Joe,
i've made it already,as send first 'Proposal ...' message,but found a small bug. within nearest days i'll fix it, and
postthe patch
to pgsql-patches.
i've described why i can't use connectby() in message to Josh Berkus.
i'll enhance CONNECT BY as clause, but not as function. i think it's more
'right' approach to make it:)
regards,
