I'm having some difficulty with SELECT LEVEL...CONNECT BY, as illustrated below. Note that in the first query, assembly# 502-23125-00 occurs at level 1, with no expansion. However, as shown in the second query, it contains several parts. I thought perhaps the level was not being expanded because there wasn't another level below, but as shown in listing 3, this is not the problem.

I'm hoping that my error is obvious, and that somebody, after he/she recovers from the gales of laughter, is kind enough to point it out...

listing 1
SQL> SELECT level,

  2            psf_find_nbr,
  3            psf_part,
  4            psf_assy
  5     FROM sec_psf_effective_view
  6     CONNECT BY psf_part = psf_assy
  7     START WITH psf_assy = '502-25700-00';
