"round-robin" usually implies every member paired with every other member...once....ie as in soccer matches between teams in a league....

in which case you want something along the lines of...


select * from emptable a inner join emptableb on 1 = 1
where a.id < b.id

ie....effectively a cross join, minus the entries where teama plays teama.
and minus the reverse fixture...(i'm using soccer terminology here...to simply things)

if this is not what you want....explain YOUR idea of 'round-robin'...and/or supply sample input data and expected results....
