MySQL: Split comma separated list into multiple rows

In MySQL this can be achieved as below

SELECT id, length FROM vehicles WHERE id IN ( 117, 148, 126) 

+---------------+
| id  | length  |
+---------------+
| 117 | 25      |
| 126 | 8       |
| 148 | 10      |
+---------------+

SELECT id,vehicle_ids FROM load_plan_configs WHERE load_plan_configs.id =42

+---------------------+
| id  | vehicle_ids   |
+---------------------+
| 42  | 117, 148, 126 |
+---------------------+

Now to get the length of comma separated vehicle_ids use below query

Output

SELECT length 
FROM   vehicles, load_plan_configs   
WHERE  load_plan_configs.id = 42 AND FIND_IN_SET(
       vehicles.id, load_plan_configs.vehicle_ids
)

+---------+
| length  |
+---------+
| 25      |
| 8       |
| 10      |
+---------+

I've answered two similar questions in as many days but not had any responses so I guess people are put off by the use of the cursor but as it should be a one off process I personally dont think that matters.

As you stated MySQL doesnt support table return types yet so you have little option other than to loop the table and parse the material csv string and generate the appropriate rows for part and material.
