-- In case you forgot to cleanup the previous demos...
DELETE FROM Adoptions WHERE Name = 'Duplicate';
DELETE FROM Animals WHERE Name IN ('Duplicate', 'Ferris');

-- 1. Start with a simple CROSS JOIN
SELECT	*
FROM	Animals AS A1
		CROSS JOIN
		Animals AS A2;

-- 2. Filter for same species and breed
SELECT	*
FROM	Animals AS A1
		INNER JOIN
		Animals AS A2
			ON	A1.Species = A2.Species
				AND
				A1.Breed = A2.Breed;

-- 3. Replace * with required column names
SELECT	A1.Species,
		A1.Breed AS Breed,
		A1.Name AS Male,
		A2.Name AS Female
FROM	Animals AS A1
		INNER JOIN
		Animals AS A2
			ON	A1.Species = A2.Species
				AND
				A1.Breed = A2.Breed
ORDER BY 	A1.Species,
			A1.Breed;

-- 4. Add predicate or comment for future developers
SELECT	A1.Species,
		A1.Breed AS Breed,
		A1.Name AS Male,
		A2.Name AS Female
FROM	Animals AS A1
		INNER JOIN
		Animals AS A2
			ON	A1.Species = A2.Species
				AND
				A1.Breed = A2.Breed -- Removes NULL breeds
				-- AND
				-- A1.Breed IS NOT NULL --
ORDER BY 	A1.Species,
			A1.Breed;

-- 5. Don't match animals with themselves.
SELECT	A1.Species,
		A1.Breed AS Breed,
		A1.Name AS Male,
		A2.Name AS Female
FROM	Animals AS A1
		INNER JOIN
		Animals AS A2
			ON	A1.Species = A2.Species
				AND
				A1.Breed = A2.Breed -- Removes NULL breeds
				AND
				A1.Name <> A2.Name
ORDER BY 	A1.Species,
			A1.Breed;

-- 6. Solution
SELECT	A1.Species,
		A1.Breed AS Breed,
		A1.Name AS Male,
		A2.Name AS Female
FROM	Animals AS A1
		INNER JOIN
		Animals AS A2
		ON	A1.Species = A2.Species
			AND
			A1.Breed = A2.Breed -- Removes NULL breeds
			AND
			A1.Name <> A2.Name
			AND
			A1.Gender = 'M'
			AND
			A2.Gender = 'F'
ORDER BY 	A1.Species,
			A1.Breed;

-- 7. Solution with > shortcut
-- 	  !!! Only works if collation is dictionary based, and if case insensitive or casing is consistent !!!
SELECT	A1.Species,
		A1.Breed AS Breed,
		A1.Name AS Male,
		A2.Name AS Female

			AND

			AND
