Comparing a single tables records to find number of differences


Recommended Posts

So i have a SINGLE table with user track and rating columns. I have say 11 records 5 records by 1 user and 6 by the other. I need to know if both have rated the the same tracks and count if any are different or not, so if they both rated the same tracks then only 1 would be counted as different since the 11th record hasnt been rated by one user.

 

if i have sets(user, track) a(1,2,3) b(1,2,3) and count the difference, it should be 0 since there is not difference and if the sets a(1,2,3) b(1,2,3,4) the number should be 1 for there is only 1 different to set a.

 

How would i represent this in mysql.
