Well, then colValue[0] is not a string. This in turn probably means that
colValue[0] does not represent the contents of a SET-type column.
However, I can't tell you what it actually is, because you're once again
not providing enough information. We'd need to see where colValue is
coming from to find out what colValue[0] is.
