUBSTRING_INDEX(colors, ',', 1), ',', -1) as colorfirst,
SUBSTRING_INDEX(SUBSTRING_INDEX(colors, ',', 2), ',', -1) as colorsecond
....
SUBSTRING_INDEX(SUBSTRING_INDEX(colors, ',', n), ',', -1) as colornth
FROM product;
