Question

oracle connect by 和 start with 的用法

求大侠说一下。
connect by prior ，在实际的开发应用中什么时候会用到？

Answer 1

给你看个例子你就明白了

SQL> SELECT * FROM DEP;

DEPID DEPNAME UPPERDEPID
----------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------
0 General Deparment
1 Development 0
2 QA 0
3 Server Development 1
4 Client Development 1
5 TA 2
6 Porject QA 2

--
SQL> SELECT RPAD( ' ', 2*(LEVEL-1), '-' ) || DEPNAME "DEPNAME",
CONNECT_BY_ROOT DEPNAME "ROOT",
CONNECT_BY_ISLEAF "ISLEAF",
LEVEL ,
SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH(DEPNAME, '/') "PATH"
FROM DEP
START WITH UPPERDEPID IS NULL
CONNECT BY PRIOR DEPID = UPPERDEPID;

DEPNAME ROOT ISLEAF LEVEL PATH
------------------------------ ------------------- ---------- ---------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
General Deparment General Deparment 0 1 /General Deparment
-Development General Deparment 0 2 /General Deparment/Development
---Server Development General Deparment 1 3 /General Deparment/Development/Server Development
---Client Development General Deparment 1 3 /General Deparment/Development/Client Development
-QA General Deparment 0 2 /General Deparment/QA
---TA General Deparment 1 3 /General Deparment/QA/TA
---Porject QA General Deparment 1 3 /General Deparment/QA/Porject QA

1. CONNECT_BY_ROOT 返回当前节点的最顶端节点
2. CONNECT_BY_ISLEAF 判断是否为叶子节点，如果这个节点下面有子节点，则不为叶子节点
3. LEVEL 伪列表示节点深度
4. SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH函数显示详细路径，并用“/”分隔

Answer 2

递归查询，当数据结构呈现为树形、链表形时非常有效。
例如，菜单、组织机构等。
