Yesterday I used MySQL to implement the Oracle recursive statement connect by, which looks slightly more complicated. See how PostgreSQL is implementing connect by for Oracle today.
or using the same table and data as yesterday. PostgreSQL prides itself on being the most Oracle-like database, so most of the statements can be implemented in a simple and disguised way.
At this point, you can use his own with recursive functionality, and you can also use a third-party extension like the Connect by function.
First Look at the 1th, with a recursive with to show the path of this tree.
t_girl=# with recursive tmp_country (Id,path) as t_girl-# (T_girl (# Select a.ID, '/' | | B.name as "path" from Country_relation as a inner join country as B in (a.id = b.id) where A.parentid is Nullt_girl (# Uni On Allt_girl (# Select A.id,q.path| | ' /' | | B.name as "path" from Country_relation as a inner joins Tmp_country as q on (q.id = A.parentid) t_girl (# INNER JOIN country As B on (a.id = b.id) t_girl (#) t_girl-# Select A.path from Tmp_country as A; Path-----------------------------------------------/earth/earth/north America/earth/south America /earth/europe/earth/asia/earth/africa/earth/australia/earth/north America/canada/earth/north America/Central America/earth/north america/island Nations/earth/north america/united states/earth/north America/United States/ Alabama/earth/north america/united States/alaska/earth/north america/united States/arizona/earth/north America/ States/arkansas/earth/north america/united States/california (rows) time:3.260 ms
You can also use the Connect by function with the tablefunc extension to traverse the tree.
Since the two tables designed yesterday are related by ID, this extension comes with the function to show the name is more troublesome, simply I used a temporary table to save the results I want.
t_girl=# CREATE Temporary TABLE tmp_country_relation as SELECT B.id,a.name,b.parentid, ":: Text as ParentName from Country as a,country_relation as b WHERE a.id = b.id;
The corresponding ID is updated here for name.
t_girl=# Update tmp_country_relation Set parentname = A.name from country as a where parentid = a.id; UPDATE 15time:1.829 ms
I use the Connect by Tablefunc extension to implement this tree traversal.
t_girl=# Select path from Connectby (' tmp_country_relation as a ', ' a.name ', ' a.parentname ', ' Earth ', 0, '/') as g (ID text, ParentID text,level Int,path text) order by level; Path
