Sorry for the unhelpful title, but hopefully I can explain this well enough.
Lets say I have three tables,
Item
ItemKey
ItemName
Group
GroupKey
GroupItem
GroupKey
ItemKey
Given an ItemKey, how would I get all records from the item table that belong to a group containing the item key?
So if I have
Item
1 ItemA
2 ItemB
3 ItemC
Group
1
2
3
GroupItem
1 1
1 2
2 1
2 2
3 2
3 3
Passing in 1 will return ItemA and ItemB, but not ItemC since there is no group with both ItemA and ItemC in it.
