Recursive/Hierarchical Query

Hello,
I am trying to solve a problem that needs the use of recursive queries (more precisely the "connect by" clause). I have the following P table:
P1 P2
a1 a2
a1 a3
a2 a4
a3 a5
a4 a6
The result of my query should be:
P1 P2
a1 a2
a1 a3
a1 a4
a1 a5
a1 a6
a2 a4
a2 a6
As you can see, I am trying to get all the children, grandchildren, etc of every P1, going to the deepest level possible, following the transitivity property (if a1-a2, and a2-a4, then "a1 a4" will be part of the solution). The following query
select distinct P1, P2 from P
connect by P2 = prior P1
order by P1
gives me only the first level of inclusions (a1 a2, a1 a3, a2...), but I need all of them. How can I solve the problem?
Thank you!

In a 10g environment you can use the CONNECT_BY_ROOT operatory to get the root node:
WITH P AS (SELECT 'a1' P1,'a2' P2 FROM DUAL
   UNION ALL SELECT 'a1', 'a3' FROM DUAL
   UNION ALL SELECT 'a2', 'a4' FROM DUAL
   UNION ALL SELECT 'a3', 'a5' FROM DUAL
   UNION ALL SELECT 'a4', 'a6' FROM DUAL
SELECT DISTINCT CONNECT_BY_ROOT P1 P1, P2
  FROM P CONNECT BY P1 = PRIOR P2
ORDER BY P1,P2
P1 P2
a1 a2
a1 a3
a1 a4
a1 a5
a1 a6
a2 a4
a2 a6
a3 a5
a4 a6

  • Recursive Hierarchical Query with CONNECT BY/START WITH

    I want to traverse a tree which has is not hierarchical in linear sense. You know, like :
    A
    B
    C
    D
    E
    C
    F
    D
    E
    C
    You see that D, Eand C are repeated and C is under E as well as under B. I tried using CONNECT BY and START WITH but I get tripliate occurances of C under B, and 2 occurances of DEC under A and under F. Clearly this is not correct. I believe SQL3 has special way of handling with such recursive trees. How does O9i handle these constructs? Please help.

  • Recursive Sub-query Factoring vs Hierarchical Query

    Experts,
    The below are two queries i am executing by using classical approach hierarchical and newest recursive sub-query.Problem is output was different for recursive sub-query factoring, as this is not showing parent-child approach, while connect by prior is showing parent-child fashion.Query 1, i am using hierarchical as it showing correct output parent-child approach, while Query 2 is displaying all the level 1 nodes and then level 2 nodes.I want query 2 output to be same as query 1.Please modify query 2 as required.
    Note:The output of the both queries won't be in displayed as it was in sqlplus, or toad.Please copy and use in your command prompts.

    Hi,
    What's wrong with Query 1? If it's producing the results you want, then why not use it?
    One of the nice features of CONNECT BY is that the output is automatically presented in hierachical order. The only way I know of to get the results of a recursive WITH clause in any kind or order is to do it yourself. Here's one way:
    WITH       secmain (id, name, mgrid, hierlevel, path)     AS
         SELECT  id
         ,     name
         ,     mgrid
         ,     1               AS hierlevel
         ,     RPAD (name, 10)          AS path          -- Assuming name is never longer than 10
         FROM      main
         WHERE      mgrid     IS NULL
        UNION ALL
             SELECT     m.id
         ,     m.name
         ,     m.mgrid
         ,     sm.hierlevel + 1
         ,     sm.path || RPAD (name, 10)
         FROM     main      m
         JOIN     secmain  sm  ON   (m.mgrid     = sm.id)
         CYCLE     id     -- Why do you need this if CONNECT BY NOCYCLE wasn't needed in Query 1?
         SET      is_cycle     TO 1
         DEFAULT 0
    SELECT        lpad ( ' '
                , 2 * (hierlevel - 1)
                ) || name                 AS name
    ,       hierlevel
    FROM        secmain
    ORDER BY  path

