Connect By Query - Please help

Question

I am having some difficulty figuring out how to write this query. I have three tables that need to be joined in a heirarchial manner. So, I am assuming that I will need two or three connect by statements (haven't seen that documented anywhere). Also the values need to be returned in a single select statement so that it can be used in an insert into select... statement.
For simplicities sake, here is how the tables are laid out.
STOWAGE_PARENT
*ParentID-------------
*ParentName          |
|
STOWAGE |
*ParentID-------------
*StowageID------|------
*StowagePID-----|     |
*PartName             |
|
STOWAGE_CHILDREN |
*ChildID              | 
*StowageID-------------
*Barcode
What I need is to be able to have a single query that will return the following:
ParentName1
*PartName1
**PartName2
**Partname3
***Barcode1
***Barcode2
**PartName4
***PartName5
ParentName2
*PartName6
I am not really sure how the details will work out, but this is just my rough guess at what would be required. Hopefully there is a simple way to acomplish this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Something to the effect of:
INSERT INTO TEMP_TABLE
(DISPLAY,KEY)
SELECT Parent_Name AS DISPLAY ,Parent_ID AS KEY
FROM STOWAGE_PARENT P, STOWAGE S
CONNECT BY PRIOR P.ParentID = S.ParentID
UNION /* Not sure how this works */
SELECT PartName AS DISPLAY, STOWAGE_ID AS KEY
FROM STOWAGE S
CONNECT BY PRIOR P.StowageID = P.StowagePID
UNION
SELECT Barcode AS DISPLAY, StowageID AS KEY
FROM STOWAGE_CHILDREN C, STOWAGE S
CONNECT BY PRIOR C.AStowageID = S.StowageID
Last thing, the reason that I am needing the single query is so that I can have the query stored in a table and have it populate a table to create a comparison report. From our setup it is one of the only solutions that will work. Let me know if this is not clear enough or if you need additional information. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

1- Always include your Oracle version number (ver 9 and 10g both added new functions for use with connect by)
2- What did you get when you tried to run your query?
3- If you posted the create table statement with a few valid inserts for each table it would make it easier for someone with a few minutes of time to tack a crack at your problem.
