good morning everybody,

this is a working version of evgen potemkin's patch implementing
CONNECT BY. it has been ported to 8.3 and it seems to work flawlessly
with CVS head.
it is not supposed to be included into 8.4 but i guess it might be
useful for some people.

there are still some limitations and design issues along with Oracle
specific syntax.
however, it can be very useful for special purpose applications as it
is ways faster than connectby().

many thanks and best regards,

hans