  • A help with a hierarchical query

    I've got two tables:
    FOLDERS where relevant fields are: folderId, parentFolderId, folderQuota
    and DOCUMENTS where the relevant fields are: folderId, size
    FOLDERS is hierarchical - parentFolderId of a child's folder is set to folderId of the parent
    folderQuota is nullable (quota not set)
    Now, I need to execute a query with the following recursive logic
    <i>function calcQuota (folderIdpar, isFirstpar) {
    if (not isFirstpar) and (folderQuota of folder with folderIdpar is not null) return folderQuota;
    return size of all documents where folderId = folderIdpar + calcQuota (folderId of all children, false);
    }</i>
    (I hope the pseudocode is understandable - the query is executed as <i>calcQuota(originalFolderId, true)</i>).
    Now, my question is if I can achieve it with a single hierarchical query, or if I have to implement it as a recursive stored procedure.
    Thanks!
    P.S. I'm using Oracle XE (10g)

    OK,
    I will need to create it (in real life it is created by an application), so I hope I will make it correct. If not, it should be easy to fix.
    create table folders (
    folder_id number primary key
    parent_folder_id number,
    quota number
    create table documents (
    document_id number primary key
    folder_id number,
    size number
    INSERT INTO folders (folder_id, quota) VALUES (1, 1);
    INSERT INTO folders (folder_id, parent_folder_id, quota) VALUES (2, 1, 2);
    INSERT INTO folders (folder_id, parent_folder_id) VALUES (3, 1);
    INSERT INTO folders (folder_id, parent_folder_id, quota) VALUES (4, 2, 4);
    INSERT INTO folders (folder_id, parent_folder_id) VALUES (5, 2);
    INSERT INTO folders (folder_id, parent_folder_id, quota) VALUES (6, 3, 8);
    INSERT INTO folders (folder_id, parent_folder_id) VALUES (7, 3);
    INSERT INTO documents (document_id, folder_id, size) VALUES (1, 1, 16);
    INSERT INTO documents (document_id, folder_id, size) VALUES (2, 2, 32);
    INSERT INTO documents (document_id, folder_id, size) VALUES (3, 3, 64);
    INSERT INTO documents (document_id, folder_id, size) VALUES (4, 3, 128);
    INSERT INTO documents (document_id, folder_id, size) VALUES (5, 4, 256);
    INSERT INTO documents (document_id, folder_id, size) VALUES (6, 5, 512);
    INSERT INTO documents (document_id, folder_id, size) VALUES (7, 6, 1024);
    INSERT INTO documents (document_id, folder_id, size) VALUES (8, 7, 2048);
    running the query for folder_id = 1 should return 1 + 2 + 64 + 128 + 8 + 2048 = 2251
    running the query for folder_id = 2 should return 4 + 512 = 516
    I have decided for this data, because it allows to track what values (folder.quota or document.size) is included in the result.
    (it is the knapsack problem - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knapsack_problem)
    P.S. I'm leaving for three weeks, so I will come back after that.

  • Is it possible to implement Recursive CTE query in MDX to Cube dataset?

    I have data with hierarchical relationship like this:
    Release -> Features -> PBI/Bugs -> Tasks/Test Case. I have two datasets Work Item and Work Item Linked to get this hierarchical information.
    The data looks like this:
    Something like if I pass a Release ID, I need to get all the children and sub-children also. Basically a report like this:
    I did this by implementing a recursive CTE query with warehouse tables. But it takes more time to load. SO trying to find the possibility using MDX and querying the cube datasets

    Hello,
    There is nothing stopping you from querying the cache to see what is in it. However, this will only take into account items that are already in the cache. If you need a query to return items that are potentially not in the cache, you need to query the database, have the query return keys, and then request those keys through Coherence - which will in turn pull the items from the database as needed.

  • Slow Hierarchical Query

    Hi,
    I have a hierarchical query which takes 2 seconds to execute. I need to get this down to milli seconds.
    The table has around 8000 records. The query will never return more than 20 or so records. There is only ever 2 levels to the query.
    I am quite surprised at this because it is a very simple query no table joins etc and I would have though 8000 records was nothing for Oracle.
    Select id, parent_id, col1, col2, col3, col4, col5, col6
    from my_table
    where id=500
    start with parent_id is null
    connect by prior id = parent_id;
    I have even tried initializing the start with say with 0 and making it a not null column...... indexing the columns used in the start with + connect by
    I have tried various indexing stratergies. Does anyone have any similar experience? I am using Oracle 9i.
    Thanks in advance

    How can I utilise the above query in a view if at all? Will I be able to pass in differnt ID's to the START WITH...?Certainly, you can. For example, you can use packaged

    Hope you can see what my problem is ;-)

    The effect of not having a start with clause in a hierarchical query is that a hierarchy is produced starting at every possible entry-point. So, you'll get the hierachy from node 1, the hierarchy from all nodes 2, the hierarchy from all nodes 3 and so one. Whether it starts with the correct one or not is not really relevant, as you already figured out that you get too much....
    So, just believe it, add a start with clause...and your problems are gone.

