SELECT ename
FROM scott.emp
START
WITH ename = 'KING'
CONNECT BY PRIOR empno = mgr;
--
得到結果為:
KING
JONES
SCOTT
ADAMS
FORD
SMITH
BLAKE
ALLEN
WARD
MARTIN
TURNER
JAMES
而:
SELECT
SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH(ename, '>') "Path"
FROM scott.emp
START
WITH ename = 'KING'
CONNECT BY PRIOR empno = mgr;
--得到結果為:

其實SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH這個函數是oracle9i才新提出來的!
它一定要和connect by子句合用!
第
一個參數是形成樹形式的欄位,第二個參數是父級和其子級分隔顯示用的分隔字元!
START WITH 代表你要開始遍曆的的節點!
CONNECT BY PRIOR 是標示父子關係的對應!
如下例子:
view plaincopy to clipboardprint?
select max(
substr(
sys_connect_by_path(column_name,',')
,2)
)
from (select column_name,rownum rn from
user_tab_columns where table_name ='AA_TEST')
start with rn=1
connect by rn=rownum ;
select max(
substr(
sys_connect_by_path(column_name,',')
,2)
)
from
(select column_name,rownum rn from user_tab_columns where table_name
='AA_TEST')
start with rn=1 connect by rn=rownum ;
是將列用,進行分割成為一行,然後將首個,去掉,只取取最大的那個資料。
---------------------------------------------
下面是別人的例子:
1、帶層次關係
view plaincopy to clipboardprint?
SQL> create table dept(deptno
number,deptname varchar2(20),mgrno number);
Table
created.
SQL> insert into dept values(1,'總公司',null);
1 row created.
SQL> insert into dept
values(2,'浙江分公司',1);
1 row created.
SQL>
insert into dept values(3,'杭州分公司',2);
1 row created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL>
select max(substr(sys_connect_by_path(deptname,','),2)) from dept
connect by prior deptno=mgrno;
MAX(SUBSTR(SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH(DEPTNAME,','),2))
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
總公司,浙江分公司,杭州分公司
SQL> create table dept(deptno
number,deptname varchar2(20),mgrno number);
Table created.
SQL> insert into dept values(1,'總公司',null);
1 row created.
SQL> insert into dept values(2,'浙江分公司',1);
1 row created.
SQL> insert into dept values(3,'杭州分公司',2);
1 row created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> select max(substr(sys_connect_by_path(deptname,','),2)) from
dept connect by prior deptno=mgrno;
MAX(SUBSTR(SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH(DEPTNAME,','),2))
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
總
公司,浙江分公司,杭州分公司
2、行列轉換
如把一個表的所有列連成一行,用逗號分隔:
view plaincopy to clipboardprint?
SQL> select
max(substr(sys_connect_by_path(column_name,','),2))
from (select
column_name,rownum rn from user_tab_columns where table_name ='DEPT')
start
with rn=1 connect by rn=rownum ;
MAX(SUBSTR(SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH(COLUMN_NAME,','),2))
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEPTNO,DEPTNAME,MGRNO
