I need a t-sql code to get powerset of a resultset.
example input :
ColumnName
1
2
3
Example Output(one columns as nvarchar) :
1
2
3
1,2
1,3
2,3
1,2,3
Output set may contain duplicate values such as (1,3 vs 3,1).
You can use this one and get full powerset.
Enjoy it.
--EXEC PowerSet 'A,B,C,D'
Create PROCEDURE PowerSet(@Members NVARCHAR(64))
As
Begin
Declare @SubSet NVARCHAR(Max),
@SubSetCount int,
@Counter1 int,
@Counter2 int,
@ID int
Create table #Members
(
ID int IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,
Member NVARCHAR(50)
)
Create table #PowerSets
(
SubSet NVARCHAR(50)
)
-- Start Convert @Members To Table #Members
Set @Members=@Members+','
While @Members<>''
Begin
Insert Into #Members(Member)
Values(Left(@Members,CHARINDEX(',',@Members)-1))
Set @Members=RIGHT(@Members,LEN(@Members)-CHARINDEX(',',@Members))
End
-- End Convert @Members To Table #Members
-- Start Calculat PowerSet
Set @SubSetCount=POWER(2,(Select Count(*) From #Members))
Set @Counter1=0
while @Counter1<@SubSetCount
Begin

Begin
If CONVERT(char(1), @Counter2 % 2)=1
Set @SubSet=@SubSet+iif(@SubSet<>'{',',','')+(Select Member From #Members Where ID=@ID)
Set @Counter2 = CONVERT(int, (@Counter2 / 2))
Set @ID=@ID+1
End
Set @Counter1=@Counter1+1
Insert into #PowerSets(SubSet) values(@SubSet+'}')
End
-- End Calculat PowerSet
Select *
From #PowerSets
Order By Len(SubSet),SubSet
Drop Table #PowerSets
Drop Table #Members
End
