Yes. Wrong tool for the job. In all schemas I looked at RDBMS you can
only either do "intersections" or "unions" but not both (exception:
mysql with fulltext search).. 
I checked Simpy: Cool! union, intersection and minus possible all
mixed..
Now, Otis, how can we motivate you to say something about it's data
structure..? :-)

So then I'll wait for your clustering engine I guess..
