Connect By Prior

Question

Hi Friends,
I have a Query in which i fetch all the child records of parent using connect by prior.But with this i want that it also returns the parent also.
Like If A has three child B,C,D then it returns only B,C,D but with this i want that it also returns the A.
And the finsl result will includes A,B,C,D all values.
There is the Query
SELECT A.ACCOUNT_NUMBER, A.ACCOUNT_ID, A.FUNCTIONAL_CURRENCY_CODE, A.ACCOUNT_NAME, PARENT_ACCOUNT_NUMBER
     FROM
          (SELECT CHILD_ACCOUNT_NUMBER,PARENT_ACCOUNT_NUMBER
          FROM ACCOUNT_MEMBER
                    START WITH     PARENT_ACCOUNT_NUMBER = (SELECT ACCOUNT_NUMBER
                                                                 FROM ACCOUNT
                                                                 WHERE ACCOUNT_ID = '1671'
                    CONNECT BY PRIOR
     CHILD_ACCOUNT_NUMBER = PARENT_ACCOUNT_NUMBER
          )AM,
          ACCOUNT A
WHERE A.ACCOUNT_NUMBER = AM.CHILD_ACCOUNT_NUMBER.
Plz suggest me that how can i fetch the Parent also with the child values.

Hi,
I know nothing of your data structure and can just
interpret your example (it would be helpfull to give
us create table and some data script).
IMHO you need the following
SELECT A.ACCOUNT_NUMBER, A.ACCOUNT_ID, A.FUNCTIONAL_CURRENCY_CODE, A.ACCOUNT_NAME, PARENT_ACCOUNT_NUMBER
FROM
(SELECT CHILD_ACCOUNT_NUMBER,PARENT_ACCOUNT_NUMBER
FROM ACCOUNT_MEMBER
START WITH CHILD_ACCOUNT_NUMBER = (SELECT ACCOUNT_NUMBER
FROM ACCOUNT
WHERE ACCOUNT_ID = '1671'
CONNECT BY PRIOR
CHILD_ACCOUNT_NUMBER = PARENT_ACCOUNT_NUMBER
)AM,
ACCOUNT A
WHERE A.ACCOUNT_NUMBER = AM.CHILD_ACCOUNT_NUMBER
