connect by prior id= parent_

Answer 1

actually g is another alias I created sorry I missed it... if I do this as a regular sub query I get three records but when I implement it as a recursive query it does not retutn any thing. Below is my regular query followed by the recursive query which I am using to organize the result but get no results:
REGULAR Query that retrieves records with parent_id = from the list of parent ids
select distinct f.DISPLAY_NAME, f.id, f.type_id, f.type_siteid, f.base_type_id, f.parent_id, f.sub_folder_sequence
from WWSBR_ALL_FOLDERS f, WWSBR_ALL_FOLDERS g
     where g.parent_id = ( select g.parent_id from WWSBR_ALL_FOLDERS e
where
     e.caid = 103 AND
e.parent_id <> 0 AND
e.type_id = 1 AND
e.display_in_parent_folder <> 0 AND
     e.id = f.parent_id)
order by f.id, f.sub_folder_sequence;
Recursive query that results nothing:
select distinct f.DISPLAY_NAME, f.id, f.type_id, f.type_siteid, f.base_type_id, f.parent_id, f.sub_folder_sequence
from WWSBR_ALL_FOLDERS g, WWSBR_ALL_FOLDERS f start with f.id = ( select g.parent_id from WWSBR_ALL_FOLDERS e
where
     e.caid = 103 AND
e.parent_id <> 0 AND
e.type_id = 1 AND
e.display_in_parent_folder <> 0 AND
     e.id = f.parent_id)
     connect by prior f.id= g.parent_id
order by f.id, f.sub_folder_sequence;
