An alternative approach would be to select using a IN condition on the where 
clause and group by column 1 and column 2.  Then, using this as a sub-select 
group by the resultant column 1 and a count on column two.  The matching 
identifiers are those with a count equal to the number of entries in the 
original IN condition.

Basically count how many of values each distinct key in column 1 matches and 
keep those keys where the count and the number of values match.

Hello,

I need to search a table to find sets of rows that have a column matching 
itself for the whole set and another column matching row for row with a list I 
am going to supply. The result I should receive should be value of the column 
that matches itself.

For example given the following data in my table:

3;         1
3;         2
4;         8
4;         9
4;         10

I might need to search for 1,2. This should produce the result 3. Or if I were 
to search for 8, 9, 10 the result should be 4. Searching for 8, 9 should 
produce an empty result as should 8, 9, 10, 11.

Can anyone recommend a strategy?
