Requête SQL pour les combinaisons sans répétition

J'ai besoin d'une requête qui peut être utilisée dans (ou comme) une fonction et récupère toutes les combinaisons de n valeurs. Et j'ai besoin de toutes les combinaisons de longueur k où k = 1..n.

Entrée et résultat d'échantillon étendus pour que l'entrée ait 3 valeurs au lieu de 2 - cependant, le nombre de valeurs d'entrée peut varier de 1 à n.

Exemple: entrée: table avec des valeurs dans une colonne sur plusieurs lignes

Value  (nvarchar(500))
------
Ann
John
Mark

Résultat n ° 1: tableau avec valeurs concaténées dans une colonne

    Ann
    John
    Mark
    Ann,John
    John,Mark
    Ann,Mark
    Ann,John,Mark

Pour des valeurs relativement petites de n(20 dans cet exemple), vous pouvez utiliser une méthode qui exploite le fait que les entiers naturels sont des combinaisons de bits.

Solution T-SQL

Exemples de données:

DECLARE @Sample AS TABLE 
(
    item_id     tinyint IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY NONCLUSTERED,
    item        nvarchar(500) NOT NULL,
    bit_value   AS 
                CONVERT
                (
                    integer, 
                    POWER(2, item_id - 1)
                )
                PERSISTED UNIQUE CLUSTERED
);    

INSERT @Sample
    (item)
VALUES
    (N'Ann'),
    (N'Bob'),
    (N'Charles'),
    (N'Darren'),
    (N'Eric'),
    (N'Fred'),
    (N'George'),
    (N'Harry'),
    (N'Ian'),
    (N'John'),
    (N'Keith'),
    (N'Larry'),
    (N'Mark'),
    (N'Nathan'),
    (N'Owen'),
    (N'Paul'),
    (N'Quentin'),
    (N'Ryan'),
    (N'Steve'),
    (N'Terry');

Solution:

-- Maximum integer we need
-- for all combinations of 'n' bits
DECLARE 
    @max integer = 
    POWER(2,
        (
            SELECT COUNT(*) 
            FROM @Sample AS s
        )
    ) - 1;

SELECT
    combination =
        STUFF
        (
            (
                -- Choose items where the bit is set
                -- and concatenate all matches
                SELECT ',' + s.item 
                FROM @Sample AS s
                WHERE
                    n.n & s.bit_value = s.bit_value
                ORDER BY
                    s.bit_value
                FOR XML 
                    PATH (''),
                    TYPE                    
            ).value('(./text())[1]', 'varchar(8000)'), 1, 1, ''
        )
-- A standard numbers table
-- (single column, integers from 1 to 1048576, indexed)
FROM dbo.Numbers AS N
WHERE
    N.n BETWEEN 1 AND @max;

Plan d'exécution:

Il faut 41 secondes pour écrire les 1 048 576 combinaisons dans une variable de mon ordinateur portable. Avec le parallélisme forcé, j'ai pu réduire le temps d'exécution DOP 8à 13 secondes.

Si vous avez besoin d'une table Numbers, c'est un moyen rapide d'en produire une:

SELECT TOP (1048576)
    n = ISNULL(CONVERT(integer, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT NULL))), 0)
INTO dbo.Numbers
FROM sys.columns AS c
CROSS JOIN sys.columns AS c2
CROSS JOIN sys.columns AS c3;

CREATE UNIQUE CLUSTERED INDEX cuq
ON dbo.Numbers (n)
WITH (MAXDOP = 1, SORT_IN_TEMPDB = ON);

Solution SQLCLR

Une implémentation beaucoup plus efficace est possible dans SQLCLR (SQL Server 2005 et suivants):
