Re: WITH support

Hello,

I can see : WITH RECURSIVE hierarchical queries (Jonah H. Harris) in :

http://developer.postgresql.org/index.php/Todo:WishlistFor83

GREAT!!!

Such feature is very important, because it is supported in most of
commercial database
SQL Server 2003 support WITH RECURSIVE
DB2 support it too (WITH RECURSIVE has been invented by IBM)
Oracle support CONNECT BY (which is not standard, but very easier to use
compare to WITH RECURSIVE)

PostGreSQL would be the first opensource database supporting
hierarchical queries...

Today we use the "CONNECT BY" patch made by evgen potemkin
http://gppl.moonbone.ru/, it works well on 8.1...
But we are ready to drop it if WITH RECURSIVE is integrated!!!

It would be great to open a page on the developper wiki on this subject?

Sincerely

Hubert FONGARNAND