  • [Oracle 8i] Need help pruning branches from a hierarchical query

    My problem is that my hierarchical query seems only to trim out the values that don't meet my criteria, but still includes their children. When my query hits a record that does not meet my criteria, I want it to stop there. I've tried including the criteria in just the 'where' clause of the query, and have also put the criteria in the 'connect by' clause as well, but nothing has fixed it. Please keep in mind I'm using Oracle 8i, so I can't use some of the 'nicer' statements for hierarchical queries that they introduced in 9. I'm stuck with 'Start With...Connect By'.
    I have sample tables/data that I can post if someone needs to see that to help me, but to start with, here's my current query:

    The outside criterion of part_type='M' isn't my problem. Where I'm actually seeing my issue rear its ugly head is in the criterion:
    (c_bill.view_code     IN      ('M','G'))What I'll have happen is that one of the children or grandchildren of the part number I'm querying for (my parameter), will be of some view code that's not 'M' or 'G'. In my sample data below, I have a level 4 part that is part of the 'H' view code, which I don't want, nor do I want it's children. However, its child is in the 'G' view code, and my query returns it anyway.
    In my sample data below, I'm assuming that the parameter = 'XYZ-100'

  • Hierarchical Query with Rollup Sum (CONNECT BY with GROUP BY ROLLUP)

    Hi all,
    Imagine the following scenario: i have an ACCOUNT table which holds accounts and their hierarchy (currently 5 levels), and a BALANCE table which holds balance records for the accounts. Only CHILD accounts (level 5) have records in the BALANCE table. Simple example:
    CREATE TABLE accounts (account_code VARCHAR2(30), parent_account VARCHAR2(30), account_desc VARCHAR2(400));
    CREATE TABLE balances (account_code VARCHAR2(30), balance_amount NUMBER(18,2));
    INSERT INTO ACCOUNTS VALUES ('TOT',NULL,'Total');
    INSERT INTO ACCOUNTS VALUES ('ANA1','TOT','General Expenses');
    INSERT INTO ACCOUNTS VALUES ('4801001','ANA1','Small Expenses');
    INSERT INTO ACCOUNTS VALUES ('4801002','ANA1','Transportation');
    INSERT INTO ACCOUNTS VALUES ('ANA2','TOT','Health Expenses');
    INSERT INTO ACCOUNTS VALUES ('4802001','ANA2','Healthcare');
    INSERT INTO ACCOUNTS VALUES ('4802002','ANA2','Facilities');
    INSERT INTO BALANCES VALUES ('4801001', 2000);
    INSERT INTO BALANCES VALUES ('4801002', 1000);
    INSERT INTO BALANCES VALUES ('4802001', 3000);
    INSERT INTO BALANCES VALUES ('4802002', 4000);What i need in this scenario is to run a hierarchical query, where for each node i compute the sum of all its children (In LEAF nodes which are the child accounts, this sum is the value in BALANCES itself). Final Result would be:
    TOT -> 10000
      ANA1 -> 3000
        4801001 -> 2000
        4801001 -> 1000
      ANA2 -> 7000
        4802001 -> 3000
        4802002 -> 4000I have tried various ways, and found out a workaround which works for a fixed amount of levels, basically it builds the hierarchy and computes the SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH, then splits this as a regular expression and uses GROUP BY ROLLUP to compute the higher levels. Then i assemble it again, now with the computed values. Below is the example query:
    select level
        , NVL (vfinal.child_account,'TOTAL') ||' - '||
                            ( SELECT account_desc
                                FROM accounts
                               WHERE account_code = vfinal.child_acct ) account_name
         , to_char(sum_bal, 'fm999g999g999g990') as rolled_up_balance
      from
    select coalesce( princ.lvl3, princ.lvl2, princ.lvl1 ) child_acct
         , DECODE ( princ.lvl2 , NULL
                                     , NULL
                                     , DECODE ( princ.conta_lvl3, NULL
                                     , princ.conta_lvl1,princ.conta_lvl2 ) ) parent_acct
         , sum(princ.balance_amount) sum_bal
    from (
    select hier.lvl1
         , hier.lvl2
         , hier.lvl3
         , hier.parent_account
         , hier.account_code child_acc
         , bal.balance_amount
      from ( select level 
                  , sys_connect_by_path( account_code, '/' ) hierarchy_acct
                  , REGEXP_SUBSTR(sys_connect_by_path( account_code, '/' ),'[^/]+',1,3) lvl3
                  , REGEXP_SUBSTR(sys_connect_by_path( account_code, '/' ),'[^/]+',1,2) lvl2
                  , REGEXP_SUBSTR(sys_connect_by_path( account_code, '/' ),'[^/]+',1,1) lvl1
                  , account_code
                  , parent_account 
               from accounts acc
               where level <= 3
               start with parent_account is null
               connect by nocycle prior account = parent_account
               order siblings by parent_account
               ) hier
          , balances  bal
      where bal.cod_conta  = hier.account_code
    ) princ
    where princ.lvl1 is not null
    group by rollup ( princ.lvl1
                    , princ.lvl2
                    , princ.lvl3 )
    order by princ.conta_lvl1
           , princ.conta_lvl2
           , princ.conta_lvl3
    ) vfinal
    where child_acct is not null
    start with parent_acct is null
    connect by nocycle prior child_acct = parent_acctAll said and done, what i need is to do the same thing for infinite levels, because this query has 3 fixed levels. Do you know how can i structure a new query where, independently of the number of levels, the parent sums are all rolled up like this?
    Thanks a lot in advance! Best Regards!

