Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: A tale of two tables (and recursive SQL)
Doh! A bit of confusion as I re-read my own post. The line:
"don't want hierarchies in T2 whose "assembly" in T1 has "some_flag" set.
In"
has the tables reversed and *should* read:
"don't want hierarchies in T1 whose "assembly" in T2 has "some_flag" set.
In"
<blush>

Hey all,
In 8.1.7.2 on HP/UX, a developer has tables T1 and T2 in our manufacturing (ERP) DB. T1 is a hierarchical bill-of-materials ("BOM") and T2 is the part master. Of course, we need to recurse down T1, like this:
SELECT LEVEL, assembly, component, qty FROM T1 START WITH assembly = 'ASSY01' CONNECT BY PRIOR component = assembly;
...which works great to get us the exploded BOM. The problem is that we don't want hierarchies in T2 whose "assembly" in T1 has "some_flag" set. In syntactically-incorrect code, we want;
SELECT LEVEL, assembly, component, qty FROM T1 START WITH assembly = 'ASSY01' CONNECT BY PRIOR component = assembly AND PRIOR component = (SELECT partno FROM T2 WHERE partno = PRIOR component AND some_flag = 'Y')
The problem, of course, is that I can't connect the PRIOR component to a table in the subquery.
Anyone have an idea? I can't move that subquery to be outside of the
CONNECT BY SELECT because the entire hierarchy below the component whose
"some_flag" != 'Y' needs to be ignored (i.e. subcomponents at lower levels
may have this flag set to 'Y', but because the parent's was not, we don't
want the subcomponents, either).
TIA!
