Lets say I have given table:
1 A 2 A 3 A
How do I JOIN / combine the table with itself so I get every possible unique pair combination of the first column:
1 1 A 1 2 A 1 3 A 2 1 A 2 2 A 2 3 A ...

You can do something like this.
Cross JOIN is used for cross product
-- create CREATE TABLE EMPLOYEE ( empId INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, name TEXT NOT NULL ); -- insert INSERT INTO EMPLOYEE VALUES (0001, 'Clark'); INSERT INTO EMPLOYEE VALUES (0002, 'Dave'); INSERT INTO EMPLOYEE VALUES (0003, 'Ava'); -- fetch SELECT e1.empId, e2.empId, e1.name FROM EMPLOYEE e1 CROSS JOIN EMPLOYEE e2;
