Mike, I think you have solved the approach. I couldn't fathom how to
get around the 'loop' problem with the CONNECT BY PRIOR clause until
seeing your code. All I have to do now is code the routines in a
generic sense (another table with shape connectivities that may want
to search for) so that I can, arbitrarly, count the number of
triangles, rectangles, pentagons, shapes with triangles and rectangles
in them, shapes with rectangles and only one triangles but no
pentagons ...
Regards
Tony
