Hello Everybody!
Now i did what i was requesting :) One night with a computer :))
Many-many thanks to all of you :)
Below is script to create tables and function to get a path through a
tree. It is not a beautiful thing, but it is working :)
Maybe you could give me some optimization hints? :)
And maybe you could help me with the bug: when i'm calling this
function twice in a single connection i'm getting error
SELECT id, treetable.data FROM gettree(6,7) where id=treetable.id ;
ERROR: relation with OID 45041919 does not exist
CONTEXT: PL/pgSQL function "gettree" line 18 at for over select rows
Do you have any idea how to deal with it?
Best regards,
Anton

=============== ===============
Now select from the function like this:
SELECT id, treetable.data FROM gettree(8,5) where id=treetable.id ;
And you should get a path (treetable.data added only for
visualization)
id | data
----+----------------
8 | Ch1Ch1Ch2
2 | Chield1Chield1
1 | Chield1
0 | root
3 | Chield2
4 | Chield2Chield2
5 | Ch2Ch2Ch1
(7 rows)
SELECT id, treetable.data FROM gettree(6,7) where id=treetable.id ;
id | data
----+----------------
6 | Ch2Ch2Ch2
4 | Chield2Chield2
3 | Chield2
0 | root
1 | Chield1
2 | Chield1Chield1
7 | Ch1Ch1Ch1

ANlr> Hello everybody!
ANlr> Does someone know how to build hierarchical queries to the postgresql?
ANlr> I have a table with tree in it (id, parent)
ANlr> and need to find a way from any point of the tree to any other point.
ANlr> And i would like to have a list of all steps from point A to point B
ANlr> to make some changes on each step (this is required by the algorythm).
ANlr> Here is an example:
ANlr> treetable (where tree is stored):
ANlr> id parent data
ANlr> int4 int4 varchar(255)
ANlr> 0 0 root
ANlr> 1 0 root's chield 1
ANlr> 2 0 root's chield 2
ANlr> 3 1 root's chield 1 chield 1
ANlr> 4 1 root's chield 1 chield 2
ANlr> 5 2 root's chield 2 chield 1
ANlr> 6 2 root's chield 2 chield 2
ANlr> And i want to get something like this:
ANlr> start point "root's chield 2 chield 2"
ANlr> finish "root's chield 1 chield 1"
ANlr> And the result i need:
ANlr> id parent data
ANlr> 6 2 root's chield 2 chield 2
ANlr> 2 0 root's chield 2
ANlr> 0 0 root
ANlr> 1 0 root's chield 1
ANlr> 4 1 root's chield 1 chield 2
ANlr> i know that it is possible in Oracle but what about postgres?
