Thread: connectby

hi

I have menu table:
  id          | integer | not null default
nextval('public.menu_id_seq'::text)
  parent_id   | integer |
  description | text    |

I do select:
test=> SELECT * FROM connectby('menu','id','parent_id','2',0,'~') t(id
integer, parent_id integer, level int, branch text);
  id | parent_id | level |   branch
----+-----------+-------+-------------
   2 |           |     0 | 2
   4 |         2 |     1 | 2~4
   7 |         4 |     2 | 2~4~7
  10 |         7 |     3 | 2~4~7~10
  16 |        10 |     4 | 2~4~7~10~16
   9 |         4 |     2 | 2~4~9

How am I able to select description file from menu table, not only id,
parent_id, level, branch fields?

Try a join with the original table:

SELECT t.*, description FROM connectby('menu','id','parent_id','2',0,'~')
AS t(id integer, parent_id integer, level int, branch text), menu
WHERE t.id = menu.id

You need to upgrade. Either install 7.3.4 or wait a few weeks and
install 7.4 when it is released.

For recent versions of PostgreSQL, go into the contrib/tablefunc directory and see the readme file
for how to install.  I downloaded PostgreSQL 7.2.3 and there was no contrib/tablefunc directory.
You'll have to upgrade.
