Is that what you want:
WITH gr_counts AS (
SELECT groupid, COUNT(*) AS CNT
FROM A
GROUP BY groupid)
SELECT C.groupid AS groupid1, D.groupid AS groupid2
FROM gr_counts C, gr_counts D
WHERE D.groupid > C.groupid
AND D.count > C.count;
This will execute:
SELECT groupid, COUNT(*) AS CNT
FROM A
GROUP BY groupid
only once.