    Thanks for posting the CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements. Remember why you do it: so that the people who want to help you can re-create the problem and test their ideas. If the statments don't work, then they are not so useful. None of the INSERT statements you posted work: they all need a VALUES keyword. Please test those statments before you post them.
    Also, make sure that the reuslts you post correspond to the sample data you post. In your sample data, there are no rows in balances for account_codes '4801002' or '4802002'.
    I think you want something like this:
    WITH  connect_by_results      AS

  • Need to populate a hierarchical query results in detail block of WIPTXCFM

    Hi All,
    I would need to customize WIPTXCFM to populate all layered sub assembly schedule numbers against a Final Assembly schedule number.
    Requirement is as soon as User enter a FA schedule number; it should populate all levels Sub Assembly Schedule Numbers under this.
    I have thought of 1 approach; need suggestion if there is any better way to achieve this to improve the performance.
    My Approach: In custom WIPTXCFM form once the FA schedule number is entered; I can fetch all below level data(e.g Level1, level2 ...etc.)
    using a cursor with hierarchical query. Then loop through the cursor and insert them in the block after the FA record.
    So would look for your suggestion if there is any other better way to achieve this.
    Thanks in adv.
    Regards.

    As per my findings; this hierarchical query takes longer to fetch the below levels data, around 1.5 mins.

  • Problem with Hierarchical query

    Gurus,
    I have a problem with hierarchical query, which I am pasting below.
    select sys_connect_by_path (Fname,'/')"PATH",Fname,id,level
    ,(SELECT COUNT(ID)-1 FROM (SELECT CONNECT_BY_ROOT LNAME LNAME,ID FROM CMT_PERSON
    START WITH ID = 'emplo000000000126009'
    CONNECT BY PRIOR ID=MANAGER_ID)
    GROUP BY FNAME)"COUNT"
    from CMT_PERSON
    WHERE
    LEVEL <= 4
    ----And ID='emplo000000000001877'
    CONNECT BY PRIOR id=manager_id
    ----AND NOT LEVEL > 3
    START WITH ID='emplo000000000126009'
    As per the result, count is getting repeated for all the levels. That is, count is coming 16100 for every level, Can you please help where exactly I am going wrong
    Regards

