Hello,
 
Has anyone considdered adding the START WITH and CONNECT BY functionallity that Oracle has.  I've been developing for many years now and I find that almost every application we build requires some kind of hierarchical structure.  I know there are other ways of accomplishing this in Postgresql, but I've always found it to be more work than using something simple like the Oracle START WITH/CONNECT BY clause.
 
It's been over 5 years since I've done any c/c++ development but it might be a little fun to work on.  So I was wondering where would be the best place for someone to start if they were to considder developing this functionallity?
 
Thank you
