Hey guys,

I am not the strongest SQL developer, I just have a quick question checking if this is possible.

I have the following table:

Itemsets
itemsetid productid
| 1 | 5 |
| 1 | 6 |
| 2 | 5 |
| 2 | 9 |

What I want to do is return all the itemsets and know how many are there.

What I want returned:
[[1(5,6)],[2(5,9)]] -> length of this = 2(number of itemsets)

Something along these lines.

Any help is greatly appreciated,

Thanks

What would this bring for you?
I suppose you use SQL server. I suggest you do this on client side, or you can make .net integrated user function for that. Can be done in t-sql also, but I think it is not really good approach.

I'm using java/mysql. I agree with you, I believe I'll have to do this in java. So I can return all the items and make an algorithm to put them into a correct array. Thanks a million for the help

This is a special requirement, I suggest you make code for that.
You have 3 possibilities (http://www.codeguru.com/cpp/data/mfc_database/misc/article.php/c12615/MySQL-UDFs.htm[^]):
- Stored procedure[^]
- UDF
- Native function

It depends on your programming knowledge and the access you have to the server. If you need fast processing and you can write it in C and deploy the UDF to the server, do it. If not, write a stored procedure.
