SQL Query

[Pol Appan]

I am a newbie is sql.

I have two tables called test_master and test_detail.
Both tables contains pos_id as common field.
In test_detail got sub_id and to get the people under a given pos_id, I join with pos_id of test_master.

In the where condition, when I give the pos_id, it's returning only
the first level. How can I get the second level and get all the levels?


Any help is highly appreciable.

Looking forward to hear from you.

Thanks

Cosmos,
For the second level, you can use a nested query. For an arbitrary number of levels, you need a stored procedure (or the equivalent code in Java.)

Hi Cosmos,

I'm not sure I understood the table structure you described.

You can also use hierarchical queries, if your db system supports it (Oracle does : you can use a CONNECT BY clause)(see example at Oracle site).
