Hi All -

So this may be an extraordinary dumb question (even for me...) but is
there such a thing as a map with compound keys?

For example lets say that I have a data set that looks like....

Cat        Gender         item-Id's
1                M             1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
1                F              2 4 5 6607 43 54 234
2                M             1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 44 6 23 44
2                F              2 4 6 8 10 12 17 38 55
3                M             1 2 3 4
3                F              2 4 6 8 33 45 10 12
...

where I would want to do a look up on both the category and the
gender.

I could do map - in  - map, or do something like a (str cat gender) to
amalgamate 2 fields to set the key but I was just wondering if this
even existed.

How do you all model this data?

I was using Incanter's data set $where statements for this but have
been having performance issues with it and am trying to speed up this
operation.  I have a data set with around 130,000 rows so a map would
really help pare things down in a hurry...

Sorry for the *really bad* question!

Thanks

Base
