héhé, 
nice snipping Merlin !

I guess you are almost there, output is still wrong  (should be) (
> Eg: Take A,A,A,B,C,A,D,A,A,D,D,B,C,C and return: A,3; B,1; C,1; A,1;
> D,1; A,2; D,2; B,1; C,2
)

I don't understand enough to make the modifications =)

Cheers,

"A" or other letters don't really match your schema description.
Please provide sample schema (as in: create table ...), sample data, and
expected output.

Best regards,
