Hi,
SELECT SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH(name, ' ') "Path" FROM
(SELECT rownum ID ,rownum-1 PID,name FROM (
SELECT 'CHITTA' NAME FROM DUAL UNION SELECT 'RANJAN' FROM DUAL))
where id = (2) -- this should be max Rownum
START WITH pID=0
CONNECT BY PRIOR id = pid
or if it is a table
SELECT SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH(dname, ' ') "Path" FROM
(SELECT rownum ID ,rownum-1 PID,dname FROM (select * from dept))
where id = (select max(rownum) from dept)
START WITH pID=0
CONNECT BY PRIOR id = pid
It is OK With you ..
Bye
