Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: SQL Brain Teaser Challenge
Well it works but your query assumes knowledge of the tree- that it will
always only have 3 levels. Consider when I add the following 2 rows:
insert into treenode values(10,3,1,'nested folder2.2.1'); insert into treenode values(11,10,2,'nested folder2.2.2');
Now it fails. SORRY I wasn't clear on this part of the rules/spec. :-(
We should be able to add nodes and levels. We should also be able update nodes to different parents and their children and children's children (etc) should automatically following them around on the tree.
Any other ideas?

Steve,
This works for me.

Subject: SQL Brain Teaser Challenge
Challenge: present SQL results hierarchically and sort the nodes. Use sort column without changing data. Here's the DDL/DML to start:
create table treenode (
id number not null
constraint pk_treenode
primary key,
parentid number not null,
nodeorder number not null,
description varchar2(20) null);
insert into treenode values(1,0,0,'top folder');
insert into treenode values(9,1,0,'1st subfolder');
insert into treenode values(7,1,2,'3rd subfolder');
insert into treenode values(2,1,1,'2nd subfolder');
insert into treenode values(8,7,1,'folder 3 item 2');
insert into treenode values(6,2,3,'folder 2 item 3');
insert into treenode values(5,7,0,'folder 3 item 1');
insert into treenode values(3,2,2,'folder 2 item 2');
insert into treenode values(4,2,1,'folder 2 item 1');
ID PARENTID NODEORDER DESCRIPTION
---------- ---------- ---------- --------------------
1 0 0 top folder
9 1 0 1st subfolder
7 1 2 3rd subfolder
8 7 1 folder 3 item 2
5 7 0 folder 3 item 1
2 1 1 2nd subfolder
6 2 3 folder 2 item 3
3 2 2 folder 2 item 2
4 2 1 folder 2 item 1
-----------------------------------------------------
Desired SQL statement results:
ID PARENTID NODEORDER DESCRIPTION
---------- ---------- ---------- --------------------
1 0 0 top folder
9 1 0 1st subfolder
2 1 1 2nd subfolder
4 2 1 folder 2 item 1
3 2 2 folder 2 item 2
6 2 3 folder 2 item 3
7 1 2 3rd subfolder
5 7 0 folder 3 item 1
8 7 1 folder 3 item 2
-----------------------------------------------------
Kudos to anyone who can figure out how to do this via SQL.