    You do not say anything about what count you want to get?
    A wild guess could be:
    select
       sys_connect_by_path (p1.fname, '/') "PATH",
       p1.fname,
       p1.id,
       level,
       (select count (id) - 1
        from
           (select connect_by_root p2.lname lname, p2.id
            from cmt_person p2
            start with p2.id = p1.id
            connect by prior p2.id = p2.manager_id)
        ) "COUNT"
    from cmt_person p1
    where level <= 4
    connect by prior p1.id = p1.manager_id
    start with p1.id = 'emplo000000000126009';Since your inner query simply starts with the hardcoded employee id, naturally it will give you the same count.
    My guess is your inner query should start with the person id from the outer query?
    If that is not the case - please state in plain english what you are trying to accomplish ;-)
    (Oh, and please paste code within tags so we can read it more easily...)

    In above posts you have solution to your problem but maybe you can think about changeing the design slightly.
    I would suggest using parent_id to find parent account, instead of operations on strings which can be slower in larger tables.
    SQL> create table t14(id int, account_code varchar2(16), account_name varchar2(32), parent_id int)
      2  /
    Table created.
    SQL> insert into t14 values(1,'01','Assets',null);
    1 row created.
    SQL> insert into t14 values(2,'01001','Current Assets',1);
    1 row created.
    SQL> insert into t14 values(3,'01002','Current Assets',1);
    1 row created.
    SQL> commit;
    Commit complete.
    SQL> select * from t14;
            ID ACCOUNT_CODE     ACCOUNT_NAME                      PARENT_ID
             1 01               Assets
             2 01001            Current Assets                            1
             3 01002            Current Assets                            1
    SQL> select lpad(' ',2*(level-1)) || account_code as account_code, account_name
      2  from t14
      3  start with parent_id is null connect by prior id = parent_id
      4  /
    ACCOUNT_CODE                   ACCOUNT_NAME
    01                             Assets

  • Hierarchical query with where clause

    Hi,
    How can I query hierarchically a query with WHERE clause? I have a table with three fields session_id,id and root_id.
    When I try with the following query,
    select id, level from relation
    where session_id = 79977
    connect by prior id = root_id start with id = 5042;
    It gets duplicate values.
    I want the query to show in the hierarchical manner with a filter condition using WHERE clause. Please help me how can I achieve this. If you know any link that describes more about this, please send it.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Regards,
    -Parmy

    Hi Sridhar Murthy an others,
    Thanks a lot for your/the answer. It's working for me. It saved a lot of other work around without the proper knowledge of hierarchical query. Please send me any link that describes these issues in detail and also I hope as I have mentioned in the other message, same cannot be achieved on views or ( on two different tables ???)
    Any way thanks for your reply,
    It's working for me.
    With happiness,

  • Problem with different execution paths in hierarchical query

    Hello,
    I have problems with the following query:
    SELECT DISTINCT P.ID FROM PRODUCTELEMENTIMPL P WHERE ( ( LABEL = 'SomeLabel' AND PRODUCTELEMENTTYPE = 'SomeText' AND ( STATE = 'created' OR STATE = 'stored' OR STATE = 'archived' OR STATE = 'archivedRestored' ) ) ) START WITH P.ID = 42 CONNECT BY PRIOR P.ID = P.PARENT
    We have two databases (an Oracle 10g XE and Oracle10g Enterprise). In the XE Database the query is executed very fast, but in the main installation it takes minutes. If I "explain" the query I get two different execution paths:

    Hello,
    thank you for your replies. The indices and table schemas are the "same", but only the content for the tables was mirrored.
    We made some tests with dropping and/or analyzing the tables, but it didn't change anything.
    The main problem is that the query takes 33s in the productive environment for searching in a couple of rows. At the moment it's faster to make
    SELECT DISTINCT P.ID, P.STATE FROM PRODUCTELEMENTIMPL P WHERE ( ( LABEL = 'SomeLabel' AND PRODUCTELEMENTTYPE = 'SomeText' ) ) START WITH P.ID = 42 CONNECT BY PRIOR P.ID = P.PARENT
    and to test in the application if the state-values match ;-)
    If I add the hint /*+ no_filtering */ in the test environment, I get the same "slow" execution path as in the production environment. So the question is, what prevents the filtering in "connect by"?
    (I think in the fast version it filters only the results of the hierarchical query, in the slow version it first filters the whole table and joins/merge it with the hierachical result).
    bye
