I am not that familiar with SQL Server, so I do not know if there is a method to dynamically create rows as is possible with Oracle’s CONNECT BY LEVEL syntax. Maybe another reader knows a method – maybe using a T-SQL to read the data and then load it into an array in memory?

If you did set up a table, SQL Server should be able to perform the comparisons. It supports inline views (although it is apparently necessary to always alias those inline view), and the SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT ) syntax:
