Thread: WITH/WITH RECURSIVE implementation discussion
Hi folks, Looking ahead at some of the projects I'll be working on in the future, I'm seeing that having an implementation of WITH/WITH RECURSIVE for working with tree structures is going to be a very useful feature and so would like to re-start the discussions on this to see whether this could be achieved for PG 8.2. The latest discussion I found related to this appears to be here: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2005-11/msg00564.php which indicates that Jonah is hoping to work on this for 8.2, but I don't see this item as being worked on in the TODO list - does that mean that development on this has halted?

No, in between all my other work here at EnterpriseDB, I'm still working on it. I hope to get it submitted to -patches for review in the next two weeks. -- Jonah H.

While I wouldn't say that I have intimate knowledge of the PostgreSQL internals, I'd be happy to try and help you with this if time is proving to be a problem.

After I post the patches, your assistance would be really helpful in making any changes the community sees necessary. -- Jonah H.
