SQL Find alle direkte efterkommere i et træ

I den nye PostgreSQL 8.4 du kan gøre det med en CTE :

WITH RECURSIVE q AS
        (
        SELECT  h, 1 AS level, ARRAY[id] AS breadcrumb
        FROM    t_hierarchy h
        WHERE   parent = 0
        UNION ALL
        SELECT  hi, q.level + 1 AS level, breadcrumb || id
        FROM    q
        JOIN    t_hierarchy hi
        ON      hi.parent = (q.h).id
        )
SELECT  REPEAT('  ', level) || (q.h).id,
        (q.h).parent,
        (q.h).value,
        level,
        breadcrumb::VARCHAR AS path
FROM    q
ORDER BY
        breadcrumb

• PostgreSQL 8.4 :bevarer rækkefølge for hierarkisk forespørgsel

I 8.3 eller tidligere, skal du skrive en funktion:

CREATE TYPE tp_hierarchy AS (node t_hierarchy, level INT);

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION fn_hierarchy_connect_by(INT, INT)
RETURNS SETOF tp_hierarchy
AS
$$
        SELECT  CASE
                WHEN node = 1 THEN
                        (t_hierarchy, $2)::tp_hierarchy
                ELSE
                        fn_hierarchy_connect_by((q.t_hierarchy).id, $2 + 1)
                END
        FROM    (
                SELECT  t_hierarchy, node
                FROM    (
                        SELECT  1 AS node
                        UNION ALL
                        SELECT  2
                        ) nodes,
                        t_hierarchy
                WHERE   parent = $1
                ORDER BY
                        id, node
                ) q;
$$
LANGUAGE 'sql';

og vælg fra denne funktion:

SELECT  *
FROM    fn_hierarchy_connect_by(4, 1)

Den første parameter er roden id , den anden skal være 1 .
