Won't connect by entire table March 13, 2006 - 5pm Central time zone Bookmark | Bottom | Top
Reviewer: Mike from Dallas, TX
Tom,..
I didn't intend to connect by the entire table, only in this exercise because the tickets table
only has records were interested in, the ticket table does have a current_lifecycle_state column to
it.
Also, not every entity has tickets. The first query show this where clause. Sorry I didn't have it
in the second query.
The task I am trying to accomplish is not to have the query go completely down the entity table
using connect by for every record resulting from the outer connect by. For Example,..
Level1-
|_
| Level2_
| |_Level3
| |_Level3
| |_Level3
|_Level2_
| |_Level3
| |_Level3_
| |_Level4
| |_Level4
|_Level2_
For each entity, there may/may not be opened tickets in the ticket table. One could create a view
on tickets for each entity easily using the connect by and scalar subquery that returns the number
of open tickets for that entity alone.
Would there be a better way to sum up these numbers from the bottom up and therefore get a faster
return using less resources than having to use the connect by in the scalar subquery.
I hope I was a bit clearer.

Hi Tom,
How can I query all Employees ( lets say whose sal >=3000 ) and their managers.
I used the follwing but the result is not what I want
select EMPNO,SUBSTR(rpad('*',2*level,'*' ) || ENAME,1,30), MGR,SAL FROM EMP
START WITH MGR IN (SELECT X.EMPNO FROM EMP X WHERE X.SAL>=3000)
CONNECT BY PRIOR EMPNO = MGR
The Result is :
