I know… Don’t ask (couldn’t tell you anyways). Now to be able to do this in MySQL is… well… possible… but absurd. I’m thinking of trying out the approach I’ve mused about here. It could possibly be a really great way to manage finding commonalities across tens of thousands of objects with a total of hundreds of millions of values. Or it could be a massive time sink. [...]

This method would, theoretically, have no limit on the number of items on which you could pull in a single query.

Obviously it's not going to be suitable for all data, but for some very specific use cases I'm convinced it would work.

(Nice blog, BTW)
