Hi!


Product type table contains product types. Some ids may missing :

     create table artliik (liiginrlki char(3) primary key);
     insert into artliik values('1');
     insert into artliik values('3');
     insert into artliik values('4');
     ...
     insert into artliik values('999');

Property table contais comma separated list of types.

     create table strings ( id char(100) primary key, kirjeldLku chr(200) );
     insert into strings values ('item1', '1,4-5' );
     insert into strings values ('item2', '1,2,3,6-9,23-44,45' );

Type can specified as single integer, e.q 1,2,3 or as range like 6-9  or 
23-44
List can contain both of them.


How to all properties for given type.
Query

     select id
     from artliik
     join strings on ','||trim(strings.kirjeldLku)||',' like 
'%,'||trim(artliik.liiginrlki)||',%'

returns date for single integer list only.
How to change join so that type ranges in list like 6-9 are also returned?
Eq. f list contains 6-9, Type 6,7,8 and 9 shoud included in report.

Postgres 13 is used.
