--SQL基础-->层次化查询(START BY ... CONNECT BY PRIOR)
--======================================================
层次化查询,即树型结构查询,是SQL中经常用到的功能之一,通常由根节点,父节点,子节点,叶节点组成,其语法如下:
SELECT [LEVEL] ,column,expression,...
FROM table_name
[WHERE where_clause]
[[START WITH start_condition] [CONNECT BY PRIOR prior_condition]];
LEVEL:为伪列,用于表示树的层次
start_condition：层次化查询的起始条件
prior_condition：定义父节点和子节点之间的关系
--使用start with ...connect by prior 从根节点开始遍历
SQL> select empno,mgr,ename,job from emp
2 start with empno = 7839
3 connect by prior empno = mgr;

树型结构遍历过程(通过上面的查询来描述)
1).从根节点开始(即where_clause中的条件,如果为非根节点则分根节点作为根节点开始遍历,如上例empno = 7839)
2).遍历根节点(得到empno = 7839记录的相关信息)
3).判断该节点是否存在由子节点，如果则访问最左侧未被访问的子节点,转到),否则下一步
如上例中prior_condition为empno = mgr,即子节点的mgr等于父节点的empno,在此时mgr为7839的记录
4).当节点为叶节点，则访问完毕,否则,转到)
5).返回到该节点的父节点,转到)
--伪列level的使用
--注意connect by prior empno = mgr 的理解
--prior表示前一条记录,即下一条返回记录的mgr应当等于前一条记录的empno
