Re: Combinatorial problem

Dear Sean,
Thank you for your help.

I have another question and sorry to bother you. If I
do not know the pairing before hand for drugs (such as
m1,m3 and m5) how can I define any random combination.
should it have to be solved using PL/PgSQL or just
through SQL queries?

thanks
