Your database design doesn't work the way SQL does. Your separate items would be in their own file and your "items of a certain type that have identical properties" would be constructed by scanning that table with a DISTINCT. So yes, it's difficult to do what you want in SQL because your data isn't in a form that SQL likes. I see two options: change your schema, or do your processing in your programming language rather than in SQL.
